{left) Hybrid Tea. (The 

 of House Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 7192. One of the most rewarding roses you 

 can have. Confidence is noted for its large 

 blooms and excellent form. The lovely color 

 is an intricate blend of pastel peach tones . . . 

 bright light yellow at the base of the petals 

 with a delicate shading of shrimp pink at the 

 petal edges, many times separated with a splash 

 of luminous off-white. The long, streamlined 

 buds open to high-centered, 5 inch blooms of 

 exhibition quality. Confidence has a good 

 sound plant, upright, bushy and solidly 

 branched ... a rose good enough to win the 

 coveted "Most Beautiful Rose of France" 

 award. This is one of those roses that has kept 

 its popularity for many years . . . proven 

 testimony to its ability to satisfy in every way. 

 Why not order several?

 2278. Candy Stripe is a deep, dusky-pink with 

 stripes and streaks at random in off-white and 

 light pink running through the inside of the 

 petals. The solid, but well pointed buds open 

 to 6 inch blooms containing 60 to 65 gaily 

 striped petals. The plant is quite tall, strongly 

 upright and has fine growing strength. The 

 foliage is a very striking, mediuin green and 

 covers the sturdy canes right up to the base of 

 the flowers . . . this sport of Pink Peace has 

 a different kind of beauty you'll enjoy.

 ''^^ Plant Pat. 1176. Here is a rose 

 /^fev famous for its exciting coppery red bril- 

 "^^ liance of bud and bloom. Mojave is the 

 rose needed to give a "lift" to an otherwise drab 

 spot in your garden. The graceful flaming buds 

 are quite long, more urn-shaped than pointed 

 — an exceptionally fine classic bud. The high- 

 centered, richly scented blooms are of good 

 substance, measuring 4 to 43^ inches across. 

 The plant is tall, vigorous, upright and free- 

 blooming. Foliage is attractive and large, 

 forest-green in color. Truly a beautiful rose, 

 worth having in your garden.

Why We Can Make 



Our "Star Rose 



Guarantee" 



f^l If you've read our Star Rose 

 "unconditional guarantee" 

 (found on pages 1 1 , 24 and 27) 

 you know that it is an excep- 

 tional one. We can make this 

 guarantee only because of the 

 quality of our roses. Quality control is the most 

 important factor in our rose growing operation. 

 It begins with the soil preparation and modern 

 contour farming and continues through select 

 understock, expert budding, continuous culti- 

 vation and spray programs, rigid grading, and 

 the finest packaging and shipping methods 

 possible. Without a top quality plant to back- 

 up our guarantee, we could not remain in 

 business and we've been selling roses by mail 

 since 1897.
