"I ordered quite a few bushes last 

 fall and they arrived in excellent 

 condition. The planting instruc- 

 tions were extremely helpful to 

 someone who knew nothing about 

 the proper soil, etc. . . It's re- 

 freshing to know there still exists 

 a Company dedicated to good 

 service and integrity. I'm plan- 

 ning a 70 foot rose bed at the 

 back of my lot, and I will defi- 

 nitely be looking forward to your 

 catalog for the Fall of '72."

Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 2859. Large, commanding, well-formed 

 flowers in two shades of red — glowing scarlet 

 on the upper side and dark maroon on the 

 reverse of the petals. Well-pointed buds and 

 good stiff stems that are superb for cutting. 

 Petals are broad, firm and somewhat ruffled. 

 One customer wrote us: "I think this is one 

 of the best new varieties introduced in recent 

 years. It has a truly unique color and lasts 

 longer than any other rose in my garden." 

 When cut and brought indoors too, the 

 blooms last several days. Medium tall. 

 $4 ea. — 3 or more, $3.65 ea. 



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

 ^®. s Pat. 2032. A queenly beauty of flawless 

 form. Petals are satiny smooth, with a color 

 so soft that you stand in silent admiration . . . 

 baby pink, with deeper pink in the heart of 

 the flower. The long pointed buds open 

 slowly and impressively. Blooms are enor- 

 mous, with a perfect high center and long stiff 

 stems. 



Perfect to cut and often a winner at rose 



shows. Even in damp weather the flowers 



open easily and they stand rain unusually well.
