FANTAN 



Different — Unusual — 

 the Rose that's almost brown! 



★FANTAN. f I T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1913. One of the things that make life 

 interesting is the different or unusual. Where roses are concerned. Kantan is so 

 very out-of-t he-ordinary that we make a special effort to bring it to the attention 

 of the rose buff. Its color. Cor instance, is unlike anything yet seen in roses — a color 

 which does not seem to he the same to any two people. This, of course, makes for 

 interesting conversation when friends meet, in the rose garden. Fantan to some 

 people is a "Chinese coral," or "burnt orange," or "tan." It surely has an exotic 

 tropical or sub-tropical kind of beauty which, in the actual rose, is enhanced by 

 a rosy glow. As for other qualities, Kan- 

 tan is nicely endowed. The form is 

 cupped, the blooms being made up of 

 from 10 to 50 petals. Flowers are 

 inches across, and come plentifully on 

 the vigorous, shapely bush. There is a 

 very pleasant fragrance, too. Kantan 

 has already made many firm friends 

 among people who like unusual things. 

 Perhaps you will enjoy this most in- 

 teresting rose yourself. $3 ea.; 3 or 

 more. $2.65 ea.

★ LOVE SONG. H.T. (Fisher.) Plant Pat. 1360. Wonderful watermelon- 

 pink on one side of the petals, shining yellow on the other — that's Love Song, 

 the brilliantly gay bi-color rose that's such a big hit in America's gardens. 

 This is a very double rose which often has 100 or more petals, and you can 

 imagine how big the full-blown bloom is! The 

 vigorous, sturdy bush produces these beautiful 

 buds and blooms freely. Adding to Love Song's 

 lotal beauty is fine, waxy 

 foliage which decks out the 

 bush in grand style. With 

 all this it seems to be almost 

 too much to ask for fra- 

 grance . . .but that's what 

 you get with this one. $2.50 

 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.
