Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 
a 2377. Shimmering coral or shrimp-pink with 
a special beauty all its own, topped with rich spicy 
perfume. The color is light and glowing, and it lasts 
well. The soft but lively shrimp-pink petals have a 
bit of white at the base to give the center of the 
flower a lighter touch. The double flowers are 
about 4 inches across, with the popular high center 
at first, becoming more cupped as they open. Us- 
ually three or more are carried on one strong stem. 
The plant is a tall one with shining dark green 
leaves of extra large size. It blooms all season long 
and will do well practically anywhere. The more 
you see of Camelot, the better you will like it.

2693. Weve never called this rose anything but 
Big Red, for though not a very glamorous name it 
seemed most appropriate as we watched the flowers 
bloom for the first time in our trial beds. 
In color it’s a bold red, bright and strong, with a 
more rosy red tone on the underside of the petals. 
Thick, fat buds open to velvety, high-centered 
blooms with 50 to 60 petals. And size! Actually 
the flowers are 6 inches across or more . . . and 
unusually deep, as well as wide. The petals curl 
slightly to form an exceptionally firm flower for one 
so large. Spicy fragrance. Tall, and both upright 
and spreading. es;
