SWARTHMORE 
Swarthmore 
Hybrid Tea. Known as the rose that wins the 
prizes—the exhibitor’s delight. The longest, largest 
bud of any rose we grow, opens slowly, gracefully, to 
sucha perfect sculptured form it appears to have been 
poured from a mold. Double, high centered, long last- 
ing. A blue ribbon winner all the way. 
Long, fat buds are deep, clear rose-red while open 
blooms display two tones of deep, clear rose-red. 
Each bloom has 45 to 55 exquisitely formed petals and 
measures up to 5 inches across. Blooms are produced 
on tremendous long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. 
Plants are tall and well branched with large, rich 
foliage. A light exotic fragrance is the crowning touch. 
For the exhibition table, it’s a must. (Meilland.)

Candy Stripe 
Hybrid Tea. A sport of Pink Peace, Candy Stripe produces great quantities of 
big, colorful blooms with delightful fragrance. The radiant rose-pink is irregu- 
larly streaked with lighter pink and off white from petal base to outer edge. 
Streaks on the upper side of the petal are not precisely repeated on the reverse 
and frequently there is an all pink petal. Tall and unique—for something 
completely different, Candy Stripe is an excellent choice. A charming 
novelty and delightfully perfumed. (McCummings.) Plant Pat. 2278.
