LADY X 



NEW. Hybrid Tea. (The House of 

 (IfJff/f// n//irf Meilland.) Plant Pal. App. For. An 

 exciting new yellow rose, crisp and sparkling. Golden Prince 

 is exactly the right name, for it has all the qualities necessary 

 to make it a royal introduction, sure of a royal reception. 

 Buds are long and shapely, becoming 5-inch flowers of 

 inviting, full-hearted form with light scent. In the opening 

 stage they are brushed with glowing orange but when fully 

 open are deep bright gold. The open bloom is fully double, 

 with 25 to 45 firm-textured petals holding their color until 

 they fall. Usually flowers are carried one to a stem, and 

 always in good quantity all during the blooming season. 

 The bush grows to moderate height, well branched and 

 with strong canes. Foliage is thick and plentiful, of waxy 

 deep glossy green that fairly shines. 



$3.50 ea. — 3 or more, $3.10 ea.

{not illustrated) Hybrid Tea. (The House of 

 Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2693. From the first 

 time we saw it in our test block, this rose has been known 

 as Big Red because it is just that — big, bold, red-red . . . 

 beautiful. The dramatic, velvet-red blooms are oversize, 

 not only in diameter but in depth as well. In fact, it's the 

 largest red rose we know. Buds are robust, full and well 

 pointed, opening into fully double, high-centered blooms. 

 Petals are unusually large, curling slightly in classic rose 

 form to produce an exceptionally firm bloom for so large a 

 flower. Tall and upright, but somewhat spreading.

NEW. Hybrid Tea. (The House of 

 Meilland.) Plant Pat. App. For. This bright 

 gay new rose tosses caution to the winds and flaunts its 

 kaleidoscope of colors for all to see. Buds are decidedly 

 two-tone — soft yellow flushed salmon-pink and showing 

 the carmine-red of the inner side as the petals roll open. A 

 bright splash of yellow spreads over the red at the center of 

 the flower. Well-pointed buds become 4 to 5-inch flowers 

 of excellent quality. They have 40 to 50 petals, nicely 

 cupped at maturity. A wonderful, free-blooming, very 

 vigorous rose all season. Medium to tall in growth with 

 parsley-green foliage. Light, sweet fragrance. The very 

 spirit of summertime, full of zest and life.

Hybrid Tea. (Tlie House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 2691. The height of sophisti- 

 cation! This soft, cool pink-lavender, ever so lightly 

 brushed witli polished silver, is a fresh new color 

 beautiful enough to turn your head. And even though 

 the color is so delicate, it holds well. Lady X has a 

 high fashion air — long and slender in the bud, with 

 petal edges gently rolled outward in scroll-like style 

 as the flower opens. The bloom retains its high center 

 well and has ample petals — about 50 — to give it a 

 firm shape. Light, alluring tea fragrance. A tall, 

 shapely, well-branched and vigorous plant makes 

 this a display rose for the back row of a group. The 

 lieavy, dark foliage complements the soft color. A 

 blue ribbon winner in the rose shows. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea.
