Summer Sunshine 



Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) A sunburst of dazzling gold. Flowers of 

 medium size, with about 25 satiny smooth petals. High centered 

 at first, they gradually become cup shaped. Both the form and the 

 intense yellow color hold up well. 



The vigorous, semi-upright plant is stronger than many yellow 

 Hybrid Teas. Moderately tall, well branched, with grey-green 

 leaves and reddish thorns. A regular bloomer until frost. 



If you want an extra brilliant yellow — one that flashes in the 

 sun — this is for you. Plant Pat. 2078. 

 $3.90 ea.— 3 or more, $3.60 ea. 



Christian Dior 



/M& Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) A splendid crimson- 

 *aM red flower overlaid with a scarlet sheen, so exquisitely formed 

 that it is a favorite for cutting. Blooms are above average in size, 

 with 50 to 60 neatly placed petals. Does not fade or turn blue but 

 stays a good rich red. Delicate perfume and strong stems. 



A vigorous, tall, upright bush with rich green, leathery leaves. 

 A plant to be relied on for steady, continuing bloom. Hardy and 

 healthy, it will give all-round satisfaction. Plant Pat. 1943. 

 $3.75 ea.— 3 or more, $3.45 ea. 



Tropic ana 



(®k Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Bright true orange color made this 

 **& rose an instant sensation when it first reached this country 

 from Europe. There it won top prizes under the name Super Star. 



Here, too, it has proved to be first rate — easy to grow, hardy 

 and thrifty. Stunning as a cut flower on account of its intense 

 color and beautifully formed, long, graceful buds. Flowers are 

 medium size, double and very fragrant, with a high pointed center. 



Tropicana grows quite tall and bushy and blooms well all 

 season. It lives up to its reputation as a classic. Plant Pat. 1969. 

 $3.90 ea.— 3 or more, $3.60 ea.
