IT’S FUN 
TO BE 
DIFFERENT 
It’s always fun to buy a new 
rose—and, of course, any rose 
that you have never grown 
yourself is new to you. So 
when you need the spice of 
something new, consider such 
roses as Lady Elgin or 
Colorama or the ethereal 
Lady X. 
Colorama is a very or- 
namental plant in the garden, 
and the two ladies—X and 
Elgin—are great for exhi- 
biting. These and other “fun” 
roses will delight you. 
Polynesian Sunset (not illustrated) 
Hybrid Tea. (Boerner.) An exotic rose for those who want 
large flower size and brilliant color above all else. The color is 
deep rich coral, gradually becoming coral-orange, with a 
warm, iridescent glow that lights up the entire bloom. 
Exquisite buds and huge flowers—up to 6 inches in diameter. 
They are fully double but with an open center and a touch of 
yellow at the base. Long, strong cutting stems hold the blooms 
proudly. A heady, fruity scent seems the final touch to suggest 
the tropics. 
Reddish foliage turns glossy dark green. Hardy and vigor- 
ous, the plant produces long-lasting blooms you will love. 
Plant Pat. 2530. 
$3.90 ea.—3 or more, $3.65 ea. 
Lady X 
Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Delicate soft lilac- 
lavender, with 60 petals, lightly perfumed. Blooms are exqui- 
sitely modeled, with the high pointed center and lasting ability 
that wins blue ribbons at the shows. 
You can enjoy these lovely roses in your garden too. We 
have had glowing reports of the way Lady X grows. It’s 
unusually tall for a Hybrid Tea and keeps blooming all season. 
Every satiny flower is of perfect form. Very vigorous and 
hardy. Try your luck with it at your closest rose show. Plant 
Pat. 2691. 
$3.90 ea.—3 or more, $3.65 ea. 
LADY ELGIN 
Lady Elgin 
Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Warm and inviting, 
Lady Elgin is a rose of top exhibition quality. The buds are 
medium long, very well formed and of fine texture. Rich deep 
orange, they open to slightly lighter apricot, becoming a blend 
of butterscotch and apricot. 
The blooms are large and solid, with 35 to 45 big firm 
petals. The color remains vivid for the entire life of the bloom. 
The bush is tall, strong and upright, with sea-green leaves to 
highlight the rich color. Subtly perfumed and marvelous for 
cutting. 
A Pennsylvania gardener reports on Lady Elgin: “The out- 
standing rose in my garden. Considering the variety and quali- 
ty of the other roses, this is a compliment par excellence.” We 
are pleased to hear testimony like that and to pass the good 
word along. 
$3.90 ea.—3 or more, $3.65 ea.
