DAINTY BESS. $1.00 each —

cup-yellow are produced on bushy plants with 
healthy foliage. Undoubtedly the finest yellow 
single Rose. 5 petals. Supply exhausted 
until fall 1945. 
DAINTY BESS. Pink. This already old fa- 
vorite owes its popularity to its delightfully m- 
formal appearance, and the silvery salmon-

outstanding wherever planted. 6 petals.

Similar in growth and habit to the Hybrid Teas, the Singles contribute a light and airy grace to the Rose-bed, 
while their elegant buds are ideal for boutonniéres. As subjects for cut-flower arrangements, they are unbeatable 
when cut in the bud and allowed to open indoors. Our appreciation of the value of this group and the increasing 
demand for the Single Roses has encouraged us to gather together and offer the largest collection of this type in 
the country.

tones and. develop shades of flaming orange- 
pink. One of the largest and finest single Roses.

less, glowing fiery crimson. Vigorous, free- 
flowering plants of bushy habit. Light green 
foliage of good Ieathery texture. Remarkable
