CHARLOTTE ARMSTRONG. Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) Some- 

 times called the "First Lady" of Hybrid Teas, not only be- 

 cause of its great combination of good points but also because 

 it has so many wonderful offspring. These strikingly beautiful 

 buds are intense carmine-red, with an underglow of flame. Long 

 and elegant, they open to 4 to 5-inch flowers of bright rose-red, 

 high centered and waxy petaled. Stems are medium to long. 

 The plant is tall — up to 5 feet — and is covered with disease- 

 resistant foliage. 



$2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



CONDESA BE SASTAGO. Hybrid Tea. (Dot.) A distinct bi- 

 color of yellow and rose-scarlet. Always bright and gay, with 

 heavy perfume in addition to its exciting colors. Oval buds and 

 very full blooms on good stiff stems. Medium height, vigorous and 

 free blooming. When we introduced this rose (almost 40 years ago) 

 it roused great enthusiasm because of its bicolor effect and strong 

 plant. It still has these features to recommend it, but for a newer 

 rose of similar colors and better size, may we point out Colorama 

 (see it on page 8).

CONFIDENCE. Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 1192. Lovely form and mouth-watering color — an intricate 

 blending of pastel peach tones . . . bright, light yellow at the 

 petal base, with a delicate shading of shrimp-pink at the petal 

 edges, many times separated with a splash of luminous off-white. 

 The long, streamlined buds open to graceful, high-pointed blooms 

 that reach a width of 5 inches. They are extra soft and lovely in 

 color, and have pleasing perfume too. A good sound plant, up- 

 right, bushy, with dark leathery leaves. A fine producer. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



GARDEN PARTY. Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 1874. A 

 /^jfcv soft, delicate combination of rich ivory in the center of the 

 ^w* bloom giving way to creamy tones, with a light flush of 

 appleblossom-pink that steals over the flower. In spite of these 

 melting colors Garden Party is a bold, dramatic rose with 25 to 

 30 large flaring petals that you think of as almost white. Bloom 

 is plentiful and continuous. Stiff stems and lasting ability make 

 this a perfect cutting rose. The plant is tall, very strong and well 

 branched. Distinctive foliage, reddish underneath and with 

 noticeable red veins. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea. 



HELEN TRAUBEL. Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) An exquisite blend- 

 ing of apricot and shell-pink. The long bud unfurls its 25 to 

 30 broad, clean petals to a high-centered flower that reaches 

 a full 6 inches. Rich spicy fragrance and long slender stems. A 

 tall broad plant, blooming steadily all season. Perfect to cut, es- 

 pecially in the bud stage. And the more flowers you cut, the more 

 it seems to produce. Although the flower tends to be a little loose 

 when fully open, the plant blooms so freely that Helen Traubel 

 earns a place in most rose gardens. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



INDIANA. Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 

 2597. Splendid for general garden use. A true, solid, bright 

 cardinal-red with pleasant light perfume, and plants are seldom 

 without color even during sultry weather. Fully double, cup- 

 shaped blooms of excellent form and profile. The large flowers 

 of 35 to 40 velvety petals are held firmly upright on strong stems 

 and are set close to the compact, well-branched bush. Average 

 Hybrid Tea height, but its vigor is above average and bloom pro- 

 duction is extremely good. The foliage is heavy, large, deep green 

 and plentiful. 



$3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



MONTEZUMA. Grandiflora. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 1383. A bril- 

 liant rosy salmon color that holds well. Over all is a creamy sheen, 

 extremely smooth and melting. The bud is rather short, but 

 shapely. Blooms are high centered, composed of 40 petals, and 

 are borne on medium long, strong stems. The medium sized foli- 

 age is a semi-glossy light green. This is a tall rose, growing up to 

 5 feet; it is bushy and well branched, and needs ample growing 

 space. It will pay its way many times over. 

 $3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea. 



POLYNESIAN SUNSET. Hybrid Tea. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 

 2530. Coral-orange, with a warm, iridescent glow that lights up 

 the bloom. A rose that will appeal to those who want large flower 

 size and brilliant color above all else. Exquisite buds and huge 

 6j^-inch flowers, fully double but with an open center. Tips of 

 the petals are gracefully waved and there is a touch of yellow at 

 the base. Both the color and the flower form hold well. A heady, 

 fruity scent suggests the tropics. Reddish foliage turns glossy dark 

 green as it matures. Hardy and vigorous. 

 $3.75 ea. — 3 or more, $3.30 ea. 



PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER. Hybrid Tea. (Coddington.) 

 A very pretty blending of scarlet, yellow, cerise and flame. Beau- 

 tiful long pointed buds open into large blooms with spicy fragrance. 

 Makes a very pleasing cut flower. Tall, sturdy, upright plant with 

 excellent foliage. Flower stems are very long and bloom produc- 

 tion holds up well all through the summer, with one set of buds 

 steadily following another. Now 40 years old but still going strong. 

 Newer roses offer similar color blendings but Hoover stays on our 

 list because we still consider it a worthwhile plant. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



SOEUR THERESE. Hybrid Tea. (Gillot.) Another "old-timer" 

 that brings pleasant memories stretching back over 40 years, when 

 we first introduced this French rose (call it Sister Therese, if you 

 like). Beautiful buttercup-yellow in color, with fine buds for 

 cutting. Large, double blooms of good shape and substance, with 

 light fragrance. Gives lots of bloom. Very sturdy plant of medium 

 height, hardy and undemanding in any climate. Known and 

 loved for years because of its reliability. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



TALISMAN. Hybrid Tea. (Howard.) The rose that made 

 history — created a sensation when it first came out because it was 

 the first breakthrough in multicolors, an orange and rose combina- 

 tion. Blooms are of medium size, double, with pleasant perfume. 

 At its best in spring and fall. Takes a rest in the summer. Fairly 

 tall, with long stems. Light green, leathery foliage. There are 

 many better roses than this, but if, for sentiment's sake, you must 

 have Talisman — here it is. 



$2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea.
