(right) Hybrid Tea. (The House of 

 Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1943. Mag- 

 nificent crimson-red overlaid with an iridescent scarlet 

 plus exquisite form make Christian Dior a superb red 

 rose. This is a rich, exciting rose with high style to match 

 its name. The beautiful color becomes even more glowing 

 when seen under artificial lights, and this characteristic 

 combined with its assured air of excellence gives it special 

 value as a cut flower. Its dimensions are not above average, 

 but the 50 to 60 neatly arranged petals form a solidly sub- 

 stantial flower of top exhibition quality. Buds are ovoid, 

 and fragrance is delicate. A bushy, vigorous, upright plant. 

 Christian Dior has good rich green, leathery foliage, and 

 plenty of it. Bloom production is steady and continuous 

 throughout the season.

(right center) Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) 

 Plant Pat. 1814. The sculptured blooms 

 (^^ of this All-America Winner are a soft delicate combin- 

 ^ ation of rich ivory in the center of the bloom giving way 

 to creamy tones and finally to a delicate flush of apple- 

 blossom-pink. In spite of its soft tones. Garden Party is a 

 dramatic rose with 25 to 30 large flaring petals with excel- 

 lent texture and substance. Bloom is plentiful and con- 

 tinues all season long. The plant is tall, very strong and well 

 branched. Handsome foliage provides the perfect back- 

 ground for this very lovely, very alluring rose. Garden 

 Party has a distinguished family tree, for its parents are 

 Peace and Charlotte Armstrong. And this ancestry is ap- 

 parent in many features of Garden Party. The fact that it 

 has won its fair share of awards at rose shows everywhere is 

 proof of the beauty and quality that you will enjoy all 

 season long.
