MONTEZUMA 
GR. Plant Pat. 1383. Perhaps as much as any other, this 
rose typifies the Grandiflora with its wonderful Hybrid 
Tea-like blooms and its plentiful supply of flowers. Its 
marvelous color and form are a picture of beauty. Brilliant 
rosy salmon blooms—each a high-centered flower of 40 
petals—come on long, strong stems. The bud is a long, 
slender one—beautiful in itself. The tall plant, magnificent 
in flower and foliage, grows to from 3 to 5 feet, makes an 
impressive sight and ought to be planted where it will not 
hide other, lower-growing kinds. Montezuma features good, 
strong stems, and you can cut the blooms with real pleasure. 
Everyone I know who has Montezuma in his garden is ex- 
tremely partial to it. In particular, they all are entranced 
by its wonderful color, and, of course, by its outstanding 
form, especially in the half-open and fully open flower. 
I think that you will be also, if you like richness and high 
eye appeal in your roses. Montezuma has both. $2.75 ea.; 
3 or more, $2.40 ea.

GARDEN PARTY 
H.T. (Swim) Plant Pat. 1814. Upholding the 
tradition of its parents, Peace and Charlotte 
Armstrong, this splendid rose also captured an All- 
America award. Its big, finely sculptured blooms are a 
combination of soft pastel colors . . . rich ivory in the 
center giving way to creamy tones and finally to a flush 
of lovely appleblossom-pink. Garden Party has 25 to 30 
enormous flaring petals, and blooms come in rapid 
succession on a tall, strong, vigorous plant. Handsome 
foliage adds to the attractiveness of the bush. You'll 
be charmed comp etely by the beautiful bud and the 
full richness of the open flower. Since 1960, the year 
Garden Party won the big prize, it has become a fa- 
vorite—one that’s certain to please you. $3 ea.; 
3 or more, $2.65 ea.

LOVE SONG 
H.T. (Gladys Fisher) Plant Pat. 1360. Yellow and water- 
melon-pink as seen in the solidly substantial bud below is 
a rare combination in roses. These colors are as sharply 
delineated—yellow on the undersides, pink on the upper- 
sides—as though they had been painted there by hand. 
The bud more than lives up to its promise of the fully open 
flower, for it is then that Love Song reaches its high note. 
The open bloom is huge. I have counted more than 100 
petals. As they unfold, they reveal more and more pink, 
and the transformation from the all-yellow bud to the all- 
pink bloom is a fascinating thing to watch. The Love Song 
plant bears these fine blooms freely and one to the stem. 
It grows to middle height in good, sturdy style, and pro- 
duces excellent foliage of the waxy kind which is so attrac- 
tive. Vigor is one of its qualities also. To round out Loye 
Song’s appeal is a kind of fragrance that is easy to appreciate 
—not the strongest in the world, but a delight nonetheless. 
$2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.
