GOOD ROSES

CREAM OF THE NEWER ROSES 



*FORTY-NINER. 1 1.T. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 

 ^^^ 792. One of the most brilliant of all bi- 

 6^M color Roses and certainly one of the most 

 ^^S- attractive. The color combination is rich 

 and pleasing, vivid orient-red with chrome- 

 yellow reverse, the yellow most evident in the 

 bud and seen as flashes of a "golden lining" in 

 the open blooms. 25 to 40 firm-textured petals. 

 Grand, vigorous, 3 to 4-foot plants with a 

 satisfying amount of I-)l<)()m. A showy variety. 

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



^SYMPHONIE. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 958. This lovely big fragrant pink Rose 

 has 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. Blooms 

 are huge, with 25 to 35 broad, wavy petals. 

 Intensely, deliciously fragrant. Excellent plants, 

 sturdy and free in bloom. Its first American 

 Rose Society "Proof of the Pudding" report 

 said, in part, "It is one of the best new Roses; 

 has very large blooms with silken petals, gor- 

 geous bud form, an intense fragrance, sturdy, 

 dark green foliage, a stately, majestic bush like 

 Peace and excellent vigor. . . It is a different 

 pink . . . even lovelier than the catalog de- 

 scription." $2 ea.; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.

^SUZON LOTTHE. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 934. 

 A Rose of great beauty, with the same sort of charm as a 

 pink camellia. The peach-colored buds hold their high, 

 peach-colored centers while row after row of outer petals 

 roll slowly open to show their tints of pearl-pink flushed 

 with deeper pink on the outer edges of the petals, becoming 

 pearly white where another petal overlaps. Form of bud 

 and bloom is superior, with the sheen and smooth texture 

 as well as the coloring of real pearls. Blooms are admirably 

 long lasting, almost as much so as Peace, with a heavenly 

 fragrance that is especially remarkable in a 

 pastel Rose. Plants are vigorous, with heavy 

 canes and strong stems, splendid for cutting. 

 Large, heavy, disease-resistant foliage. It is a 

 pearl of a Rose and very popular. $2 ea. ; 

 3 or more, $1.75 ea.
