The Outstanding Rose Introduction for 1933 



NEW EVERBLOOMING SCARLET CLIMBING ROSE 



Shown in Colors 

 On Page 2 of Cover 



<( 



BLAZE 



Granted the U. S. 

 Plant Patent No. 10 



A seedling of two immensely popular roses, Gruss and Teplitz, and Paul's Scarlet Climber. Blaze possesses the free-blooming qualities 

 of Gruss and Teplitz — which is considered the most floriferous everblooming rose in cultivation — and the vigorous climbing habit, the beautiful 

 foliage and the extreme hardiness of the latter parent. 



Its color is brilliant scarlet. The flowers, which are produced continuously from June to late fall average about three inches across, are 

 slightly fragrant and have good lasting qualities. It is very desirable as a cut flower for it can be cut in long artistic sprays which are admir- 

 ably adapted for decorative purposes. Blaze carries the U. S. plant patent No. 10. 



Price 2-year-old field-grown dormant plants, supplied up to April 15th, $2.00 each. 2-year-oId pot-grown 

 plants, $2.25 each. Extra-size pot-grown plants, $3.00 each.
