Hybrid Tea. (The 



House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 1359. The first white Hybrid 

 Tea All-America Winner ... a clean, 

 pure white rose with curled petals that pro- 

 duce a star effect. White Knight gives you 

 classic, exhibition type buds and blooms of 

 exceptional quality. The perfectly shaped 

 buds open to firm, satiny white blooms of 

 medium size, coming usually singly on good 

 steins. It is an excellent rose for cutting — not 

 so large as to be overpowering when com- 

 bined with other varieties in an arrangement. 

 The plant has moderate vigor and good 

 disease resistance, and grows upright to 

 about 3 feet in height. To appreciate its 

 elegance, plant White Knight in the front 

 or center of the garden.

Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 



2444. An unusually beautiful two-toned deep pink 

 rose that has outstanding, high-centered form. From the ground up, 

 Swarthmore is an exliibitor's delight. It has the longest, largest bud of 

 all the roses we grow. The bloom opens crisp and clean, displaying two 

 tones of smooth, deep clear rose-red in a most effective manner. Each 

 bloom, with 45 to 55 exquisitely formed petals, measures up to 5 inches 

 across and is produced on a long, sturdy stem. A fine cutting rose, it 

 bears its bloom freely and continuously all season long. The plant is a 

 tall, upright grower, and well branched. Large, leathery, ivy-green 

 foliage covers the long canes completely. A light touch of exotic perfume 

 is the final charming note. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.

Hybrid Tea. (R. Jelly.) Plant Pat. 2746. As 

 refreshing as a suinmer shower, this fine rose 

 always seems to sparkle, even in the hot mid-day sun. Many shades of 

 crimson and yellow are harmoniously blended into a bright, colorful 

 combination fitting any spot in the garden. As the flower ages, the 

 crimson tones pass to fuchsia-pink. Buds are urn shaped, of medium 

 size, solid and well sculptured. They are borne one to a stem. They 

 open into full, high-centered blooms of large size, with 45 to 50 satiny 

 petals of good substance. Pleasing tea fragrance. Stems are straight 

 and strong, making this an excellent cutting rose. The plant is of aver- 

 age height, well branched and well covered with medium green foliage.
