1962 All-America 



KING'S RANSOM 



/^^ H.T. Plant Pat. 2103. Many rose growers will tell you, as 

 A^5 they have written and told us, that their favorite color for a 

 rose is yellow. And they go on to say the most wonderful things 

 about King's Ransom because it is vivid yellow at its very best — a 

 rose that finds most people at a loss for words when it comes to 

 describing its beauty. It's possible to say that this flashing yellow 

 beauty is the kind of rose that shines like a beacon, catching and 

 holding the eye. The buds are long and slender. You will find it to 

 be a big double rose when fully open — most of the flowers are 5 to 

 6 inches across. They are solid gold in color. The high-centered, 

 big-petaled blooms flare gracefully. Strong stems hold them high 

 in a lavish display of brightness. The bush is medium tall and at- 

 tractively foliaged with shiny green leaves that are ornamental and 

 plentiful. Another real asset of this handsome yellow rose is that it 

 is vigorously free-blooming, providing you with fine flowers steadily 

 and generously from the beginning to the very end of the season. 

 Important too ... its fragrance is very pleasing. $3.50 ea. ; 3 or 

 more, $3.10 ea.

CHRISTIAN DIOR 



(^ H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1943. Christian 

 A^^ Dior is an extremely fine and popular shade of 

 red, with the brilliant crimson being made enriched 

 by scarlet overtones. And the truly gorgeous color 

 is further enhanced by superb form — the buds and 

 open blooms are both perfect. In fact. Christian 

 Dior is a high-quality, exhibition type rose — a 

 flower show Blue Ribbon winner — a delight for 

 flower arrangers because its large, full flowers are 

 so dramatic in appearance. The large blooms are 

 blessed with the luxury of 50 to 60 petals, pro- 

 viding the color which is eye-filling. Returning to 

 its form, you would have a difficult time finding a 

 finer rose. The flowers are beautifully high cen- 

 tered; the petals gracefully outcurling. And the 

 blooms come individually on very long stems, ex- 

 ceptionally fine for decorating. Christian Dior 

 lasts a long, long time in the vase or on the bush, 

 and unlike many other reds this rose does not 

 fade or lose its bright beauty. Actually, it seems 

 to be even brighter in the house under artificial 

 lighting. You'll like the way it blooms abun- 

 dantly and continuously; also the way the tall, 

 vigorous plant grows in upright style. Another 

 unusual feature sure to please you is the manner 

 in which the large, copper-toned foliage provides 

 the right background to show off the bright red 

 flowers. Finally, add a nice touch of tea fragrance, 

 and you have a rose to really "set off" your garden. 

 $3 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.65 ea.
