 Plant Pat. 2444. Here is 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 

 the longest, largest bud of any rose we grow, and as the buds open, 

 the petals pull away from the center, outward and downward, in 

 an unusual and attractive fashion accentuating the size and beauty 

 of the flower. The bloom opens crisp and clean, displaying its two 

 tones of deep, clear rose-red in a most effective manner. Each 

 bloom, with 45 to 55 exquisitely formed petals, measures up to 5 

 inches across and is produced on tremendously long, sturdy stems. 

 A fine cutting rose, it bears its bloom freely and continuously all 

 season long. The plant is tall 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 light touch of exotic 

 perfume adds a special charm. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.

One of the most rewarding roses you can have. 

 Confidence is noted for its large blooms and ex- 

 cellent form. The lovely color is an intricate blend 

 of pastel peach tones . . . bright, light yellow at 

 the base of the petals with a delicate shading of 

 shrimp-pink at the petal edges, many times sepa- 

 rated with a splash of luminous off-white. The 

 long, streamlined buds open to high-centered, 5- 

 inch blooms of exhibition quality. Confidence has 

 a good sound plant, upright, bushy and solidly 

 branched ... a rose good enough to win the 

 coveted "Most Beautiful Rose of France" award. 

 This is one of those roses that have kept their popu- 

 larity for many years. Why not order several? 



$2.50 ea.— 3 or more, $2.20 ea.

 of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1469. 

 Medium long, well-sculptured buds of rich deep 

 orange open to beautiful blooms of slightly lighter 

 apricot tones with tints of orange and just a hint 

 of red. It is a warm, inviting rose of unusual ex- 

 hibition quality. The buds open to large, solid 

 blooms of 35 to 45 big, firm petals with fine tex- 

 ture. The distincti\e color remains vivid through- 

 out the life of the bloom. Lady Elgin is a tall rose 

 — strong and upright. The long, strong canes are 

 substantially covered with most attractive sea- 

 green foliage which highlights the rich blooms. 

 There is a subtle, lovely perfume, too.
