For people who appreciate 

 unusual rose colors . . . 



H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1913. It is 

 amazing that so many people appreciate the 

 different kind of beauty which belongs to 

 Fantan. To them it is an extraordinary rose 

 and they love it. Its color is a soft, yet lively 

 tan with rich overtones which include a rosy 

 quality. However you see it, is there any 

 doubt about its exotic kind of beauty? Its 

 almost South Sea Island tan richness! 

 Whether or not this is the rose for you, can 

 you pass it by without comment one way 

 or the other? Fantan 's flowers are cupped in 

 form and have 40 to 50 petals making up a 

 good, 3 1 4-inch beauty. Adding asset to asset 

 — Fantan is fragrant to a pleasant degree and 

 its plant provides the flowers plentifully. 

 Growing to medium height with good vigor, 

 it presents a shapely appearance. Fantan 

 will reward anyone who shows an interest in 

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



GOLDEN WINGS 



Plant Pat. 1419. Ifal some time* G wmGS 

 you're thinking of a spot in your 

 garden which needs a touch of something in the way of a plant to 

 pick up the scenery a bit, or to accent it, remember the name Golden 

 Wings. It could be just the plant you need — a fine decorative shrub, or 

 hedge-type rose, with fine color and form. It produces many bri^lii 

 flowers like this one in continuous, free-blooming style. It's immensely 

 vigorous and hardy, growing to 4 feet. Fine foliage needs no spraying. 

 Substantial, good looking. $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea. 



This is an oldie — intro- 

 duced back near the turn 

 of the century, and with unusual qualities which have kept it in com- 

 merce since then. We've listed this Hybrid Perpetual rose for many 

 years, and have it still for those who need a good, white accent rosebush. 

 The flowers of 35 petals are very large and double. Opening from a 

 pointed bud tinged with carmine-pink, the flower is snow-white although 

 the center is sometimes a light blush-pink. The foliage is very dark 

 green, and the plant itself extremely vigorous. $1.50 ea.; 3 or more, 

 $1.30 ea.

— A Ground Cover. Here's some- 

 thing with special interest for 

 anyone who has one of those most troublesome of garden 

 areas — the bank where grasses won't grow and you hate to 

 mow! It's made to order, in fact, not only for such places, 

 but also for any level area on which you'd like to have a 

 hardy, carefree ground cover. Imagine such a place dotted 

 beautifully with Max Graf's 3-inch flowers of bright pink 

 with golden centers! The bloom is profuse — 

 and the foliage, which is glossy and thoroughly 

 beautiful, adds much to the scene. It's attrac- 

 tive all season. Max Graf is a Hybrid Rugosa 

 rose with fine vigor and bushy habit. It's a 

 trailing rose which multiplies itself when its 

 canes or branches take root as they touch the 

 ground. In this way, a few Max Graf plants, 

 when spotted judiciously, will soon cover a 

 problem area and end, once and for all, your 

 difficulties with keeping something green grow- 

 ing there. $1.50 ea.; 3 or more, $1.30 ea. 



The Max Graf described at left are large, field-grown plants 

 which should be spaced 18 to 21 inches apart. For 

 those who need a quantity of plants to cover a large area, 

 we have developed a method of producing a smaller Max 

 Graf plant in pots cheaply enough to offer this rose at a 

 greatly reduced price. Space these 10 to 12 inches apart. 

 5 for $3.75; 10 for $6.95; 25 for $15.95; 50 for $28.90; 100 

 for $55.
