^fy^/I/) //^/9/'^ {below) Hybrid Tea. (Johns- 

 Htlf^f/ / tavr ^^^^ pi^^^ p^^ 2037. With all 



the superior qualities of the Peace rose this sport 

 (discovered in Chicago) is recognized as one of the 

 truly great roses of all time. In fact, it has livelier 

 color and more fragrance than its parent. This 

 handsome flower seems full of the joy of life, for its 

 exuberance knows no bounds. Shimmering pink, 

 canary-yellow and occasional coppery tones at the 

 petal bases and underside cover the blooms in 

 dramatic fashion. The promise of the large solid 

 bud is fulfilled by the huge bloom, up to 7 inches 

 across, with 50 to 60 large petals. Light but sweet 

 fragrance. Thick heavy canes with very large, 

 leathery leaves of rich parsley-green comprise the 

 tall, sturdy plant. A continuous, reliable producer 

 that you will love forever.

(above) Hybrid Tea. (Swim & 

 Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2032. Royal 

 ^ indeed is this exquisitely colored Hybrid Tea 

 with a pronounced tea fragrance that is a sur- 

 prise to find in such a delicately tinted flower. Buds 

 are very long and pointed, and as they slowly roll 

 open, the 5 to 53^2-irich blooms retain this high- 

 centered form. The flowers have 40 to 45 thick, soft 

 petals of such glossiness that you want to touch them 

 gently to make sure they are real. They open well, 

 even in bad weather, and have an unusually long life. 

 Long, stiff stems bear the blooms upright . . . and 

 who can resist them for cutting? We suggest you buy 

 three or more of these plants, for you'll find yourself 

 wanting more and more of the blooms for arrange- 

 ments. The well-rounded plant is a beautiful orna- 

 mental in itself, with rich dark leaves.
