ZULU QUEEN 
(Plant Patent No. 363) 
The darkest and one of the “‘blackest’’ of 
all Red Roses—a magnificent, dusky deep 
maroon, almost black in its recesses. The 
flowers are vety large and full-petaled. 
Large, dark green foliage on a stalwart, 
well-proportioned bush add to the all- 
round desirability of Zulu Queen. Of 
distinct vigor and beauty, the rich, velvety 
blooms never burn in the sun, holding their 
color admirably even in torrid weather. 
It has been impossible to produce sufficient 
plants to supply the demand for this rare 
Rose, and we urge you to order early if you 
wish to have Zulu Queen in your 1942 
garden. 
IBID no vigorous, hardy; grows 2 ft. tall. 
Blooms...the long, pointed buds open 
gloriously in their rich, deep 
tones; distinctly and delightfully 
perfumed. 
Generous. .each bloom proudly borne, singly 
on long stems. While not an 
exuberant bloomer, far from 
sparse. 
Color..... holds its deep hues throughout 
the life of the flower. 
$2. each; 3 for $5.; 6 for $10.
