big Daddy 
Great blooms up to 4/2” are a very dark red and 
attract instant attention. The remarkably thick, 
wide, heavy petals give unusual substance to the 
huge flowers, making Big Daddy one of the 
greatest roses of all time. There is a rich velvety 
sheen to the petals which reminds one of the rich 
patina found on the choicest of old furniture. 
Beautifully formed, long-pointed buds last excep- 
tionally well after cutting. The fragrance is re- 
markable, sweet and exotic, yet having a penetrat- 
ing, spicy tang. 
The stems are long, strong, and with few thorns 
widely spaced, making the buds admirably adapt- 
ed for arrangements. A wealth of dark green 
foliage, leathery in texture, disease resistant, and 
quite ornamental, enhances the beauty of the 
plants. 
The bush is upright, heavy, vigorous in growth, 
well branched, shapely, and produces great num- ee 
bers of flowers all through the season. 2.50-ea. amon —_ : _

Gay Lady 
Cheerful Campfire scenes are recalled by 
the brilliant coloring of Gay Lady. There 
is a glowing sheen in the long petals that 
is truly inspiring. 
Long urn-like buds open to large flowers 
with a faint but hauntingly sweet frag- 
.rance. Good stems support the lovely 
P buds.

A strong, upright growth and unusual 
vigor makes the bush itself a beautiful 
shrub. The shiny, dark green leaves, un- 
derlaid with bronze tints on the upper 
surface and definitely rosy underneath, 
have exceptionally enduring qualities. Large and delicate- 
ly serrated, they are attractive enough to justify the plant- 
ing of Gay Lady even if there were no blooms. And the 
foliage is remarkably disease resistant. 2.50 ea.
