The Four Greatest Roses of the 



Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) 

 \/(/l'/l/ Plant Pat. 2370. Those who have 

 been growing this magnificent rose are especially 

 impressed by the wonderful shape of the flower. It's 

 as much as 6 inches across, very full and double, coming 

 from firm, pointed buds. The wide petals curl back from 

 the high center. In color it is a lively, vigorous red in the 

 flower — rich dark maroon in the bud. 



The plant grows tall and strong (like Abe himself) and 

 is covered with glossy leaves that are reddish at first and 

 then a good dark green. The thorns and canes are reddish 

 too. Stems are very straight and firm, holding the flowers 

 proudly. Whether indoors or out, the blooms have a long 

 life and never droop their heads. The fragrance of this 

 wonderful Hybrid Tea deserves special mention, for even 

 on dull days Mister Lincoln gives forth a rich, satisfying 

 perfume. 



^ Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 

 W-' 2625. Nothing shy about this American beauty! 

 It has all the poise and confidence of the shapely girls 

 who parade down the runways in beauty contests. And 

 with good reason, for these are truly gorgeous roses. The 

 color is a deep, rich pink, extremely crisp and clean and 

 glowing with vitality. Beautifully curved petals encircle 

 the high pointed center. The flowers are so big and full 

 that you wonder how a plant can produce more than 

 one or two of them. Yet this bush is covered with six 

 or eight flowers at a time, and it keeps on blooming in 

 one burst after another. Generally the flowers are borne 

 singly on long stiff stems, and of course you will want 

 to cut them. Their heavy tea perfume is delightful. 



The plant is of moderate height for a Hybrid Tea, but 

 very sturdy, with large, sage-green foliage. 

 $3.75 ea. — 3 or more, $3.30 ea.
