NEW and 

 TRULY WONDERFUL! 



★ FASCINATING. H.T. (Fisher.) Plant Pat. 

 1945. This rose by any other name — would 

 be less well named, for it IS fascinating! As you 

 look at its suffused and blended crimson and 

 empire yellow, you cannot help being enthralled, 

 and you wonder at that quality in Nature which 

 allows such miracles to be performed. In the 

 spring and fall when nights are cool, these colors 

 are exceptionally sharp and striking; but at all 

 times there is a surprisingly steady beauty in 

 this combination. The bud is long pointed and 

 opens in the airiest kind of gracefulness to a 

 shapely, high-centered flower which is nearly 5 

 inches across and has more than 25 substantial 

 petals. These are thick and leathery, and at the 

 same time satin-soft and silk-shiny . . . sub- 

 stance combined with fineness. The plant is free 

 blooming, producing one flower to the stem 

 usually, but often with two, three or four. It 

 grows upright in bushy style and has large, glossy 

 leaves. Fascinating is not a tall-growing rose; 

 and is, therefore, fine for the front row, especially 

 with that wonderful color. To put icing on the 

 cake— this multi-color beauty is also fragrant! 

 Fascinating takes a little more care to brinj; it 

 to its finest — but it's worth every bit of it!
