Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meil- 

 7/(/(y land.) Plant Pat. 1759. Pleasant 

 fragrance, strong stems and deep dusky pink color 

 make Pink Peace a favorite rose for cutting. And in 

 the garden the superb plant is a standout. 



Individual flowers are almost as large as those of the 

 Peace rose, and their shimmering color, firm petals 

 and lasting ability are unusually good. The color has 

 a beautiful glow that acts as a highlight. Buds are big 

 and pointed, and the fully double bloom has a high 

 peaked center surrounded by broad petals. The plant 

 is very strong and bushy — again like the Peace rose 

 but taller — with large leaves and thick flower stems. 

 It's an excellent choice for the back row of a planting 

 because of its extra size and vigor. Give it plenty of 

 room. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea.

PINK PEACE 



Roses are for you 



Today's roses are well 

 within the reach of al- 

 most everyone with a few 

 square feet of ground, 

 and they will add enor- 

 mously to your enjoyment of sum- 

 mer living. They are not touchy prima 

 donnas that need a lot of pampering . . . 

 but neither do we claim you can plant 

 them and forget them. 



Star Roses ask these few basics: five to 

 six hours of full sun per day, a garden soil 

 of average fertility, pruning and fertilizing 

 in the spring, and spraying and watering 

 in the summer. About two minutes per 

 plant per week will do it. And in return 

 you will be rewarded with dozens of beau- 

 tiful blooms over a period of many weeks, 

 year after year. You'll find that roses are 

 the most generous flowering plant you can 

 grow. 



Grandiflora. (The House of Meil- 

 (/(//(/'(///(//// land.) Plant Pat. 1912. A fine 

 yellow rose that blooms and blooms. The deep gold 

 color looks as if it had been poured down into the cen- 

 ter of the flower, to spill out over the soft ivory outer 

 petals. Long slim buds with graceful sepals are very 

 much like those of Eclipse, but the flower is larger and 

 fully double, and because it has more petals it holds 

 its shape better and lasts longer than Eclipse does. 



A happy West Virginia customer writes us: "Last 

 spring I ordered Golden Girl from you. At one time I 

 counted 40 buds and blossoms on it. As folks passed 

 by they stopped to admire the beauty of it. It was 

 truly the first rose that I ever had to be so full of buds 

 and blossoms — a great bloomer!" 

 $3.50 ea. — 3 or more, $3.10 ea.
