Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 



1028. The living, breathing personal- 

 (^^ ity of this distinctive rose is impossible to capture in 

 ^^ words. Its exquisite fusion of apricot and shell-pink 

 gives it an air quite different from any other in the garden. 

 We believe it to be one of the very best pink roses ever to 

 receive the coveted All-America Award, not only because 

 of its color and form but from an overall judgment of 

 blooms, plant, foliage, vigor and quantity of flowers. The 

 long bud unfurls its 25 to 30 broad, clean petals to a fine, 

 high-centered rose that gently expands to a full 6 inches. 

 Rich spicy fragrance and long slender stems. A tall, broad 

 plant, blooming steadily all season through . . . each 

 blooin a beauty that will delight you. Perfect to cut, of 

 course, particularly in the bud stage. And the more flowers 

 you cut, the more it seems to produce. Neither wet nor 

 hot dry weather inakes any difference. Perennially popular. 



$3.50 ea. — 3 or more, $3.10 ea.

/lHT/>i7^/'mJ) Grandiflora. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 1383. 



//fll/6U//m This fine rose typifies the true Grandi- 

 flora with its wonderful Hybrid Tea-like blooms and its 

 plentiful supply of flowers. It is a brilliant rosy salmon color 

 that holds well. Over it all is a creamy sheen, extremely 

 smooth and melting. The bud is rather short, but shapely. 

 Blooms are high centered, composed of 40 petals, and are 

 borne on medium long, strong stems. The medium sized 

 foliage is a semi-glossy light green. This is a tall rose, grow- 

 ing up to 5 feet; it is bushy and well branched, and deserves 

 ample growing space. It will pay its way many times over 

 with strong, free growth — providing many blooms for 

 beautifying the garden and for decorating indoors. You 

 won't go wrong by planting Montezuma. The winner of 

 Gold Medals in Switzerland, England and at the Inter- 

 national Rose Test Garden in Portland, Oregon.

Hybrid Tea. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 2058. 



This classic red is like a dream come true — 

 a combination of stirring color, delightful fragrance and 

 enormous size. The brilliant carmine-red grows even more 

 intense as the big blooms slowly open to their full 6-inch 

 size. And this magnificent color remains unfading until 

 the last petals drop. Petals are wide and velvety, arranged 

 in a high pointed form, with those around the outer edge 

 rolled back in a most beautiful way and framing the elegant 

 high center. The strong stems are of medium length and 

 bear the flowers both singly and several together. Growth 

 is vigorous and upright to about 3 feet, and the leathery, 

 cress-green foliage abundantly covers the plant. Bloom 

 continues all through the hottest weather, making Ameri- 

 cana a fine plant for garden decoration from June to Octo- 

 ber. This is a rose that can well be a standby, for it provides 

 the color and the perfume that are so popular.
