 Jlo^eA for 1951 



Three new Hybrid Teas from Francis Meilland, the originator of Peace and Good News. 

 We consider these three 1951 varieties to be our finest new H.T. introductions since 

 1945. Each is very different from the other, and very different from any other Rose of 

 the past. We are certain you will find them superior in many respects and unusually 

 interesting in every way. (See also front and back covers for more pictures. 



SUZON LOTTHE 



Plant Pat. ''34. Suzon's pcach- 

 colori'd buds hold their high, 

 peach-colored centers while row 

 after row of outer petals slowly 

 roll open to show their tints of 

 pearl-pink flushed with deeper 

 pink toward the outer edges of 

 the petals. Often the open petals 

 show a curious reverse-shadow 

 eilect — deepest pink where ex- 

 posed to the sun, pearly white 

 where another petal overlaps. 

 Form ol bud and bloom is su- 

 perior, witii tile sheen and smooth 

 texture as well as the coloring of 

 real pearls. Remarkably delicious 

 fragrance. Fine plants. 



$2.50 ea.; 3 for $6.25

HAPPINESS 



Plant Pat. 911. Brilliant, bril- 

 liant red! Its petals are un- 

 believably firm and heavy, like 

 highly polished dark red leather. 

 There is a coppery sheen to the 

 flaming red and it may be this 

 that gives the blooms their un- 

 usual brilliance. The flowers age 

 to crimson-carmine or roj'al rose- 

 red but do not blue. Very firm, 

 distinctive form, with the outer 

 petals curling to points in layer 

 after layer about the solid, 

 pointed center. This is already a 

 popular florist's Rose; garden 

 plants, when mature, produce even 

 better blooms. $2.50 ea.

SYMPHONIE 



Plant Pat. y5>S. Symphonic is 

 pink, but not like other pink 

 Roses. The color looks as if it 

 were made up of thin layers of the 

 luscious pink over a crystalline 

 silvery tint, with the veins of the 

 petals spreading a fine pattern, 

 like a silken net, of deepest car- 

 mine-pink. On the backs of the 

 petals, more of the silvery under- 

 color shines through, and often 

 the petals flash a slender thread 

 of silver on their edges. Blooms 

 are huge, with many broad, wavy 

 petals. Intensely, deliciouslv fra- 

 grant. Excellent plants, strong in 

 growth, free in bloom.
