 of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1359. 

 The first white Hybrid Tea All-America Winner 

 ... a clean, pure white rose that does not dis- 

 color. White Knight gives you classic, exhibition type 

 buds and blooms of exceptional quality. The perfectly 

 shaped buds open to firm, satiny white blooms of 

 medium size, coining 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 form and substance of the buds 

 and blooms hold well both in the garden and in the 

 house. The plant has moderate vigor and good disease 

 resistance, and grows upright to about 3 feet in height. 

 To appreciate its elegance, plant White Knight in the 

 front or center of the garden where its snowy white will 

 be easily seen. 



$2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea.

 The Gold Certificate — the highest honor given 

 a rose by the American Rose Society — is the latest award 

 earned by this marvelous Hybrid Tea. It was first intro- 

 duced in Europe a few years ago, and everywhere it has been re- 

 ceived with fanfare. And no wonder! Tropicana has vigor, 

 excellent foliage, good fragrance and especially fine color. Its 

 bright orange-red is intense but not too deep and is full of a lum- 

 inous quality that makes it come alive. This rich color holds ex- 

 ceedingly well, too. The medium large, 43^2 to 5-inch, double 

 blooms have good, strong fragrance. The tall, bushy, well-shaped 

 plant is covered with substantial shiny green foliage — decorative 

 in its own right. 



$3.75 ea. — 3 or inore, $3.30 ea. 



{lejt) Hybrid Tea. (The 

 C/(//C/C/ House of Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 1759. This deep dusky pink masterpiece 

 is famous for its size, continuous free bloom and 

 fragrance. Pink Peace has a most unusual and 

 beautiful color — the pink is rich, soft and fetch- 

 ing, with a shimmering quality that gives an 

 effect of soft highlighting to the flower. The 

 very shapely, robust buds open to huge, fully 

 double flowers whose satiny loveliness is en- 

 hanced by curls and curves in the outer petal 

 edges. Fragrance is strong and pleasing. The 

 appeal of Pink Peace is completed by a tall, 

 disease-resistant plant with enormous vigor. 

 Growing upright and bushy with good strong 

 canes, this is an excellent plant for the back 

 row or for an accent. Well-distributed, large 

 leaves of forest-green provide the perfect fram- 

 ing for the blooms. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.
