•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 espe- 

 cially 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.; 2 or more, $1.75 ea. 



• MIAMI. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 977. 



This is one of the most dramatically beautiful 



of all Roses, with gloriously different and the 



most striking colors of any variety. 



Its form, in both bud and bloom, is 



an added thrill. The buds are very 



long, of coppery coral-red. Opening 



blooms, with 25 to 35 exceedingly 



heavy petals, show a lavish splash 



of unusual colors. The long, sharply 



cone-shaped center is flamingo, or 



coppery coral-red. Around it, the 



heavy outer petals roll back, of 



brilliant, rich old-gold marked with 



orange-buff and salmon-orange. 



It is breath-taking. But it deserves and needs 

 good care, and if you are seeking the greatest 

 quantity of blooms per plant, you will probably 

 do better to choose some other varieties. If you 

 want to add the luxury of something extra- 

 special and dramatic, however, you certainly 

 should include Miami. $2 ea.; 3 or more, 

 $1.75 ea.
