Golden Girl 
Grandiflora. Melting golden yellow in 
the bud, becoming a clear, solid pure 
yellow in the open bloom with just an 
occasional touch of soft ivory on the 
outer petals. We think this is the finest 
yellow Grandiflora and one of the best 
of the pure yellow roses. 
Long, slender buds with graceful se- 
pals are reminiscent of Eclipse which 
has long been recognized as the ideal for 
bud form. Blooms are fully double, me- 
dium size and produced in large quantity 
all season. Golden Girl has more petals 
in the open bloom than Eclipse and 
therefore blooms hold their shape better 
and have a longer life. Flowers come 
continuously on good, strong stems of 
suitable length for cutting. Occasionally 
one bloom to the stem but more often in 
candelabra-like clusters. There is al- 
ways a moderate tea fragrance. 
An outstanding plant for a yellow. 
Tall, very upright, shapely, well 
branched, vigorous plants are fully cov- 
ered with solid, dark green foliage. The 
overall appearance of Golden Girl is ex- 
tremely attractive. The well-balanced 
plant, covered with lush green foliage 
and topped with the rich pure yellow 
profusion of bloom has a cool, crisp look 
at all times. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1912.

Tropicana 
>») Known and loved the world over for its bright, intense, ‘‘fluores- 
488° cent’’ orange-red color and for its exceptional qualities as a cut rose. 
Appropriately named ‘‘Super Star’’ in Europe. Tropicana is a bright, 
intense orange-red, not deep but with a luminous quality to the petals 
that makes it come alive. This superb color holds exceptionally well, 
even in the hottest sun and when cut and brought indoors. Buds are 
exquisite and prized by flower arrangers. Blooms are double, medium 
large—4% to 5 inches—elegantly formed and with good, strong fra- 
grance. Tropicana is truly a classic. 
Tall and bushy, well shaped plants are covered with shiny green 
disease resistant foliage and are decorative in their own right. Easy to 
grow for it is thrifty, hardy and it brings good quantities of vibrant bloom 
all season. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 1969.
