• IY10JAVE. II.T. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 1176. (Sec hack 

 -^^ cover.) A glorious harmony of coppery orange and 

 ffwKJ flame! The pointed buds are orange-red; the beautifully 

 v 3»" urn-shaped opening blooms are glowing copper-orange. 

 A flush of flame or deep coppery rose spreads slowly over the 

 inside of the petals as they fully open. It is a winner all the 

 way. 20 to 25 petals; sweet fragrance. Handsome, upright 

 plants of medium height with very heavy, leathery foliage. 

 Disease-resistant, free in bloom, it is a glamour Rose on a work- 

 horse plant. $2.75 ea.; 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



*SUN KING. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. I $42. (See back cover.) This is tin- lust 

 all-yellow seedling of Peace to be introduc- 

 ed. Large, long-pointed opening buds show 

 a deep heart of rich chrome-yellow with a 

 halo of luminous, light yellow edges on the 

 outer petals as they open. This halo or 

 frosting of light-reflecting petal tips is held 

 throughout the life of I he flower. 



The high, furled centers of the opening 

 blooms become a glowing, vivid lemon- 

 yellow, or sometimes an even deeper golden 

 yellow. This makes a bright, light, clean- 

 looking flower, the vivid yellow making the 

 light edges look particularly fair and 

 luminous. 



Sun King plants are tall, 3 feet or more 

 in height, upright, with dark green, leathery 

 leaves that show good disease resistance. 

 Flowers have 40 to 50 broad petals and good, 

 strong stems; excellent for cutting, for gar- 

 den display and for exhibition. $2.50 ea.; 

 3 or more, $2.20 ea. 



• PRESIDENT EISENHOWER. H.T. 

 (Hill.) Plant Pat. 1217. This red Rose 

 happily combines beauty, charm and de- 

 pendability. Its rich, unfading, uniform 

 rose-red color is brilliant and lively. Large 

 buds open slowly to 4 to 5-inch, well-formed 

 blooms with 35 to 40 petals. It is free and 

 continuous in bloom, on upright, bushy 

 plants with sturdy canes, 2J^ to 3 feet tall. 

 The flowers last well, with strong, sweet old- 

 Rose fragrance, and always on grand, strong, 

 straight stems. $2 ea. ; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.

•Blanche Mallerin 



• BLANCHE MALLERIN. H.T. (Mal- 

 lerin.) Plant Pat. 594. This is that rare 

 beauty, a pure white, fragrant Hybrid 

 Tea Rose. It is the whitest white of all, 

 a gleaming, live, frosty white in both 

 bud and bloom. It also has the best 

 form of any white H.T., with long, long 

 buds and beautifully modeled blooms. 

 Its crowning grace is fragrance, since 

 perfume is a rare attribute of white 

 Roses. The blooms come on long stems 

 on upright plants of medium height. 

 30 to 35 petals. 



Blanche Mallerin was introduced 

 without any fanfare whatever and has 

 made its own way to become the most 

 popular white Rose we ever offered. 

 In fact, we had not supposed 

 a white Rose could be so 

 popular. Each year, we think 

 we have plenty, but never do. 

 We are growing more and 

 more, and trust that at last 

 we have enough, at least for 

 fall orders, this year! $2 ea.; 

 3 or more, $1.75 ea.
