Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 2692. This bold, prancing rose 

 pulls all eyes in its direction. Each separate flower is big 

 and bright, and it is usual for a stem to carry several of these 

 beauties. Buds are deep red, of nice tapering form, with velvety 

 petals. As the bloom opens, it becomes bright scarlet and this 

 vibrant color holds without fading. The big, vigorous canes are 

 covered with thick, rich green leaves that frame the blooms to 

 perfection. Good stems bear the 43/2-irich, mildly scented flowers, 

 and bloom production holds up well all season. Fine to cut and 

 bring in the house, and free enough with its blooms so that you 

 can cut it freely. Average height, vigorous and upright. The first 

 true scarlet-crimson Grandiflora to win the All-America Award 

 and one that we are proud to recommend for any garden. 

 $3.75 ea. — 3 or more, $3.30 ea.

Grandiflora. (Lammcrts.) Plant Pat. 

 1259. To call this an outstanding rose is 

 /^^ an understatement, for it truly dominates the scene. The 

 *^^ lovely pink flowers are always light in tone, with an informal 

 and innocent 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 arc not unusually large but are borne 

 profusely and in steady succession all summer long. Cupped in 

 shape and slightly ruffled, either one bloom or a cluster is a real 

 delight. This tall plant has the unique and admirable habit of push- 

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

 thick leaves. Hardy, healthy and long lived. Cut the blooms if you 

 must — and you will want to — but the flower-decked plant is such an 

 attraction in the garden that you may prefer to leave it alone. The 

 first and still the finest Grandiflora. Year after year it keeps its 

 popularity, for roses like this one are hard to equal. 

 $3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.
