WAR DANCE 



ady Elgin 



H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1469. 

 The brilliance of this apricot and 

 orange combination — a kind of red 

 or jeweler's gold — is admired by 

 everyone who has ever seen it. It 

 is amazingly beautiful, rich and 

 exciting. This color remains 

 throughout the life of the flower. 

 Huge, handsome blooms come on 

 long stems, which means good cut- 

 ting for the house. The petals, 35 

 to 48 in number, are large and form 

 substantial blossoms; and the bud, 

 like the bloom, has excellent form. 

 Lady Elgin's plant is sturdy, tall- 

 growing, upright and vigorous. The 

 foliage is lustrous green. This fabu- 

 lous beauty possesses another won- 

 derful asset ... it is delightfully 

 fragrant. All-in-all, Lady Elgin 

 provides for the gardener out- 

 standing qualities, not least of 

 which is fabulously brilliant color.

War Dance 



GR. (Swim & Weeks) Plant Pat 

 2017. Have you ever seen a hotter 

 red color — a color that blazes with 

 inner vitality? This is doubtless due 

 to the brilliance of the orange which 

 is so thoroughly mixed in with the 

 scarlet. War Dance will never be 

 overlooked, no matter where you 

 put it. You'll have high-centered, 

 double flowers with from 28 to 40 

 petals, one or several of them to the 

 stem, and each a good 4J4 inches 

 across. The petals are perfectly 

 aligned and the bloom a model of 

 attractiveness. It is at its marvel- 

 ous best when half open, and then 

 on to the full flower. The bush is a 

 vigorous one, producing heavy 

 canes, many branches and a wealth 

 of deep green leaves. Regardless of 

 weather, the color of the bright 

 blooms is pure-toned clear through 

 — a quality which all red roses do 

 not have. $2.75 ea.; 3 or more, 

 $2.40 ea.
