our hope for lasting PEACE. vivid pink at the petal edges. These buds open slowly, giving long- 
lasting blooms which show delicate tints of yellow, pale gold, cream 
and ivory blending on each petal to a lightly ruffled edge of pink. 
They are clear, bright, living colors, merging one into the other like 
the fresh and lovely colors in the perfect complexion of a happy child. 
The colors vary, and the change of tints is an enchanting thmg to 
watch, as it differs from day to day and from flower to flower but is 
always beautiful and always in harmony, like the different, shtmmer-

constantly fresh looking, and its coloring always gives an effect of 
delicate loveliness even in the fully open flower, which actually ts just 
as beautiful (and even more exciting) than the half-open bud! 
The final miracle of Peace is that the plant is as remarkable as the 
blooms, with long, straight, magnificently strong stems and hand- 
some, shining dark green foliage. The blooms come in glorious 
succession and hold their form and freshness an unbelievable time, 
either as a cut-flower or on the bush. Truly, Peace is a Rose which 
“has everything.” $2.50 ea.; 3 for $6.75.
