Graceful, Gorgeous 
"M6 Talleta . 
Dozens of color combinations greet you as graceful, gorgeous Taffeta stages 
her summer show. Difficult to describe because colors are so changeable. 
At times an apricot or salmon and again a rose-pink. However, it is pre- 
dominantly carmine-rose in the bud stage changing to begonia-rose when in 
full flower. Loved because of its heavy production of perfectly formed, fra- 
grant buds on very long stems. The bud opens to a semi-double flower with 
about 20 well-textured petals and a pronounced fragrance. The glossy dark 
green leaves are enriched by the mahogany-red new growth. Has done well Tatteta 
all over the country. Plant Pat. No. 716. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, prepaid.

An All Time Great 
You'll marvel at the dawnlike range of colors through which this rose passes. a 
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 attractively 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 ail 
borne on heavy stems above the mass of glossy, holly- 
like 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

richly textured petals and last a long time. Stems are long, 
foliage large and luxuriant. You'll find this a big, sturdy, 
beautiful, bushy rose well adapted to all climates. Plant Pat.
