* TORCH SONG. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. App. 
For. This is a brand-new color in Roses . . . ever see 
anything like it before? There’s a smoky flame quality 
about it, or a red-hot-poker vitality, which makes the 
Rose glow with inner fire. To the eye, the sultry Torch 
Song has a kind of magnetic attraction, and as you 
look more closely, you see the reason why. The bud 
is arich vermilion and opens to a lighter, brighter 
glow on the inside with a deeper, smoky reverse. 
In the fully open bloom, the 35 to 45 petals 
making up the high-centered flower. curl loosely 
outward in the most debonair manner, exhibiting 
its gorgeous blood-orange-red color. Such blooms 
held singly on medium long stems and coming 
freely and continuously on the bush are a show- 
stopping sight. Add a well-defined but delicate 
fragrance to this flame-and-smoke beauty and 
you realize its tremendous appeal. The well- 
branched bush grows vigorously to medium 
height, with leathery leaves and fern- 
green canes to round out its 
richness of character. Torch 
Song is a real sensation! $2.50 
ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.

which delineates the edges. What, in a Rose, could be 
more fetching, or more desirable? Such huge, luminous, 
shimmering blossoms come one to a long stem, and the 
enormously vigorous plant bears them, not as you might

blooming style! Each flower has from 60 to 65 large 
petals which roll outward in the most handsome manner.

by a strong and memorable fragrance. The plant? This,

upright, is tall, well-branched and bushy, with very 
strong canes and well-distributed, large, leathery leaves.
