* HORACE McFARLAND. H.T. Plant Pat. 730. 
@ Deep apricot-colored buds open rich buff- 
Aes salmon, which changes slowly to a pleasing 
coral-pink. Buds open slowly and tend to 
come in constant succession. The flowers are large, 
with 40 to 45 petals, that are also large, firm and long 
lasting. Strong stems hold the long, tapered buds 
firmly upright, well above the leathery foliage, mak- 
ing it excellent for cutting. Flowers spicily fragrant. 
Upright, compact plants that improve with age. A 
“front-row” Rose, unsurpassed for beautiful exhibi- 
tion form and glorious color. Blooms come singly, 
open perfectly, and are endearingly long lasting in 
every kind of weather: $2 ea.; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.

ea.
