WHITE KNIGHT 



Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) Plant Pat. 2755. 

 A clear phlox-pink Hybrid Tea of remark- 

 (&& ably stable color. Its bright flowers reach a diameter of 

 ^*»- s 5 inches. The graceful, urn-shaped buds, especially at- 

 tractive in the quarter-open stage, unfold gradually to 35 to 

 40-petaled blooms. These large flowers are borne freely on 

 long, sturdy stems and will enchant you with their fragrance. 



Bewitched is excellent for cutting, with its beautiful clear 

 bloom, its spicy fragrance and long stems. Bouquets of this 

 rose have been known to outlast other varieties by several days. 

 Heavy foliage, glossy and quite resistant to mildew. The plant 

 blooms freely and repeatedly all season. It deserves a promi- 

 nent place in gardens, for its good lasting color is appreciated 

 both indoors and out. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea. 



"Roses are my first garden love, for I don't know of any flower that, 

 considering the amount of time you must give it, gives so much in 

 return. The work I have to do with them never seems like work — it's 

 more of a pleasure to take care of them."

Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 1359. A clean pure white rose 

 with curled petals producing a star effect. Blooms are of 

 *■ exhibition calibre and of good lasting quality. The beau- 

 tifully shaped buds open to firm, satiny white blooms of medium 

 size, coming usually singly on good stems. It is an excellent rose 

 for cutting — not so large as to be overpowering when combined 

 with other varieties in an arrangement. The fascinating shape 

 of the flower contrasts well with roses having rounded or fluted 

 petals. White Knight's star form is quite distinctive. The plant 

 has moderate vigor and good disease resistance, and grows up- 

 right to about 3 feet. 



Bloom production may not be so prolific as you wish, but the 

 clear white color and the lovely exhibition form of the flower are 

 so admired that many growers think the intermittent blooms are 

 worth waiting for. 



$3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



This All-America Symbol (qp 



points out the roses that are winners of the 

 All-America Award. Test gardens have been 

 set up in 24 areas of the United States with 

 varying climate and growing conditions. 

 Here the new roses are grown (without name 

 or grower's identification) and rated for two years 

 by impartial judges of All-America Rose Selections. Those 

 that come up to AARS standards are given awards and 

 publicized so that you, the buyer, can see which roses are 

 likely to do best for you. 



Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 2349. An inviting, deep cool 

 pink that stays fresh looking even on the hottest days. Buds are 

 deep pink to light red, opening to an appealing pink. The 35 to 

 45 big petals of firm texture are a slightly deeper shade of pink 

 on the underside. A large, solid bloom with light tea fragrance, 

 usually carried singly on a long stem but sometimes in candela- 

 bras of several. 



The foliage of this beautiful Grandiflora is especially good. In 

 its first stage, it is bronzy red but as it grows it covers the very 

 tall bush with a lush deep glossy green mantle. Vigorous and 

 well branched, Garden State is best planted where its plentiful, 

 shining foliage will act as a fine backdrop. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea.
