Hybrid Tea. (Nicolas.) The streamlined, perfect buds are es- 

 pecially slender and tapering, with long sepals to emphasize their 

 gracefulness in the very early stages. The color is golden yellow, becoming clear 

 chrome-yellow as the flower opens. Blooms are of medium size, with about 25 

 petals, carried on long stems. Fragrance is quite strong and pleasant. 



The plant is vigorous and inclined to be tall, producing a continuing show of 

 bloom all season. A famous old favorite that first bloomed on Eclipse Day, 

 August 31, 1932, and has since become established as a standard yellow. Cut 

 the buds soon after they start to show color so that you can admire them at 

 their best. 



$2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



ECLIPSE 



he World 



Hybrid Tea. (Maller- 

 in.) The classic ex- 

 ample of what a Hybrid Tea bud should be . . . 

 long, urn shaped, elegant. The open bloom, too, is 

 a majestic beauty of pure satiny white, 43^ inches 

 across and of superb form and style. The plant is 

 bushy but quite upright in habit, with good heavy 

 canes. Foliage is medium size, leathery, cedar- 

 green. Moderate, extremely sweet fragrance. 



One of the easiest white roses to grow, deserving 

 the honored place it has long occupied in gardens. 

 You will not be satisfied to leave it in the garden, 

 though . . . you will want to cut these fragrant, 

 snowy, graceful flowers, and the plant blooms freely 

 enough so that you can do it often. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea.

MIRANDY 



Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) Deep wine-red flowers and 

 heavenly perfume are Mirandy's claim to fame. You can 

 /^^ watch the huge ovoid buds slowly open to marvelous flowers of 50 

 ^^ or more velvety, deep crimson-red petals that have a mysterious 

 dusky shading. Blooms are both broad and deep, with a very high 

 center and rich spicy perfume . . . absolutely irresistible for cutting. 



A sturdy plant about 3 feet tall, with leathery foliage. The blooms 

 open best in hot weather, and therefore Mirandy is especially popular in 

 southern areas. At rose shows it is always a favorite. Its form, color and 

 fragrance are so special that everyone soon learns to call Mirandy by name. 

 It's true that the flowers often turn slightly bluish as they age, and this 

 may be a fault. (But at that stage we suggest a quick and decent burial.) 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (McGredy.) Through many years this rose 

 has maintained its place, in spite of the fact that numerous 

 other pink kinds have been introduced in the meantime. Its velvety clear 

 rose-pink color is one reason. Another is its dependable bloom production. 

 Flowers are of rather modest size but nicely formed and they carry a 

 light, pleasing perfume. The bush is of medium height, vigorous, with 

 strong canes and glossy, dark green leaves. 



All in all. Picture is a thoroughly useful garden rose to be planted with 

 the assurance of a good performance. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea.
