More Beautiful Star' 



CONFIDENCE 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 7192. With its lovely form and mouth- 

 watering color, this is one of the most delightful roses you can have 

 in your garden. The color is an intricate blending of pastel peach 

 tones . . . bright, light yellow at the base of the petals with a delicate 

 shading of shrimp-pink at the petal edges, many times separated 

 with a splash of luminous oflf-white. The long, streamlined buds 

 open to graceful high-pointed blooms that reach a width of 5 

 inches. They are extra soft and lovely in color, and have pleasing 

 perfume too. Confidence has a good sound plant, upright, bushy 

 and well covered with dark leathery foliage. We introduced this 

 French rose about 15 years ago, and it has grown in popularity 

 ever since. If you like delicate colors, you will love Confidence. 

 $3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



WAR DANCE 



Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 



2017. A red-hot, flaming rose ... a brilliant, 

 fiery orange mixed with vivid scarlet. The tight, oval buds are rich 

 dark red, almost black, and open into very full, high-centered 

 flowers. The 35 to 40 petals form a rose of excellent substance with 

 enough delicate curl to the petal edges to add a .special touch of 

 interest. The stocky plant grows to medium height and is almost 

 as broad as high. Give it a little extra room to spread out and show 

 its beauty to best advantage. Foliage is especially good. Its deep 

 coppery green forms a solid massed background for the vivid blooms. 

 Even one plant of War Dance will make its presence known in your 

 garden; a group of two or three will be spectacular. Regardless of 

 the weather the color keeps its clear pure tone. 

 $3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



AMERICANA. Hybrid Tea. (Boerner.) Plant 

 Pat. 2058. A splendid big red rose with stirring 

 color, delightful fragrance and enormous size. 

 The brilliant carmine-red grows even more 

 intense as the large flowers slowly open to the 

 full 6-inch size. Petals are wide and velvety, 

 arranged in high pointed form, with those at 

 the edge rolled back to frame the center ones. 

 Vigorous plant that blooms well, with strong 

 stems for cutting. 



$3.50 ea. — 3 or more, S3. 10 ea. 



ARLENE FRANCIS. Hybrid Tea. (Boerner.) 

 Plant Pat. 1684. Delicate, refined fragrance is 

 one of the many good points about this yellow 

 rose. The perfume becomes richer as the 

 flowers develop. Graceful buds of rich golden 

 yellow and 5-inch blooms with satiny petals. 

 Little affected by bad weather. Glossy dark 

 leaves. A good stable yellow, free blooming 

 and vigorous, to be used as a garden mainstay.

 they open to 4 to 5-inch blooms of bright rose- 

 red with high centers and waxy petals. A tall

CHRISTOPHER STONE. Hybrid Tea. 

 (Robinson.) Another of the older roses con- 

 tinuing in demand through its own merits. 

 Rich scarlet-crimson — a bright rose that is a 

 real standout all season long. The long 

 pointed buds become large, nicely double 

 blooms of 30 or more petals. Attractive per- 

 fume. Very strong, low growing and free 

 blooming. A prizewinner in its day, this rose 

 is still a fine garden plant.

CONDESA DE SASTAGO. Hybrid Tea.

 scarlet. Always bright and gay, with heavy 

 perfume in addition to its e.xciting colors. 

 Oval buds and very full blooms on good stiff' 

 stems. Medium height, vigorous and free 

 blooming . . . Once a novelty, but for a 

 newer rose of similar colors and better size, we 

 feel we should point out Colorama (see page 7).

GARDEN PARTY. Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) 

 /^^ Plant Pat. 1814. Soft, delicate ivory and

 abundance on the tall, sturdy plant. Hand- 

 some foliage. Perfect for cutting and garden 

 decoration.
