enced rose grower or a novice, you will find this a helpful guide. From 
planting, through pruning and spraying, the booklet describes and pic- 
tures the steps to success with roses ... and also gives pertinent facts 
about the growing of bulbs and perennials. Ok lahoma 
Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) You won't easily forget 
these impressive smoky wine-red blooms ... the 
darkest color we grow. Petals are so velvety you want 
to stroke them to be sure they’re real! Flowers about 5 
inches across, with 50 big dusky maroon petals, 
shaded even darker. Heavily perfumed, beautifully 
shaped, long lasting and altogether lovely. The plant 
is medium height, upright and bushy. 
A customer in New York says this is a “masculine” 
rose. We say it’s heterosexual! Plant Pat. 2326.

SUMMER SUNSHINE 
Summer Sunshine 
Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) The brightest yellow we know, like a sunburst 
of dazzling gold. Flowers of good size, with satiny smooth petals. 
High centered at first, they gradually become cup shaped. Both the 
form and the intense yellow color hold up well. 
The vigorous, semi-upright plant is stronger than many yellow 
Hybrid Teas. Moderately tall, well branched, with grey-green leaves. 
A regular bloomer until frost ...°°a truly perfect yellow rose,” as a 
New Jersey grower reports. 
If you want an extra brilliant yellow—one that flashes in the 
sun—here it is. Plant Pat. 2078. 
$3.90 ea.—3 or more, $3.60 ea. 
Scarlet Knight 
Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) A handsome tall rose 
that grows without any fuss and produces continuous rounds of 
: bloom all summer. Buds are dark crimson and flowers velvety 
scarlet-crimson with a mild tea fragrance. They are of medium size, 
full enough to make a nicely rounded silhouette, and are borne in 
fine clusters of 3 to 5. The warm color doesn’t burn and the flowers 
last a long time on the bush. Excellent for background planting. 
This is an outstanding garden plant, hardy and healthy, with big, 
vigorous canes and thick, rich green foliage. Bushy and profuse 
blooming. Plant Pat. 2692. 
$3.75 ea.—3 or more, $3.45 ea.
