{above) Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) 

 Plant Pat. 2326. Here is perhaps the blackest 

 red rose you've ever seen. It's an unusual color, giving this 

 big rose a look of luxuriant beauty. The bud is handsome, 

 medium long and full, with curled-back edges shading into 

 a velvet scarlet. The 45 to 55 large, velvety petals produce 

 an exquisite bloom of excellent substance and perfect form 

 ... a superb exhibition type bloom with very good keeping 

 qualities both on the plant and when cut. Possessing a 

 delightful heady fragrance, Oklahoma has an overall air 

 of distinction with that "something special" you'll appre- 

 ciate. In addition to its magnificent blooms, Oklahoma has 

 an excellent plant not only vigorous but also attractive. It 

 grows medium tall, somewhat spreading, and is fully covered 

 with heavy, shiny-green foliage. A rose in the classic style, 

 you'll like its unusual charm and beauty . . . it's bound to 

 become one of your very favorite roses.

(above) Grandiflora. (The House of 

 Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1912. An excep- 

 tionally fine yellow rose that produces a tremendous 

 amount of excellent bloom all season long. In fact, we 

 believe Golden Girl produces more bloom than any 

 yellow hybrid tea rose. The color and blooms of this won- 

 derful rose are superb — clear, solid yellow, sculptured buds 

 open into magnificent, perfectly formed fully double flowers 

 4 to 5 inches across. The over-all appearance of this rose 

 is unusually good. Buds, bloom, foliage and plant have a 

 wonderful cool, clean, crisp look on a plant of excellent 

 balance and uniform growth. The plant is very upright, 

 shapely, well-branched and vigorous. Beautiful, solid, 

 dark-green foliage covers the bush fully providing a perfect 

 background for the multitude of golden blooms. A "just 

 right" touch of perfume adds to the perfection of Golden 

 Girl ... a yellow rose that will be a favorite for many 

 years to come.
