FOUR PROUD BEAUTIES 



Grandiflora. (Swim & 

 W Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2855. 

 /S^ A bright, distinctive color . . . bold and 

 A lsP sassy. The pointed buds are dull red on 

 the outside, but as they open they catch on fire. 

 The upper side of the petals is orange-red and 

 the underside a more rosy or "Indian" red. 

 Double blooms, about 4 inches across, are 

 carried like a crown at the top of great canes — 

 6 to 8 in a cluster. 



Leaves are very dark and thick, a beautiful 

 reddish bronze in the early stage, becoming 

 more leathery in texture as they grow. Tall 

 and rangy, vigorous and free blooming all 

 season. 



$3.75 ea.— 3 or more, $3.40 ea. 



'// fi/M?? H y brid Tea - ( Tne House of 

 Meilland.) Plant Pal. 1469. 

 Luscious butterscotch and apricot in a delicious 

 blend, the delight of flower arrangers. Buds 

 are a subdued orange on the outside. As they 

 slowly unfurl they show a soft orange-gold on 

 the upper side of the petals, with a hint of red. 

 Buds are well shaped and blooms are big and 

 firm, with 35 to 45 broad petals, subtly per- 

 fumed. 



The plant grows strong and upright, with 

 sea-green foliage that highlights the rich 

 blooms. Lady Elgin is perfect for cutting and 

 has won many a prize at rose shows. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



LADY ELGIN 



COMANCHE 



Hybrid Tea. (Lam- 

 merts.) Plant Pat. 2687. 

 j\ With its succession of changing colors, American 

 '*^s Heritage is fascinating to watch. It's another of 

 those soft, shifting color combinations hard to describe. 

 At various times and in different kinds of weather the 

 colors can vary considerably, but they are always 

 dainty and appealing. As it opens, the bud is urn 

 shaped, with sulphur-yellow at the base of the petals 

 that gradually becomes camellia-rose at the petal 

 edges. The fully open bloom is cream to light canary- 

 yellow, and as it ages, the rose color at the petal margin 

 deepens. Large and double, with about 50 petals. Tall. 

 $3.75 ea. — 3 or more, $3.40 ea. 



"I feel I must write you to compliment you on the won- 

 derful job you did in packing my rose order. I have never 

 seen a better packed order. The plants were in excellent 

 condition." J. B. I., New Jersey
