"BLAZE' ' 



U. S. Plant 

 Patent No. 10 



A seedling of two immensely popular roses, Gruss an Teplitz, 

 and Paul's Scarlet Climber. Blaze possesses the free-blooming qual- 

 ities of Gruss an Teplitz — and the vigorous climbing habit, the 

 beautiful foliage and the extreme hardiness of the latter parent. 



Its color is brilliant scarlet. The flowers are produced in succes- 

 sion from June to October and average about three inches across, 

 are slightly fragrant and have good lasting qualities. It is very de- 

 sirable as a cut flower, for it can be cut in long artistic sprays which 

 are admirably adapted for decorative purposes.

HENDERSON'S 

 HIGH QUALITY 



Pot Grown Garden Roses 



Many inferior grades of roses are being 

 offered by unreliable dealers. Packaged, 

 waxed and other cheaply prepared dor- 

 mant plants are sold to garden lovers 

 at prices usually far in excess of their 

 actual value; there is no comparison be- 

 tween these and our pot-grown plants. 



Henderson's High Quality Roses are 

 produced in the same manner now as 

 they were 87 years ago. Our plants are 

 grown in the open field; they are potted 

 in the fall; they are well-rooted, and 

 shipped with a ball of soil around the 

 roots. They are easy to plant; they re- 

 ceive no check either during transporta- 

 tion or when transplanted. 



Plant Henderson's High Quality Pot- 

 Grown Garden Roses. It is the safe, 

 sane and sure way to rose satisfaction.
