Plant Patent No. 304

finest red Rose yet produced. Extraordinarily robust and hardy 
plant. Was selected as the official Rose to glorify the third 
millennium of the founding of Rome, the Eternal City. A red 
Dame Edith Helen but of larger size and opening well in all 
weathers. Heavy, ovoid, crimson bud, evolving into a large, 
very double bloom of superb form. The color graduates to a 
lighter tint toward the center. Very perfumed. Long stems 
for cutting. Open blooms have been likened to perfect green¬ 
house American Beauties. The flowers are long lasting on the

wet weather. Gold Medal, S. A. F., 1938. $15 dozen 
SIGNORA 
(Aicardi, Italy) 
Plant Patent No. 201 
Signora was raised on the 
Riviera where summers are long 
and dry. Its long bud is of a warm 
brownish orange, opening to a 
lighter tint toward a combination 
of mandarin and salmon. The 
bloom is double, but not crowded, 
and very fragrant. Close study 
reveals so many hues and such an 
everchanging iridescence as to de¬ 
serve the description of “the most 
polychrome” of all Roses. The 
plant is vigorous, branching, and 
tall-growing. A prolific bloomer 
—as many as thirty-one blooms 
have been seen on one plant at the 
same time, every one with a long 
stem for cutting. The foliage is 
unusually beautiful and immune 
to disease. Indispensable to those 
who grow Roses mainly for cut¬ 
ting. Gold Medals: Portland, 
1937 (scored highest rating of any 
1937 Rose); Colle Each $1.25
