 Lady X is an excilins^ new coIcm- in roses a soft, cool pink- 

 huender, ever so li^hlly brushed with polished silver. It's 

 a refreshing color that's hard to describe, but quick to 

 catch and please the eye. Thous^h delicately l)eautifuh 

 the color holds well, inakino; Lady X a fine cutting rose. 

 The "high-fashion" stylish bud is long and slender, open- 

 ing slowly into a double, high-centered bloom made more 

 attractive as the petal edges roll outward in scroll-like 

 fashion. The long-lasting flowers are of good sui)slance, 

 medium large in size and held on tali graceful stems. A 

 c|uite tall, well-ijranched, \igorous phini makes Lady X 

 a '"jjack-row" display rose. Thorns are scarce, and heavy 

 green foliage is perfect for the height of the rose and com- 

 plements its lovely color. Lady X is truly aristocratic as 

 any great lady must i)e, and a light alluring fragrance 

 identifies her as a woman of exquisite taste. ■

 (/(/f/^' Plant Pat. 2370. We believe this to 

 be the hnest red rose of all time. Strong, \ibrant and 

 beautiful, Mister Lincoln produces masses of deep, 

 velvety-red blooms, 6 inches wide, that stand tall on the 

 plant and are very pleasing. The bud is long, full and well- 

 pointed, becoming urn-shaped as the petals begin to curl 

 back from their high centers. The flowers are ideal for 

 cutting — long-stemmed beauties that hold their form and 

 color well and look especially brilliant in a bouquet even 

 under artificial lighting. With heavy, well-branched, 

 long canes, Mister Lincoln, used as a plant standing alone 

 or placed in the "back row," lifts your garden to new 

 heights of beauty. Large, glossy, dark green leaves are 

 tailor-made for this \ery vigorous plant.
