Yellow. Long, pale yellow buds open slowly to high-centered 
blooms of clear, clean, light yellow. It is a long-lasting flower

We believe this Rose has a future. Pat. pending. 50 petals. 
$1.50 each. 
ORANGE NASSAU. HT. Pat. 350. Bicolor. One of the most 
beautiful Roses ever introduced. The face of the petals is

PRESIDENT MACIA. HT. (M. Leenders & Co., 1933.) Pink. 
Imagine the longest rosebud you ever saw, of a lovely shade 
of pink, marked with heavy veins of darker pink, and each of 
the perfect buds on a splendid stem for cutting. If the buds 
never opened you would feel that you had a prize, but they do 
open—to great billowy blooms nearly 6 inches across. The 
face of the petals is pale flesh, warmed with a yellow flush 
toward the base, the reverse the rich pink of the buds. The 
blooms are fragrant with a fruity scent. Plants are strong and 
branching, with leathery foliage on reddish canes with red 
thorns. President Macia blooms all season. 25 petals. See in 
color on page 8. $1.25 each.

blooming freely, with 3}^-inch, nearly single flowers. The 
color is brilliant scarlet with an orange base, and the blooms

with good strong foliage which should be pruned only as neces¬ 
sary. A Polyantha filled with vigor and ability to bloom.
