 f ALL-AMERICA AWARD WINNER FOR 1968 



(®& Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2625. In our opinion, Miss All-American 



^* Beauty is not only the finest pink rose to date, but one of the very best roses ever offered to the 

 American Gardener . . . it's that good. The sheer beauty . . . the breathtaking new kind of color 

 and freshness . . . the vitality and performance of this All-America Winner almost defies descrip- 

 tion. The color is an illuminated pink; a sultry pink; an exciting pink that's clean, crisp and solid 

 with no blemishes or other shadings. And, more importantly, it's a pink that holds its crisp color 

 right up to the end of the bloom. The beautiful buds are a solid indication of the wonderful flow- 

 ers that follow . . . medium long, tapering and bursting with color; unfurling slowly to big, 

 lively blooms 5 inches or more across. Flowers are magnificent; fully double, cup-shaped, with 

 50 to 60 sculptured petals of excellent substance and are borne (usually) singly on medium long, strong stems and are 

 produced in profusion throughout the season. The plant has excellent vigor, as is evidenced by the magnificent bloom 

 it produces. Miss All-American Beauty grows approximately 4 to 43-4 feet in height, is well-branched and very shapely. 



Foliage is especially attractive; large, 

 sage-green and very full. A rose this 

 magnificent has to have fragrance 

 and it does ... a wonderful, strong, 

 heady tea fragrance. 



$4 ea. — 3 or more, $3.55 ea.

 AWARD WINNER 



^t^ Grandiflora. (The House of Meil- 

 *^ S land.) Plant Pat. 2692. Scarlet Knight 

 is a wonderful new Grandiflora — the finest 

 deep red Grandiflora. It is a balanced 

 rose with exceptional color, bud form and 

 bloom and shapely, vigorous, free-bloom- 

 ing plant with good strong stems. It is a 

 rich, vibrant red — an eye-catching velvety, 

 scarlet red that does not blue as it ages. 

 The well-shaped buds open from a deep, 

 dark red to blooms of classic, high-centered 

 form up to 5 inches across. The classic 

 form and the solid, vibrant-red color make 

 Scarlet Knight truly one of the finest roses 

 to come along in years. Bloom comes usu- 

 ally two or three to the stem with occa- 

 sional single blooms which are excellent 

 for cutting. Long, strong stems hold the 

 many blooms firmly upright. Not only are 

 the blooms exceptionally beautiful, but 

 Scarlet Knight produces so many of them 

 all season long. This rose has an excellent 

 plant — very attractive, growing medium 

 to tall with a fine, upright habit. Its ex- 

 ceptional vigor enables it to produce the 

 tremendous quantity of bloom plus a thick 

 covering of beautiful leathery green foliage.
