WITH CHARM 



Hybrid Tea. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 2774. 

 Rated a "show rose" — and definitely a 

 marvelous winner in any garden as well. As you can 

 easily see, these are exquisitely shaped flowers almost 

 too perfect to believe. They are a living demonstration of 

 what is meant by an "exhibition" bloom. And yet they 

 appear on a fine garden plant that needs no more than 

 ordinary care. 



The rich pink color is lighter on the inside of the flower 

 and close to a light red on the outside. Satiny petals, alto- 

 gether lovely, roll back from the spiraled center. Large, 

 magnificent buds and flowers up to 5 inches across. Need- 

 less to say, First Prize is perfect for cutting. It lasts well and 

 never turns an unpleasant color. Medium height, strong and 

 upright. Starts to bloom early and repeats until frost. 

 $4.50 ea. — 3 or more, $4.10 ea. 



GAMELOT 



Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) 

 Plant Pat. 2371. This luminous 

 coral-pink rose has a special shimmering 

 beauty of its own. The soft but lively coral- 

 pink color is light and glowing, with a little patch 

 of white at the base of the petals to give the center 

 of the flower a pleasant touch. These are good- 

 sized flowers with rich spicy scent. They have the 

 popular high pointed center at first, and become 

 more cupped as they open. Usually three or more 

 flowers are carried on one strong stem. They last 

 well, and the plant bears them repeatedly. 



The more you see of Camelot, the better you 

 will like it. It grows tall and quite broad as well, 

 and is covered with shining, dark green leaves of 

 extra large size. This is a splendid kind to plant 

 alongside such Grandifloras as Golden Girl and 

 Starburst. A foolproof rose that will grow any- 

 where for anybody. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea. 



Grandiflora. (The House 

 of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 

 2692. If you're looking for a fine strong gar- 

 den rose with a will to grow, here it is. These 

 are dark red blooms, very velvety and nicely 

 formed, usually carried in a cluster of three to five. 

 They are not exceptionally large but buds are of 

 tapering form and flowers have a neatly rounded 

 silhouette. The color is a rich deep scarlet-crimson 

 — very dark in the bud and becoming bright 

 scarlet as the flower opens. This color holds true 

 without fading or turning blue. Good stems bear 

 the mildly tea-scented flowers. Big vigorous canes 

 over 3 feet tall spring from the ground, quickly 

 producing a fine head of bloom. 



A decided addition for outdoor decoration.

 'farm' turned out to be most enjoyable. The 

 gentleman in the store who helped us select a pair 

 of new roses was most helpful, the neatness of 

 your grounds, the beautiful rose beds so well 

 kept and named, the lunch tables inviting rest 

 and relaxation, and the openness and clean 

 atmosphere added up to a most beneficial day."
