★ROYAL VELVET 



PERFECTA 



More amazing than the seashell! 



★PERFECTA. H.T. (Kordes.) Plant Pat. 1604. The lovely 

 suffusion and blending of cream and rose-red as seen in Perfecta 

 is delightful! And it must be seen in the garden to be appreciated 

 to its utmost. The blooms are big, the full flowers are high cen- 

 tered, the long steins are right for cutting. Coining, as they do, 

 on a very good-looking bush that is superbly vigorous and covered 

 with rich, heavy foliage, such flowers are a dream to look at . . . 

 irresistibly charming. Now add a delicate and pleasing kind of 

 fragrance and you have, in Perfecta, a rose of exceptional quality. 

 It is not difficult to understand Perfecta's popularity last year in 

 this country, and before that in Europe. Why not enjoy its beauty 

 in your garden? $3.50 ea.; 3 or more, $3.10 ea.

ROYAL VELVET 



Richer than Croesus! 



★ROYAL VELVET. IT.T. (Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 1911. Like a mammoth ruby 

 of immense value, this rose is richness 

 personified! Picture row on row of thick, 

 red velvet petals — as many as 65 to the 

 bloom — and you get an inkling of the 

 magnificent massiveness of Royal Velvet. 

 Its rich red neither fades nor "blues," 

 remaining true throughout. Royal Velvet 

 is tall growing and has strong canes and 

 good foliage. It's a vigorous plant and 

 produces the enormous flowers freely. 

 Most people will not mind Royal Velvet's 

 inclination to nod its head at times, es- 

 pecially when rain-heavy. After all, it's 

 so big and solid! Worth its weight in 

 rubies! §2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.
