Novelties and Recent Roses 
ie PRESIDENT MACIA. HT. (M. Leenders 
yo & 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. Fruity scent. 25 petals. 
$1.25 each.

Sons, 1937.) Pat. 335. White. An ex-
