{not illustrated) Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) 

 ^. . Plant Pat. 7469. Medium long, well-modeled buds of rich 



deep orange open to beautiful blooms of slightly lighter apricot tones with 

 tints of orange and just a hint of red. An inviting rose of unusual exhibition 

 quality that lends itself to floral arrangements for certain places where its 

 warm color is the final perfect touch. The buds open to large, solid blooms 

 of 35 to 45 big, firm petals with fine texture. The distinctive color remains 

 vivid throughout the life of the bloom. Lady Elgin is a tall rose — strong and 

 upright. The long, sturdy canes are thickly covered with sea-green foliage 

 which highlights the rich blooms. There is a subtle, lovely perfume, too. 



$2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea.

Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) 

 Plant Pat. 2017. A red-hot, flaming 

 rose ... a brilliant, fiery orange mixed witli vivid 

 scarlet. The tight, oval buds are rich dark red, almost 

 black, and open into very full, high-centered flowers. 

 The 35 to 40 petals form a rose of excellent substance 

 and with enough delicate curl to the petal edges to 

 add a special touch of interest. The stocky plant 

 grows to medium height, almost as broad as high. 

 Give it a little extra room to spread out and show its 

 beauty to best advantage. Foliage is especially good. 

 Its deep coppery green forms a solid massed back- 

 ground for the vivid blooms. Even one plant of 

 War Dance will make its presence known in your 

 garden; a group of two or three will be spectacular. 

 Regardless of the weather it keeps its fiery color.
