Pharaoh 



(not shown) 



Everything a Hybrid Tea should be— red, big. bright, bold and 

 beautiful. Vivid scarlet blooms have a velvety overcast with deep 

 (almost black) red brushed along the petal margins where they 

 are touched by the sun. Lovely, ovoid buds are very dark maroon 

 and open to a glowing scarlet on the upper side of the petals with 

 just a touch of orange gleam for warmth. This big beauty is 

 outstanding until petals fall. 



Plants are average height with large, glossy dark foliage. The 

 huge, well formed flowers come freely on good stiff stems and are 

 superb when brought indoors. Some of our friends claim a bloom 

 of Pharaoh lasts longer than any other rose. Oustanding, and a 

 showy delight. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2859.

 hard to believe that such a large firm like yours have so 

 many friendly people and so helpful."

Garden Party 



(^^ Hybrid Tea. Often considered a white rose. Garden Party is 

 ^»-' actually an eye-catching blend of soft, delicate tones that 

 distinguishes it from every other rose. The warm, rich ivory at 

 the center, blends across the large, flared petals to creamy tones 

 with a flush of appleblossom pink that gently and slowly steals 

 over the outer edges of the petals. Excellent petal substance and 

 lasting ability makes it the ideal cutting rose. An excellent quan- 

 tity of delightful, double, very fragrant blooms come continu- 

 ously. 



An outstanding picture in any garden with the long, stiff stems 

 (straight and tall) holding the distinctive blooms erect for all to 

 admire. Tall, strong, well branched and handsome — all you 

 would expect from a rose. A rose of distinction (one of the 

 classics) that will bring you pleasure all summer long. (Swim.)
