PERFUME DELIGHT

Dear friends, 
With this catalog comes our reminder that 
it's time to get really serious about your gar- 
dening plans for 1974. If you have already sent an order, maybe you 
need a couple of bushes to fill in, and they make fine gifts for gar- 
dening friends. And if you haven't ordered, don’t put it off. We want 
to get your bushes to you at the best time for planting. Then in just a 
few weeks you will see the first buds. 
The All-America Award Winners for 1974 are full of promise. But 
remember also that any rose you have never grown Is a novelty for 
you. Why not get acquainted with at least one new rose this season? 
Our Garden Guide this year includes mums also. They will 
prolong the season of color in your garden and end the year in a 
blaze of glory. We strongly urge you to think colorful Mums as well 
as our beautiful Roses.

Perfume Delight 
See also front cover 
Hybrid Tea. (Weeks.) Again we have O. L. Weeks to 
483° thank for a magnificent new All-America Award win- 
ning Hybrid Tea. Last year his Gypsy was the winner. 
Perfume Delight fully deserves its name. Its brilliant pink 
color and penetrating spicy fragrance produce a truly per- 
fumed, truly delightful flower. The classic high-centered 
buds unfurl to large blooms with 30 broad satiny petals. 
Slow to open, they are perfect for exhibiting on a show 
table ... and perhaps even more enjoyable in a garden. 
This unblemished glowing pink is a warm, lasting color. 
Flowers are up to 5 inches across, with a high center and 
gracefully rolled petals. Good cutting stems with strong 
necks hold the blooms erect. This is a medium tall, vigorous 
plant with large, leathery, olive-green leaves of above- 
average disease resistance. Plant Pat. 3282. 
$4.90 ea.— 3 or more, $4.55 ea. 
Tropicana 
», Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Spectacular long, flawless buds 
3° of clear true orange—a bright, intense shade that 
demands attention. Beautiful form in both the bud and open 
flower. Medium size, double, with 30 to 35 petals and pro- 
nounced fruity fragrance. Its high spiraled center marks the 
ideal Hybrid Tea. Stunning as a cut flower, with blooms 
usually borne one to a good long stem. 
This is quite a tall plant, bushy and undemanding, with 
dark glossy leaves of leathery texture. Free blooming all 
season. 
Tropicana has been available for only about ten years, 
but in that time has made a world-wide reputation and is 
now rated as a classic. In Europe it won most of the top 
prizes under the name “Super Star.” Here it stays a favorite 
because it 1s so easy to grow. Plant Pat. 1969. 
$3.90 ea.—3 or more, $3.60 ea.
