 GRAN DI FLORA ROSE 



Camelot 



SEE THIS PINK BEAUTY ON THE BACK COVER 



GR. (Swim & Weeks) Plant Pat. 2371. We are pleased to 

 oftcr you Camelot, our other 1965 All-America Rose, along 

 with Mister Lincoln, thereby providing you with "double" 

 beauty, prestige and enjoyment for your garden. Camelot is 

 a luminous coral-pink rose with a lovely shimmering iri- 

 descence reminding one of legends of lovely ladies and gallant 

 knights. This courtly rose was named Camelot after the 

 ancient storied city of King Arthur and his court. It is a 

 queenly rose, regal and classic and well named. It grows and 

 glows with rare beauty in the garden. The large buds, high 

 centered at first, then somewhat cupped, open to blooms 5 

 inches across, each having good, spicy fragrance. These 

 richly petaled, double blooms of firm substance come some- 

 times one and often two or three or more to the stem, as a 

 grandiflora should. You will like the way the long, sturdy 

 canes hold them upright, ready for cutting or admiring.

And you will enjoy the abun- 

 dance of blooms all summer 

 long. The plant is tall and vigorous, the foliage is almost 

 as gorgeous as the rose itself — large, lustrous, deep green. 

 You will find this an easy-to-care-for rose, and the lively 

 coral-pink will remain rich and radiant ail season long. 

 Camelot will give you complete satisfaction if you are the 

 rose-grower looking not only for beauty but also for good fra- 

 grance, outstanding foliage and a hardy, disease-resistant 

 plant as well. Camelot is a royal rose, beautiful and aristo- 

 cratic enough to be the "favorite" of Kings and Queens — 

 and Gardeners. You will be interested to know that Camelot 

 is the direct descendant of two of the noblest of roses: Queen 

 Elizabeth (the first grandiflora to win an All-America Award) 

 and Circus (another All-America Winner). J3.50 ea.; 3 or 

 more, $3.10 ea. 



H.T. (Johnston) Plant Pat. 2037. In the short span of two years since Chicago Peace was intro- 

 duced, this marvelous rose has risen to the top in popularity. Chi&ago Peace is a true color 

 sport of the world-famous rose. Peace (the biggest seller in rose history; more that 30 million 

 plants sold to date). Chicago Peace is a carbon copy of Peace in every respect, but with two 

 exciting differences. It has a different color, and it is fragrant in the old-fashioned way. The 

 rich, shimmering pink with canary-yellow and occasionally copper tones at the petal bases is 

 pure delight. The enormous, full, high-centered blooms in the grand Peace manner emerge 

 from big, solid buds. Strong, medium long stems hold them erect easily. And the plant itself 

 is also like Peace — vigorous, strong growing and substantial with heavy canes and large, 

 leatherj', glossy leaves. Chicago Peace will give pleasure to millions in the years 

 to come, and we hope that you will be among those to enjoy this great rose, in your 

 garden. $3 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.65 ea.
