 2444. An unusually beautiful two-toned deep 

 pink rose that has excellent high-centered 

 form. From the ground up, Swarthmore is 

 an exhibitor's delight. It has the longest, 

 largest bud of any rose we grow. Buds open 

 into crisp, clean blooms displaying its two 

 tones of deep, clear rose-red in a most 

 effective manner. Each bloom with 45 to 

 55 exquisitely formed petals measures up 

 to 5 inches across and is produced on tre- 

 mendously long, sturdy stems. The plant 

 is tall but well-branched, with large, ivy- 

 green foliage. Has a light, exotic fragrance.

 Plant Pat. 1469. Medium long, well-sculp- 

 tured buds of rich deep orange open to 

 beautiful blooms of slightly lighter apricot 

 tones with tints of orange and just a hint of 

 red. It is a warm, inviting rose of unusual 

 exhibition quality. The buds open to large, 

 solid blooms of 35 to 45 big, firm petals with 

 fine texture. The distinctive color remains 

 vivid throughout the life of the bloom. 

 Lady Elgin is a tall rose — strong and up- 

 right, with excellent foliage and a subtle, 

 lovely perfume.

 Here is a \ibrant, i)ig rose which produces 

 splendid gleaming golden yellow l)looms. From the tightly curled, 

 medium long l)uds. King's Ran.som's big 5 to 6-inch, fully double, 

 golden flowers show excellent form with delightful, high centers. The 

 large, shapely petals flare gracefully outward as the flower opens, 

 creating an interesting contrast of gleaming highlights and subdued 

 golden shadows. The bloom comes singly on long stems, excellent for 

 culling and arranging. The plant is medium tall and grows fairly up- 

 right wilh good, strong, heavy canes. Foliage is a good shiny green on 

 the upper sides and a satiny, darker green on the undersides. King's 

 Ran.som has a nice lingering fragrance to add to its many other good 

 qualities.
