Peace (U. S. Plant Patent No. 591) Each $2.00 
This Rose is almost unbelievable. One marvel of it is the 
dawnlike range of colors through which it Passes, from open- 
ing yellow buds, each petal edged with pink that seems to 
deepen as the flower slowly opens. The shades of color vary, 
too, from flower to flower and through the changing seasons. 
Though the bloom is unusually large, long lasting and con- 
stantly fresh looking, its effect is always delicate and lovely. 
The individual petals are long and of great substance, grad- 
ually opening, a few at a time, around a high-pointed cen- 
ter, to a great, golden hearted, very double, fully open 
flower. The plant is as superior as the bloom, and in the 
same large-scale way. The flowers are borne singly on 
heavy stems so strong and straight. It needs no disbudding 
to produce exhibition blooms which hold their form and 
freshness longer than other Hybrid Teas. The flowers last a 
long time and they are produced all season in endless suc- 
cession, through various stages of opening and changing 
colors: canary-yellow, pale gold, cream, ivory and alabaster; 
edged cerise, rose or apple-blossom-pink. M. Meilland, the 
hybridizer, has given the world many beautiful Roses, yet 
‘ Sian of this he says: “This is a rare discovery and only takes place 
Mme. Chiang Kai-shek once in the career of an originator.”’ ‘

The introduction of this grand Rose is an important milestone in the 
Production of better red Roses. Competent judges who have seen the 
elegant red Rose in bloom, rank it high among the best of its color, 
The bright vermilion buds are long and pointed, opening into fully 
double flowers of vermilion-scarlet. In addition to the elegant form and 
brilliant color, SAN FERNANDO has. another outstanding quality— 
intense and lasting fragrance. The vigorous growth, fine foliage, bril- 
liant color and pointed form are sufficient qualities to recommend any 
Rose, but when you add the spicy old rose fragrance to these qualities, 
it can be truthfully said that San Fernando, the new red Rose, will be 
among the leading varieties for a long time to come.
