Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2855. 

 (///M'/tv/f't' Bold and sassy, Comanche is ready to grow anywhere, 

 /^fc. This excellent All-America Award winner has a great deal to 

 *©• offer. Even one bush in bloom is a striking spectacle, for the color 

 is a really smashing Indian red ... as warm as a campfire. The ovoid 

 buds are dull red when tight but as they unfurl they seem to catch on 

 fire. The face of the open flower is orange-red and the reverse a more 

 rosy red. 



The well-shaped blooms are 4 inches across and more — not enor- 

 mous, but striking nevertheless — with about 50 petals. They are 

 generally carried in a cluster of 6 to 8 as the crowning glory of the great 

 canes rising from the ground. Foliage is exceptionally dark and thick, 

 a beautiful reddish bronze in the young stage. The large leaves be- 

 come more leathery in texture as they develop. The 5-foot plant, 

 bushy and vigorous, lends itself to massing, and blooms steadily all 

 season.

 ROYAL HIGHNESS 



$9.90 



Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 

 2032. One of the nicest and most surprising 

 features of this lovely pastel rose is its strong tea rose fragrance. 

 ^ s The exquisite color is the softest baby pink, with warmer pink 

 tones showing in the heart of the flower. The bloom is extra large, with 

 40 to 45 thick, soft petals as glossy as satin. Buds are very long and 

 pointed, and as they gently unfurl the 5 to 5}^-inch blooms keep this 

 high-centered form. Even in bad weather Royal Highness will open 

 easily. It has long stiff stems that are perfect for cutting. In rose shows 

 in all parts of the country it has been a steady winner. The well- 

 rounded, upright plant is ornamental in itself, with rich dark leaves — 

 so glossy they look freshly waxed. The vigor of the plant and the size 

 and durability of the flower are far above average. 

 $3.50 ea. — 3 or more, $3.10 ea.

KING'S RANSOM 



Hybrid Tea. (Morey.) Plant 

 Pat. 2103. Splendid, gleaming 

 golden yellow blooms suggested the name for 

 1S this big lively rose. The tightly curled, medium 

 long buds develop into 5-inch, fully double, golden 

 flowers of excellent form, with full but open centers to 

 show off the rose-red stamens. The 40 to 50-petaled 

 blooms come singly on long stems, ideal for cutting 

 and arranging. The upright-growing plant is medium 

 tall, with good strong heavy canes. Its leathery leaves 

 are a shiny green on the upper side and a satiny, darker 

 shade on the underside. 



King's Ransom has a nice lingering fragrance to add 

 to its many other good qualities. Highly recommended 

 for every garden, for it always makes a wonderful ap- 

 pearance. The bright flowers decorate the plant in fine 

 style and open well even in unfavorable weather. 

 Bloom production is best in spring and fall. The extra 

 long stems will make you reach for the shears so that 

 you can bring some of the flowers indoors. King's 

 Ransom is often exhibited at rose shows where its form 

 and color combine to make it a winner. 

 $3.75 ea. — 3 or more, $3.30 ea.
