THE NOVELTIES 



^FANTASTIQUE. H.T. (F. Meilland.) . Plant 

 Pat. 574. This is a Hybrid Tea but low growing and 

 with the early and abundant bloom of a Floribunda. 

 It is one of the first to come into bloom in the spring 

 and always attracts attention all through the season. 

 The 33^-inch flowers are light yellow, with each petal 

 edge feathered carmine like a picotee tulip. Charming 

 and most unusual for the front row of a planting. 

 $1.50 ea.; 3 for $4. 



^FRED EDMUNDS. H.T. (Mallerin.) Plant Pat. 

 Wf^i pending. Winner of 1944 All-America Regional 

 V"! Award. Burnt-orange buds opening to glorious, 

 25-petaled blooms of vivid, glowing coppery orange 

 color which slowly changes to soft apricot. Rich, 

 fruity fragrance. Holly-like, very shiny foliage. (One 

 park superintendent was asked by a visitor if the 

 leaves had been varnished!) Some growers have 

 found this Rose difficult but others have found it one 

 of the most brilliant novelties in many years. $2 ea. ; 

 3 for $5.35.

^GRANDE DUCHESSE CHARLOTTE. H.T. 

 §f!¥f^ (Ketten.) Plant Pat. pending. This Rose 

 ^ > r T aristocrat is a delightful new shade of red, a 

 color not known in any other Rose. The beautiful, 

 long, streamlined buds are a burnt-carmine 

 tone and open to firm-petaled blooms which 

 do not fade but gradually change to a lovely 

 begonia-rose. When unfolding, the 25 petals 

 recurve to make a delightfully informal, 

 artistic flower with a hint of carnation fra- 

 grance. The plant is always unusually grace- 

 ful in growth and the foliage shows good re- 

 sistance to disease; the blooms come on Ion 

 stems and are fine for cutting. Visitors are 

 drawn to this Rose immediately by its new 

 and beautiful color. $1.50 ea.; 3 for $4.

 ^ V^T alage distinguish this rich scarlet Rose. Great, 

 streamlined bCl^JfJ^rfe c^ere(Q|:At,'ffiaking an ex-

 to its perfection; it is so fragrant that a small bouquet

^HIGHLAND PARK. H.T. (Mallerin.) The Chief 

 Rosarian of the Men's Garden Clubs of America chose 

 this Rose to be named for Highland Park, 111., and to 

 be a feature of the "Gardeners' Memorial" Rose- 

 garden there. That in itself denotes the quality of 

 this beautiful salmon-pink variety which produces 

 its fine blooms on vigorous, healthy plants. A really 

 choice Rose for those who appreciate delicate colors 

 and full-petaled varieties. $1.50 ea. ; 3 for $4,
