Oklahoma 



Hybrid Tea. While not actually black. Oklahoma is such a deep 

 smoky velvet red that it almost seems so. The deep deep color is 

 richly enhanced by the delightful perfume. Buds are almost black 

 and nicely pointed. Five-inch pointed blooms have perfect form, 

 excellent texture and fine keeping ability. Each deep red petal is 

 liberally brushed with black velvet around the outside. 



Medium tall plants with good cutting stems holding the blooms 

 erect and above the foliage so they never hide. Each bloom is 

 worth waiting for. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2326. 

 $4.50 ea.— 3 or more. $4.20 ea. 



"Oregold (see page 4) was the best of the season last season. Most 

 frequently used for my "rose of the day."' Each day I cut the best 

 bloom for my wife. It pleases her and forces me to stop and 

 appreciate."
