CYNTHIA BROOKE 
(Plant Patent No. 551) 
A precious new Rose of surpassing loveliness and perfume, in 
an entirely different color combination. This gem from the 
famous McGredy’s, of Portadown, Ireland, is interesting to the 
point of fascination at all stages. The rounded bud is salmon- 
orange. When the petals unfold, the inside reveals a rich con- 
trasting golden-yellow. As the flowers develop, the colors 
soften to a combination of pastel shades, finishing a pinkish- 
orange on the outside of the petals and a buff-yellow inside— 
truly a picture! There is distinctive charm in the meticulous 
unfolding of the 45 beautiful petals in an intricate and perfect 
design. Vigorous, hardy, and a plentiful bloomer—all summer, 
too.

SONATA 
(Plant Patent applied for) 
All the delicate tones and vibrant harmony of a musi- 
cal masterpiece seem somehow to have found living 
expression in the exquisite form, enticing aroma and 
sparkling color of this one Rose. Sonata is truly as 
beautiful as a symphonic melody. A cochineal-red in 
spring and fall, in summer lightening to unusual hues 
of deep, lively pink. In lovely contrast, the outside 
of the petals is several shades darker than inside. The 
large flowers are perfectly shaped, opening gradually 
and artistically from long, pointed buds of intense 
cochineal-red. The foliage is abundant and very dark 
green, contrasting beautifully with the flowers 
and completing the charm and artistry of the entire 
plant. Growing proudly erect on long, strong stems, 
Sonata blooms abundantly from spring to fall, grac- 
ing your garden with ample color and providing a 
generous supply of cut-flowers.
