Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) Plant 

 Pat. 2687. A succession of chang- 

 /^^ ing colors makes American Heritage a fascinating rose to 

 ^w-' watch . . . symbolic perhaps of the many strains of people 

 that have been combined to give us our own American heritage. 

 This is another of those soft, changeable color combinations im- 

 possible to pin down on a printed page, like a whisper floating by. 

 At various times and in dififerent kinds of weather the colors can 

 vary considerably. But always they are dainty and appealing. 

 The subtle change of beauty, the soft enchanting glamor will cap- 

 ture your fancy and fascinate you throughout the season with the 

 unusual color blends. As it opens, the bud is urn shaped with 

 sulphur-yellow at the base of the petals that gently becomes 

 camellia-rose at the petal edges. The fully open bloom is cream to 

 light canary-yellow, and as it ages, the rose color at the petal margin 

 becomes more pronounced. The blooms are composed of about 50 

 to 60 petals and reach a diameter of A}^ to 5 inches. The tall plant 

 has heavy canes that grow upward rather than outward.

Four Tall Roses 



Grandiflora. (Lammerts.) Plant Pat. 



1259. To call this an outstanding rose 

 /^fe. is an understatement, for it truly dominates the scene. Not 

 ^^ only does the plant stand head and shoulders higher than 

 almost all its neighbors, but the blooming habit is unusually good 

 too. The lovely pink flowers are light in tone, with an informal 

 and artless look, and yet the overall picture of a plant in bloom 

 is extremely regal and even commanding. Buds come both singly 

 and several on a stem. Flowers are not unusually large but are 

 borne profusely and in steady succession all summer long. Cupped 

 in shape and slightly ruffled, either one bloom or a cluster is a real 

 delight. This tall plant has the unique and admirable habit of 

 pushing its canes upward, to form a strong green pillar with 

 abundant thick leaves. Hardy, healthy and long lived. Cut the 

 blooms if you must — and you will want to — but the flower-decked 

 plant is such an attraction' in the garden that you may prefer to 

 leave it alone. Visitors always comment on this marvelous plant 

 . . . want to know what it is and where they can buy one. It is 

 the first and still the finest Grandiflora, known and honored 

 around the world. Year after year it keeps its popularity, for 

 roses like this are hard to equal. Every planting of roses should 

 include at least one Queen Elizabeth. It makes a striking speci- 

 men wherever planted and will last for years. The longer you have 

 it, the more you like it.
