 Uf(J(l/l/f//f(y/C land.) Plant Pal. 2444. An unusually 

 beautiful two-toned deep pink rose that has outstanding, 

 high-centered form. From the ground up, Swarthmore is an 

 exhibitor's delight. It has tlie longest, largest bud of any rose 

 we grow. The bloom opens crisp and clean, displaying two 

 tones of smooth, deep clear rose-red in a most effective man- 

 ner, tending to have a darker margin on the petals. Each 

 bloom, with 45 to 55 exquisitely formed petals, measures up 

 to 5 inclies across and is produced on a long, sturdy stem. A 

 fine cutting rose, it bears its bloom freely and continuously 

 all season long. The plant is a tall, upright grower, but well 

 branched. Large, leathery, ivy-green foliage covers the long 

 canes completely, adding a lush, fresh richness to the overall 

 effect of the rose. A Hght touch of exotic perfume is the final 

 charming note.

{below) Hybrid Tea. (R. Jelly.) 

 Plant Pat. 2746. As refreshing as a 

 suminer shower, this new rose always seems to sparkle, even 

 in the hot mid-day sun. The colors are so harmoniousl) 

 blended that they are hard to name, but in general it can be 

 described as light crimson with a soft chrome-yellow reverse. 

 As it ages the crimson passes to fuchsia-pink. Buds are urn 

 shaped, of medium size, solid and well sculptured. They are 

 borne one to a stem. They open into full, high-centered 

 blooins of large size with 45 to 50 satiny petals of good sub- 

 stance and emitting pleasing tea fragrance. Stems are 

 straight and strong, making this an excellent cutting rose. 

 The plant is of average height, well branched and well 

 covered with medium green foliage. In its general character 

 you will see its resemblance to the famous Peace rose, which 

 is one of its parents.

 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 in scroll-like style as the 

 flower opens. The bloom retains its high 

 center well and has ample petals — about 50 

 — to give it a firm shape. Light, alluring 

 tea fragrance. Long lasting and ever lovely. 

 Lady X lends her pale lilac color to elegant 

 arrangements. A tall, shapely, well- 

 branched plant makes this a display rose 

 for the back row of a group. The heavy, 

 dark foliage complements the soft color. 

 Once you grow Lady X, you will want to 

 add more to your garden next year.
