MEDALLION 



Big Red 



Hybrid Tea. We grow a number of large red 

 roses, but here"s the biggest of them all — 6 

 inches and more across. These lovely, vel- 

 vety blooms are oversize not only in width 

 but in depth too. A bold red. bright and 

 strong with a more rosy red tone on the 

 underside of the petals. Thick, fat. pointed 

 buds open to high-centered blooms with 50 

 to 60 satiny petals. Each petal curls slightly 

 to form an exceptionally firm flower for one 

 so very large. Rich, spicy perfume. 



Tall, upright and somewhat spreading.

$4.50 ea.— 3 or more. S4.20 ea.

Medallion 



^^«^ Hybrid Tea. A tremendous breakthrough both in the 



*-^^ new delicate apricot-buff color and in the size of the 



magnificent 7-inch flowers. An unequaled new rose of a 



I lovely pastel color that varies with the weather but is 



' always distinctively different. Superb pastel blooms of soft 



J apricot-buff, with a slightly deeper center and a delicate 



ivory edge. Slender pointed soft coppery-pink buds open 



to huge informal buff-pink flowers with extremely broad 



petals. Open blooms soften to a tantalizing straw yellow. 



Lasting ability is remarkable. A mild fruity perfume is the 



perfect complement. 



Vigorous and erect — put Medallion in the back row. 

 Blooms are borne on long, strong stems, perfect for the 

 garden and for cutting. Extremely free blooming, we have 

 seen as many as 45 of these tremendous blooms at one time 

 on a single plant. (Warriner.) Plant Pat. 2997. 

 $4.90 ea. — 3 or more. $4.60 ea.

"From the time it was introduced. 1 have had 2 

 Miss Ail-American Beauties (see page 12) in my 

 garden. It is in all respects the finest Tea I 

 know — unfailing in performance and robustness. 

 It's an incredible rose!"
