Ww HU Vl 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 en- 
hanced 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 a deep, glossy green, very thick and luxurious. Fra- 
grance is a light tea. Garden State should be planted in the “‘back row,” 
however, where its impressive stature will not be lost.

No Other Flowering Plant Gives 
More Bloom Than The Rose 
Compare the rose, with its blooming 
season of 4, 5, even 10 months in the 
South, of continuous bloom, with any 
oiher 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 gar- 
den each year.
