*SUN KING. H.T. fMcilland.) Plant Patent 1342. The first 

 aII-\-eIIo\v seedling ot Peace to be introduced. Its large, long-pointed 

 opening buds show a deep heart of rich chrome-yellow surrounded 

 by a halo of luminous, light yellow petal edges that curl back around 

 the high, furled center. The large blooms have 40 to 50 broad petals,

 hght, clean-looking flower, the vivid yellow making the light edges

^MiAIVII. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 977. Thisunusual Rose 

 has the most glorious and striking colors of any variety. Its gold, 

 orange and flamingo tones are brilliant and exciting, and entirely 

 difl'erent from any other Rose. Its form, in both bud and bloom, is 

 an added thrilL The buds are very long, of coppery 

 coral-red. Opening blooms are 4 ' 2 to 5 inches across, 

 with 25 to 35 very heavy petals and a lavish spkish 

 of colors. The long, sharply cone-shaped center is 

 flamingo, or Cf)ppery coral-red. Around it, the outer 

 petals roll back, like heavy gold brocade, marked 

 with exotic tints of orange-buff and salmon-orange. 

 Sometimes there are even brown tones — shades 

 found in iris but new for Roses. Its fragrance is 

 spicy-sweet. 



Miami has extraordinary beauty and it is most 

 unusual and striking. It is not, however, a kind we 

 recommend for everyone. It needs protection against 

 mildew in many parts of the country, and there are 

 other varieties that wifl bloom more with less care. 

 But f(jr Rose entliusiasts, and for those for whom 

 j^ something rare is worth while, Miami is superb. 



If $2 ea.; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.
