GARDEN PARTY SUMMER SUNSHINE 
TROPICANA 
Tropicana 
Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 1969. An orange color, 
& so bright and true you can’t overlook it. Absolutely stunning 
for cutting, both for its intense color and its beautifully formed, 
long, graceful buds. Flowers are medium size, double and very 
fragrant, with a high pointed center. 
Easy to grow, thrifty and hardy. Quite tall and bushy. Blooms 
well all season and lives up to its reputation as a classic. Before 
reaching America, Tropicana had already won many top honors 
in Europe, where it was called Super Star. 
$3.90 ea.—3 or more, $3.60 ea. 
Oklahoma 
Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2326. ‘““My husband’s 
favorite, and enjoyed by every man, is Oklahoma. They seem to 
feel it is a masculine rose’? writes a customer in New York. We 
can’t vouch for its gender, but we do rate this as just about the 
darkest Hybrid Tea you can find. In color it is a smooth, smoky 
wine-red, shaded even darker, with a velvety texture. Flowers are 
about 5 inches across, with 50 big dusky petals and marvelous 
scent. Perfect form and fine keeping powers. Medium height. 
$3.50 ea.—3 or more, $3.20 ea. 


COMANCHE 
Summer Sunshine 
Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 2078. Brilliant gold, sparkling in 
the sunshine and standing out from other yellow roses because of 
its dazzling tone. Flowers are medium size, high centered to 
cupped, with about 25 satiny petals. Both form and color last well. 
A vigorous plant of average height, well branched and with an 
abundance of grey-green leaves. A regular bloomer until frost. 
“‘A truly perfect yellow rose” is the verdict of one New Jersey 
grower. So if you would like a ‘“‘knock-out”’ yellow, here it is. 
$3.75 ea.—3 or more, $3.40 ea. 
Comanche 
Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2855. A bright, 
a distinctive color, bold and sassy. The pointed buds are dull 
red on the outside, but as they open they catch on fire. The upper 
side of the petals is orange-red and the underside a more rosy or 
“Indian”? red. Double blooms, about 4 inches in diameter, are 
carried like a crown at the top of great canes—6 to 8 in a Cluster. 
Leaves are very dark and thick, a beautiful reddish bronze in 
the early stage. Tall and rangy, vigorous and free blooming all 
season long. 
$3.75 ea.—3 or more, $3.40 ea.
