SINCERA 



THE BEAUTY FROM SPAIN 



H.T. (Camprubi) Plant Pat. 2055. Spain's most out- 

 standing originator of new roses, Carlos Camprubi of 

 Barcelona, has produced in Sincera what is certain to 

 become America's most satisfying white rose. I base 

 this statement on the valued opinions of experts around 

 the country who have tested this rose in their own 

 gardens. To a man, they say, "It's GOOD!" My own 

 knowledge of the rose makes me agree. Its blooms are 

 large and pure white ( the picture fails to show this 

 accurately). They have 45 or more petals and are sub- 

 stantial in bud and open flower. Long, straight stems 

 (exceptionally so) hold the flowers. They're just right 

 for cutting and exhibiting. The plant is vigorous, 

 growing to middle height in fine, upright fashion, and 

 looking in its way as decorative as the flowers. The 

 foliage is light green and disease-resistant. Thus in 

 Sincera, you have outstanding flowers — outstanding 

 plant — a great white rose. It is not fragrant, which is 

 a pity — but then, you can't have everything all the time. 

 $3 fa,; 3 or more, $2.65 ea.

Star Roses Proudly Presents 



SWARTHMORE 



To Commemorate the 100th 

 Anniversary of Swarthmore College 



H.T. (Alain Meilland) Plant Pat. App. For. It's 

 a pleasure to write about this fine new rose ... an 

 outstanding variety named to mark a great event in 

 the history of an outstanding college — its 100th 

 anniversary. Swarthmore, the rose, is a beautiful, two- 

 toned rose-red with excellent, high-centered form and 

 a splendidly vigorous plant. Bearing these lovely 

 rose-red flowers one to the long, strong stem, as 

 though proud to exhibit their delightful color and 

 form, Swarthmore is a garden ornament meriting 

 more than a casual glance. Each bloom, with 45 to 

 55 petals, and 4 or more inches across, is solidly 

 impressive; and the plant, producing the flowers 

 freely and continuously, is equally so. Its ivy-green 

 foliage decks out the many branches richly. Leaves 

 are large, thick, substantial. The plant is nicely 

 bushy. The buds? They, too, as the picture shows, 

 are large, long and pointed in the classic style. 

 Giving promise of the fine, outcurling flowers to 

 come, they are gracefulness personified. A light 

 touch of fragrance adds its special charm to Swarth- 

 more. The College could not have selected a more 

 fitting symbol of its "coming of age" in the world of 

 American education. $3 ea.; 3 or more, $2.65 ea.
