SUSPENSE

 colorful lieauty is the most dramatic of roses. Opening from 

 a solid yellow hud to a red and yellow and then a lull n open 

 red (lower. Suspense makes use of its brilliant red petals 

 with their yellow undersides to create for yon a remarkable 

 and exciting color effect. Enormous size and bright color 

 combine to produce a garden sensation. The tall, strong, 

 good-looking plant has thick canes which hold the magnifi- 

 cent lloweis high. There is a velvet touch to the petals — 

 5.") to 60 of them making up the 6-inch flower — and an im- 

 pression of richness which is present also in the foliage, 

 dark green and plentiful. 1 think of Suspense as a man's 

 rose . . . ruggedly handsome — hold . . . which is, perhaps, 

 why the ladies like it, too. In both house and garden, Sus- 

 pense is "something to talk about!" $3 ea.; 3 or more, 

 $2.65 ea.

 sense of smell as well as of sight ... its fragrance is 

 very pleasant. $3.50 ea.; 3 or more, $3.10 ea.
