(below) NEW FOR 1967! Hybrid Tea. (The 

 House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2693. Here is 

 a big, bold, boisterous rose — from the first time we saw it in 

 our test block, it has been known as Big Red because it is 

 just that, a big, vibrant, red-red, beautiful rose. The dra- 

 matic, dusky, velvet-red blooms are oversize not only in 

 diameter, but in depth as well. Even the well-formed, some- 

 what curling petals are extra large. In fact, it's tlie largest 

 red rose we know. At its \'ery best, one bloom alone seems 

 almost like a bouquet. The buds are robust, full and well- 

 pointed, opening into fully double, high-centered blooms. 

 Petals are unusually large, curling slightly in classic rose 

 form to produce an exceptionally firm bloom for so large a 

 rose. The plant is tall and upright, but somewhat spreading, 

 to take care of the many blooms it habitually carries. Excel- 

 lent, large, grey-green foliage covers the plant well. Give it 

 a little extra room to grow and display its beauty. 



$3.50 ea. — 3 or more, S3. 10 ea.

 brid Tea. (R. Jelly.) Plant Pat. 

 App. for. This Hybrid Tea has the unusual distinction of 

 having two different colors so harmoniously blended it is 

 difficult to tell where one begins and the other leaves ofi". 

 Summer Rainbow is refresiiingly beautiful with petals of 

 rich-textured pink underlaid witii a mist of fine chrome- 

 yellow. It is the kind of rose that always seems to sparkle, 

 even in the hot mid-day sun. In bud and bloom, this rose 

 has superb form. The bud is solid but sculptured, much 

 like the famous Peace rose, and opens into a fully double- 

 bloom of 50 to 60 petals with good substance. This buxom 

 beauty is of medium height with straight sturdy stems and 

 very full, medium green foliage. Blooms come usually one 

 or two to a stem. It's an excellent cutting rose . . . 'V'ou'll 

 like Summer Rainbow for its tremendous ability to please.
