Apollo 



/^^, Hybrid Tea. Such a bright, clear sunny yellow and so tall and strong. Apollo is a 

 *^* standout in any garden. Radiant, pointed buds slowly become big, double 

 blooms, up to 4'/i inches across. Usually there is a single bloom to the stem and 

 always they are held high on the plant, never hiding in the foliage. The sunshine 

 yellow is a delight all season, with each dazzling bloom a real eye-catcher and 

 the color holds for such a long time. 



Strong, tall growing and well branched, Apollo could almost be a Grandiflora. 

 Foliage is large, leathery and very disease resistant, covering the plants well, com- 

 pletely hiding the branches. Great for any use and particularly good for arrange- 

 ments. Beautiful all season and a plant that is second to none. For an outstanding 

 "rose show" all summer long, it's a masterpiece. (Armstrong.) Plant Pat. 3322.

ARIZONA 



Arizona 



(^^ Grandiflora. When we first saw 

 ^&-^ Arizona with its flashy golden cop- 

 per brilliance, we saw all the things that 

 make Arizona, the state, such a 

 delight — the flaming scarlet sunsets, the 

 blazing noonday sun, all the colors of 

 the spectacular sunrise. As colorful as 

 the Painted Desert, Arizona, the rose, 

 combines all of these shades. Buds are 

 so perfect with satiny petals gently 

 swirling open to AVi inch flowers of 

 golden copper brushed with shades of 

 scarlet. An alluring tea fragrance is 

 the perfect complement. 



Tall, strong, vigorous and well 

 branched. One plant will produce a pro- 

 fusion of decorative bloom all season, 

 and each bloom is produced on 

 a long, straight, sturdy stem 

 for cutting. A back-row rose 

 with neat, balanced growth 

 and dark, semi-glossy, leath- 

 ery foliage. Resistance to dis- 

 ease and winter hardiness are 

 well above average. Arizona is 

 a beauty and will give years of pleasure, 

 beauty and enjoyment. (Weeks.) Plant 

 Pat. 3568.
