SUSPENSE 
H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1944. This iridescent, highly 
colorful beauty is the most dramatic of roses. Opening from 
a solid yellow bud to a red and yellow and then a fully open 
red flower, Suspense makes use of its brilliant red petals 
with their yellow undersides to create for you a remarkable 
and exciting color effect. Enormous size and bright color 
combine to produce a garden sensation. The tall, strong, 
good-looking plant has thick canes which hold the magnifi- 
cent flowers high. There is a velvet touch to the petals— 
55 to 60 of them making up the 6-inch flower—and an im- 
pression of richness which is present also in the foliage, 
dark green and plentiful. I think of Suspense as a man’s 
rose . . . ruggedly handsome—bold . . . which is, perhaps, 
why the ladies like it, too. In both house and garden, Sus- 
pense is “something to talk about!’ $3 ea.; 3 or more, 
$2.65 ea.

KING’S RANSOM 
H.T. Plant Pat. 2103. All-America for 1962, 
* this flashing yellow beauty is the kind of rose 
that shines like a beacon, catching and holding the eye. 
It’s big in bud and bloom—5 to 6 inches across—and 
solid gold in color and character. Flowers are high- 
centered, big-petaled and nicely flaring 
—heautiful! Strong stems present 
them in rich clusters—a lavish display 
of brightness. The bush is tall 
and attractively foliaged. Its 
shiny green leaves are orna- 
mental and plentiful. Another 
asset of King’s Ransom is that 
it is vigorously free-blooming, 
providing the fine flowers steadily and 
generously. Only one thing more must be 
said ... King’s Ransom pleases one’s 
sense of smell as well as of sight . . . its fragrance is 
very pleasant. $3.50 ea.; 3 or more, $3.10 ea.

WHITE KNIGHT 
H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1359. Just to say that 
White Knight was the All-America winner in 1958 
is to “speak volumes’’ for it. To add that it is the only white 
Hybrid Tea rose with All-America distinction is a post- 
script that gives even more weight to the meaning. Its 
qualities are numerous. . . big, beautifully formed bud and 
blossom—non-fading, pure color—satiny texture—free- 
blooming—long-lasting. The 5-inch flower is exquisitely 
made. It opens from a long bud with large petals curling 
gracefully outward. The plant bears these wonderful 
blooms continuously and in quantity, so that you have the 
choicest white roses all season long. They come on long, 
strong stems and naturally are ideal for cutting and taking 
into the house where they will last long in the vase. In fact, 
White Knight flowers last unusually long in and out of 
doors. The bush grows with fine vigor to 3 feet, has fine 
green foliage and is disease-resistant. It’s a champion all 
the way and a perfect companion for all other roses. $2.75 
ea.; 3 or more, $2.40 ea.
