^HELEN TRAUBEL. H.T. (Swim.) 

 Plant Pat. 1028. Here is a 

 dainty, Dresden-china beauty 

 of a Rose in its delicate and 

 lovely coloring, with a size and form 

 that are sheer elegance. Its one fault 

 is that the blooms are sometimes 

 larger than the stem can hold upright. 

 This is easily forgiven, however, 

 when one sees the length of the lovely 

 buds and the magnificence of the 

 plants. 



Buds and blooms are clear tints of 

 apricot and porcelain-pink. Buds are 

 very long and slender; blooms have 

 about 27 heavy two-toned petals, 

 the inside pink, the outside 

 apricot. Plants are superbly 

 tall and vigorous with big, 

 sturdy, long canes that pro- 

 duce a lot of bloom all season. 

 $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 

 ea. 



Note : Unless otherwise mentioned 

 Rose plants are of medium height
