Roses at Their Best 



KING'S RANSOM 



Hybrid Tea. (Morey.) Plant 

 Pat. 2703. Splendid, gleam- 

 ing golden yellow blooms suggested the name for 

 a^' this big lively rose. The tightly curled, medium 

 long buds develop into 5-inch, fully double, golden 

 flowers of excellent form with full but open centers 

 that display the rose-red stamens. The 40 to 50- 

 petaled blooms come singly on long stems, perfect for 

 cutting and arranging. The upright-growing plant is 

 medium tall, with good strong heavy canes. Its 

 leathery leaves are a shiny green on the upper side and 

 a satiny, darker green on the underside. King's 

 Ransom has a nice lingering fragrance to add to its 

 many other good qualities. Highly recommended for 

 every garden, for it always makes a wonderful appear- 

 ance. The bright flowers decorate the plant in fine 

 style and open well even in bad weather. Bloom pro- 

 duction is best in spring and fall. The extra long stems 

 will make you reach for the shears so that you can 

 bring some of the flowers indoors. King's Ransom is 

 often exhibited at rose shows where its form and color 

 combine to make it a winner.

MOUNT SHASTA 



Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) 

 Plant Pat. 2732. If you like your 

 roses to be big, big, big — Mount Shasta is the one for you. 

 It is a huge, strong, wonderful white rose . . . the first 

 Grandiflora type of this color. Long-pointed, gleaming 

 white buds stand tall on their very long, strong stems, 

 and the enormous, high-centered, fragrant flowers are 

 equally dramatic. Their 25 to 30 broad, satiny petals 

 curl outward in majestic fashion. The softest lemon 

 glow in the center of the open flower relieves the spank- 

 ing white. Flowers are borne singly on a stem and in 

 two's and three's but not in large clusters like some 

 Grandifloras. This rose lasts unusually well because its 

 petals are so firm. Perfect for cutting, of course, and a 

 favorite for displaying in rose shows. Mount Shasta will 

 not give you an over-abundance of flowers at any one 

 time, but it blooms steadily all season. The plant is very 

 tall, upright and strong, with heavy grey-green leaves 

 and solid, heavy canes that hold the large blooms upright 

 under all conditions.
