CRIMSON DUKE 



Hybrid Tea. (Camprubi.) Plant Pat. 



2055. This is one of the best all-round 

 white roses of today. The blooms are quite unique, 

 but the cool crisp beauty of this lovely rose is 

 difficult to capture in an illustration. Buds are 

 medium long and pointed, opening to flowers of 

 moderate size with extra fullness (55 to 65 petaled). 

 The center is beautifully furled and holds this 

 form. The soft satiny white color is warmed by 

 primrose-yellow tints at the base of the petals. 

 With excellent substance, a classic air and the 

 ability to stand unfavorable weather without 

 balling ... an unusual and highly regarded feat 

 for a white rose. A steady producer until late 

 fall — vigorous, broad but upright in growth, with 

 healthy foliage of a medium green. 

 $3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



GARDEN STATE 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meil- 

 land.) Plant Pat. 2348. Judging by 

 the enthusiastic response to good new red roses, it is im- 

 possible to have too many of them. This one comes from 

 the famed Meilland Family of France. The flower is a 

 true crimson-red — the color even and solid, with no other 

 tones or shading. Buds are of average size. They open 

 slowly to 33^ to 4-inch blooms, very full and substantial, 

 which make an impressive picture. The 30 or more petals 

 flare out gracefully in striking fashion, eventually assuming a 

 cupped shape. Strong stems bear the flowers above a very 

 fine plant that is rather tall for a Hybrid Tea. The large, 

 dark green foliage is plentiful and healthy and adds its 

 share to the overall charm of this colorful rose. A light but 

 distinctive tea fragrance is noticeable. Most of the blooms 

 appear in nice clusters, suggesting a location where Crimson 

 Duke will be used primarily as a show-off in the garden. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



SINCERA 



Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 2349. This inviting, deep cool 

 pink color keeps its freshness even on the hottest days. The 

 beauty of deep pink or light red buds opening to an appeal- 

 ing pink is further enhanced because Garden State grows 

 tall enough to show them off. The bud bursts into a large, 

 solid bloom with light tea fragrance. The 35 to 45 big 

 petals of firm texture are a slightly deeper shade of pink on 

 the reverse than on the face. Very strong, thick canes carry 

 the blooms, usually one to the long stem, but sometimes in 

 candelabras of several. The foliage of this beautiful Grandi- 

 flora is especially good — sure to attract favorable notice. 

 In its first stage it is bronzy red but as it grows it covers the 

 tall bush with a lush deep glossy green mantle that is very 

 thick and luxuriant. Another outstanding rose from the 

 Meillands, making a place for itself in American gardens.
