Hybrid Tea. (McCummings.) Plant 

 Pat. 2278. This nonchalant flower 

 may remind you of a Rembrandt tulip in its teasing man- 

 ner of displaying its gay stripes. The basic rose-pink 

 color is irregularly marked with streaks of lighter pink 

 and off-white from petal base to outer edge. This gives 

 the 6-inch blooms an unique flourish that is a delightful 

 surprise. And strangely enough, the pattern of the 

 lighter streaks and flecks is not precisely repeated on 

 the underside of the petals. Each side of each petal is 

 a different design. A sport of Pink Peace, Candy Stripe 

 produces great quantities of big, colorful blooms with 

 decidedly pleasing fragrance. The plant is quite tall 

 and has fine growing ability. The foliage is medium 

 green with lighter green ribbing. Candy Stripe is 

 novel in its gay, informal colors. For a fresh new look 

 it is most pleasing ... an interesting departure from 

 the conventional.

CANDY STRIPE 



Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) 

 (/ U/Yf/dM Plant Pat. 2132. Here is a big, 

 strong, wonderful white rose . . . the first Grandiflora 

 of this color. Enormous, long-pointed, gleaming white 

 buds stand tall on their very long, strong stems. The 

 huge, high-centered, fragrant flowers are equally 

 dramatic. Their 25 to 30 broad, satiny petals curl out- 

 ward in majestic fashion. The softest lemon glow in 

 the center of the open flower relieves the sparkling 

 white. Along with the large blooms, this rose has un- 

 usually good substance, form and holding qualities. 

 The upright bloom and exceptionally long stems off"er 

 fine roses for cutting. Mount Shasta will not give you 

 an over-abundance of flowers at any one time, but 

 bloom is continuous all season long and the quality is 

 extraordinary ... a real show winner. The plant is 

 very tall and strong, with thick, grey-green foliage and 

 solid, heavy canes that hold the big blooms upright 

 under all conditions.
