tj'jr-j/t/j Hybrid Tea. (The House of 

 '(7/C/f/// Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2859. A 

 splendid new rose with real color and character. 

 The vibrant, velvety dark red is apparent in the 

 large, well-pointed bud — and as the big double 

 flower opens, the color becomes even brighter 

 and more glowing. The upper side of the petals 

 shows luminous orange tones, while the under- 

 side keeps the dark red in contrast. Stems are 

 very strong, and flowers have well-placed, broad 

 petals of great lasting ability, which makes them 

 ideal for cutting. They are ruffled at the edge, 

 showing a very pretty cluster of stamens when 

 the heavy-textured bloom reaches its full size. 

 The plant presents a fine strong appearance. It 

 is an upright grower, medium size to tall. The 

 leathery, dark green leaves of thick texture are 

 bronzy when young. Pharaoh has already won 

 three gold medals — in Spain, Switzerland and 

 Holland — and we predict it will be a prizewinner 

 in this country too.

PHARAOH 



Grandiflora. (The House of 

 Meilland.) Plant Pat. App. 

 For. Just to look at this exuberant rose is enough 

 to lift your spirits. It fairly springs with life and 

 gaiety, and because of this quality the name .Star- 

 burst is particularly appropriate. This is a definite 

 bicolor. Petals are yellow at the base, blending 

 into soft orange-yellow at the edge. On the inner 

 surface the color is bright orange-red. Buds are of 

 short pointed form, nicely furled when opening. 

 They have 35 petals arranged into a ruffled cup 

 form as the bloom reaches its full size. An indi- 

 vidual flower is of medium size and maximum 

 brightness, and a cluster is a gay bouquet in 

 itself. Good stems bear the blooms in clusters and 

 also singly, in true Grandiflora style. Fine as cut 

 flowers. Fragrance is light and pleasant. 



The foliage is unusually bronzy at first, later 

 becoming a medium green color, crisp and glisten- 

 ing. The leaves stand out well from the vigorous 

 canes and provide a thick covering for the bushy 

 plant. Starburst is of medium height and will fit 

 easily into any planting scheme. Plant it this 

 season and see how great it is.
