Graceful, Gorgeous 
‘laggeta f 
Dozens of color combinations greet you as graceful, gorgeous Taffeta 
stages her summer show. Difficult to describe because colors are so change- 
able. At times an apricot or salmon and again a rose-pink. However, it is 
predominately carmine-rose in the bud stage changing to begonia-rose 
when in full flower. Loved because of its heavy production of perfectly 
formed, fragrant buds on very long stems. The bud opens to a semi- 
double flower with about 20 well textured petals and a pronounced fra’ © 
grance. The glossy dark green leaves are enriched by the mohogany-red e 
new growth. Has done well all over the country. Plant Pat. No. 716. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, prepaid.

You'll marvel at the dawnlike range of colors through which this 
rose passes. The buds are golden yellow etched with pink. As 
they open they turn from canary-yellow to pale gold, then to 
iridescent cream. Petals are edged with apple-blossom-pink that #@ 
deepens as the flowers slowly open to glorious 5-inch blooms. \§ 
The petals roll gracefully out to form a very double flower at- /§ 
tractively cupped and with a high-centered golden heart. Has § 
from 40 to 45 large petals. The fragrance is delicate. The plant 
is vigorous and disease-resistant. Flowers are borne’ on heavy stems 
above the mass of glossy, hollylike foliage, and are produced in 
glorious succession until frost. Honors: ALL-AMERICA for 
1946, and many others. Plant Pat. No. 591. $2.00 each; 3 for 
$5.00, prepaid.
