STATE 



Grandiflora. (The House 

 of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 

 2349. This inviting, deep cool pink color keeps 

 its freshness even on the hottest days. Buds are 

 deep pink or light red, opening to an appealing 

 pink, and the plant grows tall enough to show 

 them well. The 35 to 45 big petals of firm 

 texture are a slightly deeper shade of pink on 

 the reverse than on the face. The large, solid 

 bloom has light tea fragrance. Very strong, 

 thick canes carry the blooms, usually one to the 

 long stem, but sometimes in candelabras of 

 several. The foliage of this beautiful Grandi- 

 flora is especially good. In its first stage, it is 

 bronzy red but as it grows it covers the tall 

 bush with a lush deep glossy green mantle that 

 is very thick and luxuriant. Vigorous and well 

 branched. Garden State is best planted back 

 of lower growing roses where its plentiful, 

 shining foliage will act as a fine backdrop. 

 Another outstanding rose from the Meillands, 

 making a place for itself in American gardens. 

 $3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.

. LADY X 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2697. The height of 

 .sophistication! This soft, cool pink-lavender, ever so lightly brushed with 

 polished silver, is a fresh new color beautiful enough to turn your head. And even though 

 the color is so delicate, it holds well. Lady X has a high fashion air — long and slender in 

 the bud, with petal edges gently rolled outward as the flower opens. The bloom retains its 

 high center well and has plenty of petals— about 50— to give it a firm shape. Light, alluring 

 tea fragrance. A tall, shapely, well-branched plant makes this a display rose for the back 

 row of a group. The heavy, dark foliage makes an excellent contrast with the soft color of 

 the flower. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea.
