;c It's a Quality Rose 



TORCH SONG 



H.T. (Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 1760. Frankly, I don't 

 care too much for this one, 

 but others like it a lot. It 

 IS a most unusual color — a 

 sort of smoky-red flame. 

 Actually, I don't know an- 

 other quite like it. The 

 color seems to glow as 

 though with inner fire. 

 Blooms come plentifully on 

 the bush, each with 35 to 45 

 loosely curling petals. The 

 plant grows to medium 

 height with good style and vigor. It 

 has long stems and the flowers come 

 individually on them — good for cut- 

 ting! After all that, sounds as though 

 I'm crazy. I ought to like it. I'll 

 go back and take another look. 

 $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.

jUNLIVJrl II It has been puzzling to me that 

 this rose has not been as popular as it should be. Maybe 

 we haven't told its story well enough. Anyway — good 

 yellow roses with strong plants are not very common; 

 and Sunlight on these merits alone is one of the best. 

 In addition to the newly minted gold color and the tall, 

 well-proportioned, vigorous bush, Sunlight's qualities 

 include a nice, but light, fragrance, and an abundance of 

 flowers, each with from 43 to 48 substantial petals. $2.50 

 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.

H.T. (Hill.) Plant Pat. 1217. A very good, bright red 

 rose with velvet-textured petals, 35 to 40 of them to each 

 solid bloom. These come on sturdy, upright canes and are 

 quite a sight, indeed, for they are a good 5 inches across. 

 With one such flower to the stem, this rose is impressive in 

 the garden or in the vase on the piano. The plant reaches 

 to about 3 feet and its foliage is leathery and attractive. 

 With a strong, sweet fragrance of the old-rose type, Presi- 

 dent Eisenhower rounds out its appeal ... a strong one. 

 $2.25 ea.; 3 or more, $2 ea.
