%*% LADY ELGIN. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1469. Like a sunburst, 
this brilliant beauty is a real dazzler, its red-gold coloring drawing your 
eye and compelling you to gaze in wonder. Its rich apricot and orange 
a blooms—so huge and handsome—are made up of from 35 to 48 large, 
— — firm petals and they come on long stems like bright torches. They seem 
*LADY ELGIN to glint in the sun. The brightness of Lady Elgin remains so, refusing 
to tarnish and giving you its full beauty throughout its life. Both bud 
and bloom are admirably formed. The sturdy character of the bush is, 
you might say, almost Amazonian, for Lady Elgin grows tall, beautifully 
upright and with fine vigor. It decks itself with lustrous, green foliage, 
enriching the total effect and adding to your pleasure. If all this is not 
enough to picture perfection for you in a rose, the quality of Lady 
Elgin’s fragrance should do so. This is pleasing—not overpowering, 
but pleasing. Fifth Avenue quality, not dime store. $2.50 ea.; 3 or 
more, $2.20 ea.

* BLANCHE MALLERIN. H.T. (Mallerin.) Plant Pat. 594. 
Noted for long, shapely buds and substantial blooms, this fine 
white rose has a long record of giving satisfaction. The 35 to 40- 
petaled flower is beautifully high centered, opening in the most 
graceful manner. Coming profusely on the bush and one to the 
stem, these blooms provide wonderful bouquets right there in 
the garden, and, of course, for the house, too. They are nicely 
perfumed, making an otherwise fine white rose better still. The 
vigorous plant grows in fine, upright fashion to middle height. 
A rose garden is not quite as good as it can be if it has no white 
rose to serve as a foil and contrast for the other colors. Blanche 
Mallerin fills that need perfectly. It would be difficult to find 
a better one at the price. $2 ea.; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.
