 I ()()(). All-Anu'rica award winner for 1952. 

 Golden yellow buds tinted light red open to 

 full bodied, 50-petaled blooms of rich buff- 

 yellow, lightl}' brushed with golden orange and pink. 

 It blooms freely and the long-lasting flowers keep 

 their color well. The plants are especially fine: bushy, 

 shapely and even in growth, full foliaged, vigorous, 

 reliably disease resistant and of medium height.

 proved that it does well in all parts of the country. 

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



*SUZON LOTTHE. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 934. A Rose of unusual 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 remark- 

 able in a pastel Rose. Plants are vigorous, with heavy 

 canes and strong stems, splendid for cutting. Large, 

 heavy, disease-resistant foliage. $2.50 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $2.20 ea.

 Plant Pat. 933 (Meilland.) 



This is a gorgeous new Rose, with buds 

 and blooms of midnight crimson vel- 

 vet, the "blackest" big red Rose to 

 date. It does not blue. Its form, as 

 well as its coloring, is exciting, with 

 30 to 40 petals, broad and heavy, and 

 a high, cone-shaped, handsome center. 

 It is richly, gloriously fragrant. The 

 plant is vigorous, so vigorous it tends 

 to throw some extra-tall blooming 

 canes without much regard for sym- 

 metry, at times. Good, disease-resis- 

 tant foliage. Those who have been test- 

 ing it report that it is unusually resist- 

 ant to blackspot and miIdew^ A truly 

 thrilling new Rose. $2.50 ea. ; 3 or 

 more, $2.20 ea.

From velvety black-red to pearly pink and white, 

 with golden yellow and flashes of orange and 

 vermilion, the three Roses on this page form a 

 colorful trio. It is the kind of collection where three 

 Roses are better than one, as each color sets off the 

 other. ( More than that, it is the kind of oflfer where 

 three collections would be better than one, if you 

 have room for 9 new Roses!) Plant them this fall 

 so you'll have that much done toward next spring's 

 bloom.
