A Glorious 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 7359. The first white Hybrid Tea 

 All-America Winner ... a clean, pure white rose with curled 

 petals producing a star effect. The beautifully shaped buds open 

 to firm, satiny white blooms of medium size, coming usually singly on 

 good stems. It is an excellent rose for cutting — not so large as to be 

 overpowering when combined with other varieties in an arrangement. 

 The plant has moderate vigor and good disease resistance, and grows 

 upright to about 3 feet. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, S2.65 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2326. 



Not really "black," but these smoky maroon buds 

 are very dark indeed, with deeper shades in the depths of the open 

 bloom. Flowers are pointed at first, with 45 to 55 big velvety petals. 

 Blooms measure about 5 inches across and are delightfully fragrant. 

 Perfect form, excellent texture and good keeping qualities make this 

 a rose fit for any show table. Plants grow medium tall, with abundant 

 foliage. There are a number of fine red roses, and this is one of true 

 distinction.

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

 7//ff// 2597. Indiana is one of the brightest red roses you've 

 ever seen, with pleasant light perfume. It's a true, solid, bright 

 cardinal-red with fully double, cup-shaped blooms of excellent form 

 and profile. The large fiowers with 35 to 40 velvety petals are held 

 firmly upright on strong stems. They are set so close to the compact, 

 well-branched bush that they seem to create a floating rich tapestry 

 of green and red. The plant is of medium height but its vigor is above 

 average and bloom production is extremely good. Foliage is heavy, 

 large, deep green and plentiful. A splendid Hybrid Tea for general 

 garden use where its fine growing habit will be appreciated. 

 $3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) Plant 

 Pat. 2687. This is another of those 

 soft, changeable color combinations almost impossible to pin 

 '^^^ down on a printed page. As it opens, the bud is urn shaped with 

 sulphur-yellow at the base of the petals that gently becomes camellia- 

 rose at the petal edges. The fully open bloom is cream to light 

 canary-yellow, and as it ages, the rose color at the petal margin be- 

 comes more pronounced. The flowers are made up of about 50 to 

 60 petals and reach a diameter of 43^^ to 5 inches. The tall plant has 

 heavy canes that grow upward rather than outward, to give it a 

 compact habit. 



$3.75 ea.— 3 or more, S3. 30 ea.
