Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) 

 Plant Pat. 2574. Its un- 

 usually heavy perfume is responsible for the name of 

 this rose, a feature that all rose growers welcome. No 

 matter what the weather or time of day, Fragrant 

 Cloud sends out a true rose essence. And its color is 

 equally lovely — bright coral-red that deepens to a more 

 orange-red as the flower opens to its full width of 5 

 inches. The buds are rich dark red, becoming high- 

 pointed, double blooms of perfect form. Its fragrance 

 alone would be enough to recommend this rose, but 

 with this wonderful color and shape as well it is truly 

 outstanding. Flowers are generally carried several on a 

 long stem, and the glossy dark foliage forms a good 

 background to show them off. The plant grows quite 

 tall and very strong. An excellent rose to cut and 

 bring into the house, where it will perfume a room 

 until the petals fall. 



$4 ea. — 3 or more, $3.55 ea.

1/./J/I1 Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) 

 ''f//// Plant Pat. 2370. With a name 

 /^^^ like this, a rose has to be above the ordinary. And 

 ^^^ this superb flower and plant are living up to ex- 

 pectations. We have reached the opinion, in fact, that 

 this is the finest red rose of all time . . . and that is 

 saying a lot, because there are a number of good red 

 Hybrid Teas. These 6-inch, lively red blooms are very 

 full and purposeful-looking, coming from firm, pointed 

 buds of rich dark maroon. Buds become urn shaped 

 as the wide outer petals begin to curl back from the 

 high centers. Even on dull days when fragrance in 

 some roses is not noticeable, Mister Lincoln gives forth 

 a rich, satisfying perfume. The tall plant is sturdy and 

 heavily branched, with reddish thorns and canes. 

 Foliage, too, is reddish at first, then glossy dark green 

 as it develops. The flo^ver stems are very strong and 

 the bloom has a long life both outdoors and when cut 

 and brought inside. We are certain you will prize 

 this handsome variety when you have it for your own. 

 $3.50 ea. — 3 or more, S3. 10 ea.
