Highlights for 1946 


through which it passes,’ from opening yellow buds with edges 
picoted cerise, to glorious 5-inch blooms of firm alabaster-white, 
each petal edged with pink that seems to deepen as the flower 
slowly opens. Though the bloom is unusually large, long-lasting 
and constantly fresh-looking, its effect is that of delicate and 
almost ethereal loveliness. The individual’ petals are large and 
of great substance, gradually opening, a few at a time, around 
a high-pointed center until the fully open, very double flower 
shows a great center heart of tawny yellow. 
The crowning miracle of this wonder Rose is that the plant 
Is as superior as the bloom, and in the same large-scale way.

This Rose is sensational. One marvel of it is the range of colors: 
(MME. A. MEILLAND) 
Plant Patent No. 591 


The flowers are borne singly on stems so strong and straight 
they are a joy to see, lifting the blooms proudly above the mass 
of vigorous, shining, holly-like foliage. It needs no disbudding 
to produce exhibition blooms which hold their form and fresh- 
ness much longer than other Hybrid Teas. We have found them 
lasting an unbelievable time, and they are produced all season in 
glorious succession, so that even a single plant will show, at one 
time, bloom in various stages of opening and changing colors— 
canary-yellow, pale gold, cream, ivory and alabaster-white, cerise, 
soft rose, apple-blossom-pink, and finally, a soft pink-lavender.

Bristol's BrilliantNew'Storm King" PomponChrysanthemun 
FRED F. ROCKWELL (Patent applied for) 
Briefly, it is the most gorgeous blending of bronze and orange- 
scarlet tones ever seen in a Pompon. Amazingly prolific, the 
strong, branching, 2-foot plants often carry 75 or more sym- 
metrically perfect flowers to a single spray and several sprays 
to a plant. 
Without a growing fault, the plant in itself is a thing of 
beauty in its lusty, vigorous appearance. We have seen none 
better. In full flower early October, it is remarkably frost resist- 
ant, retaining its brilliance long after many others are destroyed. 
This dazzling new Pompon, we believe, is destined to be an 
all-time favorite—a credit to one of the great names in horti- 
culture and another distinctly worth-while addition to the many 
notable introductions from Bristol. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.75; 12 
for $10.00.
