QUALITY STAR ROSES 



CARROUSEL 



GR. (Duehrsen) Plant Pat. 1066. Looking for anotiuT fine 

 deep red? This is it — a garnet charmer with a most unusual, 

 lively sheen on the petals. The 3-foot plant bears the big 

 blooms individually and in clusters, and they come in pro- 

 fusion. Sturdy, bushy, attractive plant. $2.25 ea. ; 3 or 

 more, $2 ea. 



TIFFANY 



/^K^ H.T. Plant Pat. 1304. Fully as elegant as its name 

 '^■^ implies. Predominantly pink, tinged with pale gold in 

 beautifully shaped buds and blooms. Many, many flowers 

 on the 3 to 4-foot plant. An Ail-America winner in 1955. 

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



NEW YORKER 



H.T. Plant Pat. 823. Bright, sparkling red rose with excel- 

 lent form and eye-filling size. Stems are ideal for cutting. 

 Vigorous, medium-height bush produces lots of fragrant 

 flowers of exceptional color and charm. $2.50 ea. ; 3 or 

 more, $2.20 ea. 



LUCKY PIECE 



H.T. Plant Pat. 1948. Blended luies of gold, cream and pink 

 are gorgeously displayed in king-size style. It has the un- 

 usual size and solidity of the great Peace bloom of which it is 

 a true "sport." Tremendous vigor, strong growing canes, 

 healtiiy foliage, charming fragrance. Colors change from 

 deep shades to lighter ones in accordance with changes in 

 weather and as the flower matures. $3 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $2.65 ea. 



PERFECTA 



H.T. (Kordes) Plant Pat. 1604. An interesting blend of 

 cream and rose-red. Big, high-centered, very double blooms, 

 having 45 to 50 petals, come on long stems. Bush is superbly 

 vigorous, a medium tall grower, with rich, heavy foliage of 

 bronze-green with the new growth a decided red. Perfecta's 

 foliage is more glossy than most. A pleasing scent. Only 

 one slight shortcoming — the colorful but delicate petals tend 

 to discolor in wet weather. $2.75 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



MOJAVE 



1^^ H.T. (Swim) Plant Pat. 1176. One of the most ex- 

 A^s citingly beautiful roses ever created. Mojave is a cop- 

 pery red, almost orange, delightfully fdled with all the colors 

 of the desert. Both long bud and high-centered bloom are 

 admirably shaped. The plant is tall, rather slender, and has 

 beautiful foliage and plenty of vigor. Fragrance is fine. No 

 wonder it won All-America honors in 1954. $2.75 ea. ; 

 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



SUNLIGHT 



H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1576. Here is a vivid yellow 

 rose with a good plant, not always common in yellows. Sun- 

 light is one of the best in its color class. In addition to the 

 newly minted gold color and the medium tall, well-pro- 

 portioned, vigorous bush. Sunlight's qualities include a nice 

 but light fragrance and an abundance of flowers, each with 

 from 43 to 48 petals. $2 ea. ; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.
