Pink. This great, continous-blooming Rose was named in honor of the 
daughter of the Governor of Pennsylvania. It has compelled attention 
in our trial-grounds, where we had it under observation for three years, 
because of its excellence in every way. This two-tone beauty opens from 
an ovoid bud of carmine-rose toa great 50-petaled bloom of soft chamois-pink. 
A dependable all-summer bloomer that repeats its blooms during July and 
August when most other Hybrid Teas are resting after their June effort. 
The plants are furnished with disease-resistant, holly-like foliage. The cut 
blooms can be kept for a week or more indoors.

Multicolored. Lovely buds of Turkey-red and golden yellow open to 
blooms of 20 to 30 petals. The outside row of petals becomes light Tyrian 
rose and makes a lovely collar for the inner petals of soft golden yellow—a 
charming color combination. The petals are heavy textured and the blooms 
are President Herbert Hoover type, with alluring, rich, attar-of-rose 
fragrance. This beauty has been referred to as ‘‘the Rainbow Rose”’ for it 
presents so many colors in its different stages of development. It is lovely 
always, from opening bud to full-blown bloom. A splendid Rose for 
bouquets.

o FLASH 
H.C. (R. M. Hatton, 1938.) 
An ‘‘All-American Rose Selection.'’ Patent applied for. Luminous 
orange-scarlet. In this Hardy Climbing Rose we have a glowing flashing 
color unmatched by any other Rose we know. The name is descriptive of 
the shimmering color but does not mean a ‘‘flash’’ duration of bloom, for 
the flowers open daily for several weeks, beginning early in June. The 
petals are vivid orange-scarlet with backs of yellow, suffused with scarlet. 
The center of the flower is gleaming yellow and filled with golden anthers. 
Buds are yellow with scarlet suffusion giving a suggestion of the dazzling 
blooms that are to follow. Gold Medal, Rome.
