• HAPPINESS 



Plant Pat. 911. Brilliant, brilliant red! 

 Its petals are unbelievably firm and 

 heavy, like highly pohshed dark red 

 leather. There is a coppery sheen to 

 the flaming red and it may be this that 

 gives the blooms their unusual bril- 

 liance. The flowers age to crimson- 

 carmine or royal rose-red but do not 

 blue. Very firm, distinctive form, with 

 the outer petals curhng to points in 

 layer after layer about the solid, 

 pointed center. This is already a 

 popular florist's Rose; garden plants, 

 when mature, produce even better 

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

 ea.

THE 

 MOST BEAUTIFUL 



ROSE 

 IN THE WORLD 



Peace has the freshness and beauty of 

 a bright spring dawn. Its colors vary 

 from day to day and from flower to 

 flower but always have that wonderful 

 clear freshness, that breath-catching 

 loveliness. The buds are golden with 

 a flash of pink along the petal edges. 

 They open very slowly, giving long- 

 lasting blooms that show dehcate tints 

 of yellow, pale gold, cream and ivory, 

 with a varying flush of pink on the 

 edges of the lightly ruffled petals. It 

 always looks ethereal, though it is 

 actuafly a big Rose and probably the 

 most long-lasting of all. 

 The plant is as remarkable as the 

 blooms, with long, straight, magnifi- 

 cently strong stems and handsome, big, 

 shining fohage that stands out from 

 all other Roses.
