• CONFIDENCE. II.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1192. 

 A peach-toned pastel Rose. Streamlined buds and 

 meat trumpets of bloom. $2 ea.; 3 or more, $1.75 ea. 



*SYMPHONIE. II.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 

 958. This lovely big fragrant pink Rose from the 

 originator of Peace was highly rated by the Amer- 

 ican Rose Society during its first year of testing. 

 It has also won the Gold Medal of the National 

 Rose Society of England, and other awards, here 

 and abroad. It is pink, but unlike any other pink 

 Rose. It is well called a symphony in pink, with its 

 countless different tints and shades making har- 

 mony together. Blooms are large, with many 

 broad, wavy, silken petals, intensely, deliciously 

 fragrant, on sturdy plants of medium height. 

 $2.50 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.20 ea. 



• Symphonie 



Here are three re- 

 cent Star Rose intro- 

 ductions of special 

 charm. Two are from 

 Francis Meilland, of 

 France, the originator 

 of Peace. The third, 

 Pennsylvanian, new 



this year, was produced by 

 our own George Ohlhus, who 

 is in charge of the Rose 

 growing at Star Roses.

•PENNSYLVANIAN. H.T. (Ohlhus.) Plant 

 Pat. 936. A Rose of delicate apricot-orange 

 tints. Pointed buds and 4 to 5-inch blooms with 

 25 to 30 petals and more petaloids clear to the 

 center. Good form in both bud and bloom: as 

 smooth and sophisticated in form as in its 

 dainty, pastel coloring. Color deeper in fall. 

 Fragrant. Upright plants of medium height 

 practically cover themselves with bloom in 

 spring and fall. In fact, it is 

 one of the most free flowering 

 of all Hybrid Teas, with the 

 blooms often coming in clus- 

 ters. It calms down con- 

 siderably during midsum- 

 mer heat. $2 ea.; 3 or 

 more, $1.75 ea.
