* ROYAL VELVET. a bed be 
(Meilland.) Plant Pat. App. For. 
The brilliant ruby-red beauty of 
this whopping newcomer is eye- 
popping. The blooms are enor- 
mous—heay y—solid—and every 
inch of them seems to be made 
of rich red velvet. Row on row 
of thick petals, from 55 to 65 of 
them, form the magnificent, 
massive flower whose color holds 
richly red throughout its life. 
In fact, this color does not “* blue” 
or fade as the season progresses, 
as does that of some red roses. 
If this rose has a fault, it is its 
generosity—the flower being so 
substantial that it tends some- 
times, especially when wet with 
rain, to bend forward a little. On 
the other hand, this lets you see 
the full glory of the bloom almost 
‘ head on! Royal Velvet is tall, 
has strong canes and very good 
foliage. It grows vigorously and 
bears the splendid blossoms 
freely. You'll find a good deal 
of garden pleasure in this red, 
red beauty. $2.50 ea.; 3 or 
more, $2.20 ea.
