TR A VI ATA 



H.T. (Alain Meilland) Plant Pat. 2283. This is one rose that 

 is "different" chiefly because it is one of the most unusual 

 color combinations to come along in years. Traviata is a lovely 

 variation of red and white tones. The outer edge of the petals 

 is bright red. This blends into white or light cream on the 

 inner part and at the petal bases. The same color arrangement 

 holds on the reverse side, but the tones are lighter. The result, 

 all the way from the shapely pointed bud to fully open flower, is 

 beautiful, colorful, exciting, interesting. The open bloom is not 

 as large as many others but the siiape is ideal for the 30 or more 

 petals. The distinctive form and color make the discriminating 

 rose fancier recognize Traviata as something special. The plant 

 is medium tall, producing strong canes, each holding one or 

 more flowers. The foliage is excellent and well shaped, thick 

 and medium green in color. Traviata also offers you upright, 

 shapely form in a vigorous and disease-resistant plant . . . 

 plus a very pronounced and pleasing fragrance. $2.50 ea. ; 

 3 or more, $2.20 ea. 



QUEEN ELIZABETH 



/^^ GR. (Lammerts) Plant Pat. 1259. If you were to ask 

 ^^' 10 or even 100 rose lovers to name some of their all-time 

 favorites. Queen Elizabeth, 1955 All-America winner, would 

 be included on most lists. Why? Because it is just about as 

 beautiful and wonderful as a rose can be! This 

 was the first grandiflora to win the All- 

 America award. All of America and the world 

 has agreed with the Judges. The fine pink 

 blooms are beautifully formed and come on 

 the plant in whole huge candelabras of beauty. 

 Carried on 6 to 12-inch stems, they make 

 grand cutting flowers. You will enjoy lots of 

 blooms all season long because the plant is a very vi; 

 orous grower, reaching 4 or more feet. It is loaded not 

 only with blooms but also with fine foliage. You can 

 plant this rose in back of others if you wish, because it is 

 tall enough to be seen. This is an outstanding rose. $2.75 

 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.40 ea.

SUSPENSE 



H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1944. This splendid richness of deep red and muted 

 yellow gives this bi-color rose great excitement. Suspense is a big rose. The 

 huge, yellow bud opens to exhibit the rich quality of the 55 to 60 luminous red, 

 velvety petals. In the earlier stages, both the red and the yellow can" be seen 

 together. In keeping with the generous quality of the 6-inch flower, the plant is 

 tall growing and has long, strong canes which hold the blooms high and hand- 

 some. The foliage is a good dark green, which completes the picture for a good 

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