{below) Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 2349. This rose has an inviting, deep, cool-pink 

 color which keeps its crisp freshness even on the hottest days. The beauty of 

 deep pink or light red buds opening to an appealing deep, cool-pink is further 

 enhanced because Garden State is so conveniently tall, to show them off. 

 The bud is classic and opens well, bursting into a large, solid bloom with 35 

 to 45 big petals of firm texture. The color, form, and strong stems make this 

 rose ideal for cutting, arrangements, or exhibiting. Very strong, thick canes 

 carry the blooms usually one to the long stem, but sometimes in candelabras 

 of several. Foliage is deep, glossy green, very thick and luxuriant. Fragrance 

 is a light tea. Garden State should be planted in the "back row," however, 

 where its impressive stature will not be lost. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



No other flowering 

 plant gives more 

 bloom than the rose 



Compare the rose with its 

 continuous blooming season of 

 4 to 6 months, even 10 months 

 in the deep South, with any 

 other flowering plant in your garden — 

 Tulips, Lilacs, Azaleas, Mums, Dahlias, 

 etc. Do this and you can readily see why 

 the rose is so popular; why so many people 

 add more plants to their rose garden each 

 year.
