I'M^/tm Hybrid Tea. (Morey.) Plant Pat. 

 /fejc//// 2103. Splendid, gleaming golden 



i^ yellow blooms suggested the name for this big lively 

 rose. The tightly curled, medium long buds develop 

 into 5-inch, fully double, golden flowers that show excellent 

 form with delightful high centers. The 40 to 50-petaled 

 blooms come singly on long stems, perfect for cutting and 

 arranging. The plant is medium tall and grows fairly up- 

 right with good, strong, heavy canes. Foliage is a shiny 

 green on the upper sides and a satiny, darker green on the 

 undersides. King's Ransom has a nice lingering fragrance. 

 Highly recommended for every garden, for it keeps blooin- 

 ing all through the season and always makes a fine showing.

KING'S RANSOM 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 2597. Indiana is one of the brightest red 

 roses you've ever seen, with pleasant light perfume. It's 

 a true, solid, bright cardinal-red that's sure to please. The 

 buds open to fully double, cup-shaped blooms of excellent 

 form and profile. The large flowers of 35 to 40 velvety 

 petals are held firmly upright on strong stems of medium 

 length. They are set so close to the compact, well-branched 

 bush that they seem to create a floating rich tapestry of 

 green and red. The plant grows to moderate 

 Hybrid Tea height but its vigor is above aver- 

 age and bloom production is extremely good. 

 The foliage is heavy, large, deep green and 

 plentiful. A cheerful red rose that should find 

 its way to many hearts. Chosen to celebrate 

 the sesquicentennial of the State of Indiana but sure to 

 win kudos in many other states too. 



$2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



"The suburb in which I live is a residential village. It is 

 amazing that practically every family here, either hires some- 

 one to mow the lawn or has a riding mower. Except for my 

 family and very few others, gardening is done with hired 

 labor. When it is too cold to work in the garden I walk }/2 

 mile to the commuter train station and walk home in the 

 evening. When people stop and ask me to ride they think I 

 need a psychiatrist when I say I am walking for exercise. 

 The difference between my physical figure and that of my 

 non-gardening friends is so great that I wonder why they 



do not think of it and try gardening."

{not illustrated) Grandi- 

 flora. (Swim & Arm- 

 _ itrong.y Plant Pat. 2829. A very dainty 

 ^^ and appealing Grandiflora — out-stand- 

 ing for its lovely pink color, for the 

 unusual vigor of the rounded, beautifully 

 foliaged plant, and for its great quantities of 

 bloom. The urn-shaped bud is larger than 

 average and the double flower is made up of 

 25 to 30 large petals. The flower is almost 

 a bicolor — light clear pink on the face of the 

 petal and deeper, reddish pink on the re- 

 verse. Fragrance is light and pleasing. 

 Blooms are borne most often in clusters on 

 strong stems that are fine for cutting. And 

 because the form and color are so good, you 

 will want to cut this rose often for the house. 

 Free blooming, tall and vigorous, the plant 

 is well proportioned, with good thick foliage 

 of light to medium green. Plant this 1967 

 All- America Winner . . . you will like it.
