NOCTURNE 



SOME OLDER ROSES .... STILL GREAT 



/n/n/ Hybrid Tea. (Kordes.) An older 

 '(//u rose that enjoys a tremendous reputa- 

 tion, even today, for its beauty, color and heavy fragrance. 

 The lovely, velvety crimson, pointed buds open to double 

 blooms of good substance. By today's standards they are 

 not extra large, but their rich Damask fragrance has made 

 this rose a byword. Crimson Glory blooms freely and 

 continuously on a very strong but low-growing plant with 

 many branches. Excellent for the front row of a planting. 

 Foliage is large, clean dark green. 



$2 ea. — 3 or more, $1.75 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) 

 A rose whose delicately mingled, sweet 

 tones are so appealing. It offers a beautiful change of pace 

 from hot colors. A soft pearl-like sheen glows over the 

 cream-white to bittersweet-pink, making it most pleasing 

 and unusual. Blooms are of good size and are composed 

 of up to 90 petals of exceptionally smooth texture and mar- 

 velous fragrance. They hold their form well. The vigorous 

 plant has heavy canes and good large foliage. A medium 

 tall grower that will make a fine contribution to a garden.

Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) Delightful gold 

 touched with flushes of pink and ver- 

 (^fej milion and a dash of copper, with noticeable veining. 

 ■^ A lively, 4 to 5-inch rose that gleams as the sun high- 

 lights the copper and gold. The medium long bud is 

 slender and well pointed. As it gradually unfurls, the full 

 glory of the bloom is revealed. With its rich fruity fragrance 

 this is an immensely rewarding rose. The sturdy plant 

 grows to a height of about 3 feet, is bushy and free branch- 

 ing. Its large, glossy green leaves show good resistance to 

 disease. Sutter's Gold is the winner of several gold medals 

 and the Gamble Fragrance Award.

Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) The illustration 

 above shows the exquisite form of Nocturne's 

 (^^ bud, and also gives you an idea of its very deep, rich 

 ^^' red color — but what the printed page is incapable of 

 conveying is the enticing fragrance. All these qualities have 

 kept this rose on the list of favorites for years. It is known 

 and loved by gardeners everywhere and gives a good per- 

 formance even in the hottest weather. Flowers are about 

 4 inches across, with petals that flare out nicely to form a 

 fine open bloom. The deep red color is overlaid with 

 darker shadings that give the bloom an almost brooding 

 look. Rugged and quite tall, with leathery, dark leaves.
