JEAN COTE 
(Gaujard, France) 
Plant Patent applied for 
It is named for Jean Cote, wealthy silk industrialist 
of Lyons, France, great patron of the Rose. An 
opulent and fragrant Rose, large and full to the center, 
but of gracefully imbricated form. Clear orange- 
apricot, assuming toward the end an overcast of light 
carmine. A medium-growing plant producing steadily 
throughout the season. Flowers come singly and 
continuously on good stems but not broomstick-like, 
and the blooms wave gracefully with the breeze. 
The plant is of medium height and branching; a group 
planting literally blankets the ground. Large glossy 
foliage. A novelty of high standing, greatly admired 
in our test-gardens. Retails at $2.00 each. 
MRS. FRANCIS KING 
(J. H. Nicolas) 
Plant Patent No. 253 
All hybridizers agree that a good white Rose is 
hardest to produce. This probably is why such a 
connoisseur as Mrs. Francis King, one of the founders 
of the Garden Club of America, specified a white Rose 
as the one she wished to bear her name. She wisely 
wanted a Rose not easily duplicated. To make the 
problem more difficult, she requested “white gold” 
with the arcticness and vigor of the Alaskan Rose, 
Nutkana, the new strain developed in our own labora¬ 
tories. The bloom is very large and full, carried on a 
long upright stem, white drawing to pale gold in the 
center. It has the pleasing fragrance of wild roses 
and is a prolific, continuous bloomer. Certificate of 
Merit, Portland, 1937. Retails at $1.25 each.
