3F STAR 8 ROSES 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 V Pat. 2444. This handsome two-toned deep 

 pink rose is a delight. It has the longest, largest bud of any rose 

 we grow, and enormous staying power. The flower opens crisp 

 and clean, showing two tones of smooth, deep clear rose-red. 

 Each bloom measures up to 5 inches across, with a peaked center 

 that never opens out flat. Long sturdy stems and a light touch of 

 perfume. A fine cutting rose lasting for days. A tall, upright 

 grower, bushy and well proportioned. Large, leathery, ivy-green 

 foliage covers the long canes completely. 



This is a very fast grower that will start showing its buds early 

 in the season and remain a favorite until frost. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2326. 



Not really "black," but these smoky maroon 

 buds are very dark indeed, with deeper shades in the depths of the 

 open bloom. Flowers are pointed at first, with 45 to 55 big petals, 

 so velvety they must be seen to be believed. Blooms measure about 

 5 inches across and have a delightful heady fragrance. Perfect 

 form, excellent texture and good keeping qualities. Plants grow 

 medium tall, with plentiful foliage and cutting stems strong 

 enough to hold the flowers proudly erect. 



There are a number of fine red roses, and this is one of true 

 distinction . . . just about as close to a black rose as you can find. 

 $3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea.

Grandiflora. (Lammerts.) Plant Pat. 

 'ft U l 't '£(1 ''t/OI/fl> 1259 . Visitors always comment on this 

 marvelous plant. Not only does it stand head and shoulders 

 higher than almost all its neighbors, but the blooming habit 

 is unusually good too. The lovely pink flowers arc light in tone, 

 with an informal and artless look, and yet the overall picture of a 

 plant in bloom is extremely regal and even commanding. Buds 

 come both singly and several on a stem. Flowers are not unusually 

 large but are borne profusely and in steady succession all summer. 

 Cupped in shape and slightly ruffled, either one bloom or a cluster 

 is a real treat. This tall plant has the admirable habit of pushing 

 its canes upward, to form a strong green pillar with abundant 

 thick leaves. Hardy, healthy and long lived. 

 $3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea.
