MONTEZUMA 



GR. (Swim) Plant Pat. 1383. This rose, as much as any 

 other, typifies the grandiflora class with its wonderful hy- 

 brid tea-like blooms and plentiful supply of roses. The 

 brilliant rosy salmon blooms, each a high-centered flower 

 of 40 petals, come on long, strong stems. The bud has 

 lovely shape, long and slender. The plant grows from 3 to 

 5 feet high and should be planted where it will not hide 

 bushes of lower growth. Long stems make Montezuma par- 

 ticularly fine for cutting and flower arranging. You can cut 

 all you want; there will be more blooms coming soon. Out- 

 standing features are gorgeous color, fine form and vigorous 

 plant. Montezuma has richness. $3 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $2.65 ea. 



SIMONE 



H.T. (Mallerin) Plant Pat. 1847. You pro- 

 nounce it See-mun. The French name is 

 intriguing, and the rose is as intriguing as 

 Lavender and Old Lace — particularly if 

 you welcome lavender as something dif- 

 ferent in a rose color. The idea of a lav- 

 ender rose may sound delicate or fragile 

 to you, but Simone is as strong and rugged 

 as any other rose we've ever grown! The 

 bloom is large, often reaching 6 to 7 inches 

 across, and has 65 petals, all substantial. 

 Flowers generally come in clusters, on 

 stems of medium length. Look at the color 

 again . . . cool, clear lilac-lavender which 

 at times seems to be almost silvery. An- 

 other of its assets is good fragrance, light 

 and pleasant. Simone is the best of the 

 lavender roses, a modern rose with an old- 

 fashioned color appeal so much sought 

 after by our modern decorators of today. 

 Simone is a distinctively diff"erent rose . . . 

 a beautiful conversation piece. $3 ea. : 

 3 or more, $2.65 ea.

VASSAR CENTENNIAL 



VASSAR CENTENNIAL 



H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 2031. This rose is outstanding enough to be named 

 in honor of the 100th anniversary of Vassar College. This is a splended exhibi- 

 tion type rose. It has great size, lovely apricot and peach coloring, fragrance, 

 superb growing habit, graceful buds and blooms. The open flower with its 30 

 to 40 large, curling petals emerges from a shapely, pointed bud. The plant car- 

 ries such buds and flowers profusely, one to the long stem, and grows upright, 

 medium tall with good vigor. The beauty of its soft coloring is fetchingly fem- 

 inine in its appeal. A light touch of fragrance is Vassar Centennial's crowning 

 glory. $2.75 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.40 ea.
