^a^ Hybrid Tea. (Lindquist.) Plant Pat. 

 A ^SP 3063. Loud and clear, this bright orange 

 sounds a happy note. The flowers are medium 

 size, with 50 petals that curl back intriguingly 

 at the edge. Buds are long pointed, usually 

 carried only one on a stem. The color is a 

 vivid warm orange, on the reddish side, with 

 a lighter reverse. Light to moderate fragrance. 

 The plant is tall, very strong and erect, with 

 dark leathery leaves. Big branching canes 

 produce plenty of bloom. This All-America 

 Award Winner of 1971 owes its wonderful 

 color to Tropicana, one of its parents. 

 $3.90 ea.— 3 or more, $3.60 ea. 



MISTER LINCOLN 



^gv Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant 

 ^gp Pat. 2370. This rose is blessed with an 

 honored name, and we feel rightly so. The 

 flower is a rich and lively red, the plant tall 

 and stately, the fragrance true and strong. 

 These blooms are exactly what you wish for 

 in a true red — very full and double, as much as 

 6 inches across, coming from firm pointed buds. 

 Wide petals curl back from a high center. In 

 color it's a vigorous red in the flower and rich 

 dark maroon in the bud. 



The fragrance is really something special, 

 even on murky days. The tall bush is covered 

 with glossy leaves that are reddish at first and 

 then a good dark green. Flowers are long 

 lasting, and of course wonderful for cutting. 

 We consider Mister Lincoln the greatest red rose. 

 $3.90 ea. — 3 or more, S3. 60 ea.
