(J. H. Nicolas). (Retails $1.50 each.) A bedding rose 
of great activity, giving at all times a note of cheer in 
the garden. The long pointed buds are orange scarlet, 
contrasting pleasingly with the green sepals. The half¬ 
open bloom is a deep coral overcast with orange and 
the full bloom is large, 4 in. diameter, the inner petals 
being irregularly but artistically arranged. The bush is 
branching, so that when planted in mass, the whole bed 
is blanketed with glossy foliage upon which rest the 
many blooms. 
ECLIPSE—H.T.—Plant Patent No. 172. 
(Nicolas, 1935). (Retails $1.50 each.) The interna¬ 
tional sensation of the year, awarded prizes in Rome, 
Paris, and other test-gardens. Its long, streamlined 
bud, enhanced by ornamental sepias, is of rich gold 
without shading. Petals are large and tough, but 
not numerous, averaging 20 to 25, with more in the 
autumn. Speaking of this rose, a connoisseur re¬ 
marked ,“Elegance is preferable to opulence.” The name 
“Eclipse” came about because the seedling bloomed for 
the first time on the day of the total eclipse, August, 
1932, and it will go in commerce with the slogan, “It 
Eclipses ’em all.’’
