ALEZANE. (Pl. Pat. No. 116). A unique 
color! Warm, rich apricot . . . dark in the bud, lightens as the flowers open. 
Prized for its profusion of bloom and hardiness. Blooms three weeks earlier 
than most. Enchanting in its unusual hues. E. A. Piester, curator of the Hart- 
ford Rose Garden, says ‘‘Alezane is the hardiest and most winter-resistant of 
the hundred of varieties in the Hartford Garden.’’ This hardiness and its very 
unusual color and earliness of bloom make a combination that is hard to beat. 
Alezane was the first variety to bloom in our new garden. 
$1.25 each; 3 for $3.15; 12 for $12.50. 
BRANDYWINE. (PI. Pat. No. 530.) Here is a rugged plant and a delicate 
yellow Rose to make your garden glow with warm sunshine. Tall and strong 
and rugged as the patriots of old. Handsome large pointed buds, lovely for all 
kinds of bouquets. In a delightful shade of buff-yellow, the sleek buds open 
slowly and finish light yellow. The soft subtle color tones set Brandywine 
apart from all other yellow Roses. It has a deep tawny sheen that softens the 
yellow petals, but becomes brighter as the blooms develop. Plants are vigorous 
and so reliable! Plant Brandywine this spring and enjoy one of the finest yellow 
Roses in your garden all summer. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75; 12 for $15.00.
