McGREDY’S SUNSET ‘3335 
The large, exquisite, very fragrant blooms of McGredy’s Sunset 
win wholehearted admiration at every stage—as the long life of 
the flower progresses very slowly from the artistic bud to the full ( 
open flower of fine symmetrical petals—always graceful, always 
lovely. In fine Rose gardens from coast to coast this is orie.of 
the most loved of all the McGredy Roses. Tinted with delicate 
orange and rich scarlet, the saffron blooms open in glorious 
grandeur and hold their perfect form long after cutting. The 
generous plants are so bountiful in bloom that they liven the | 
garden with their golden hues, and at the same time provide 
anes flowers for cutting. All summer and fall in our gardens, ' 
and particularly during the Festival of Roses, it is always 
interesting and gratifying to see how many thousands of guests 
are instantly attracted to our plantings of McGredy’s Sunset— 
and to hear their enthused exclamations of pleasure.
