KING MIDAS (Left) (Plant Patent No. 586) 
Longest-Blooming Hardy Yellow Climber 
So shimmering, so tegal, so glorious are the lovely, large Hybrid-Tea-like blooms of King 
Midas that in fancy one can almost see the mythical Persian King touch each red-flushed 
bud, transforming it and all it touches into living, limpid, yellow gold. Truly, this bles- 
sing of cheer- giving yellow that almost completely covers the plant for from three to six 
weeks will bring a blaze of golden glory to pillar, porch, pergola, trellis, fence, or brighten 
a corner of the yard, house or garage. 
You will treasure the King Midas with its modern, high-centered, tight buds and lovely, 
large Hybrid-Tea-like flowers, in clusters of four to six. Another creation of Dr. Nicolas 
and our own Department of Plant Research. There is no other like King Midas. Particu- 
larly hardy and vigorous, it will establish itself quickly and then produce brilliant splashes 
of color every year. Long canes 8 to 10 feet. Decorate 
your garden as you do your living-room. Climbers 
make a spectacular backdrop for masses of Flori- 
bundas.
