| | Se - : es Nocturne (Plant Patent No. 713) Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
: F = All-America Selection for 1946. This new red Rose has one of the longest, 
most perfect, streamlined buds displayed by any Rose in its color. The 
color is bright cardinal-red with dark, deep intriguing shadings of chrysan- 
themum-crimson. The large petals have good substance, are richly textured, 
and there are plenty of them so that the flower lasts a long time. In hot 
weather the color becomes somewhat lighter. The blooms of NOCTURNE 
are pleasantly fragrant, although not approaching Mirandy in this respect. 
The stems are long, the foliage large, abundant, and semi-glossy. The plant 
air igys plenty of vigor and quickly grows into a big sturdy bush in the 
garden. 
Peace (Plant Patent No, 591) Each $2.50, Three $6.60, Doz. $26.40 
This Rose is almost unbelievable. One marvel of it is the dawnlike range 
of colors through which it passes, from opening 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 constantly 
fresh looking, its effect is always delicate and lovely. The individual petals 
are long and of great substance, gradually opening, a few at a time, 
around a high-pointed center, 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 succession, through 
various stages of opening and changing colors: canary-yellow, pale gold, 
cream, ivory and alabaster; edged cerise, rose or apple-blossom-pink. 
M. Meillarid, the hybridizer, has given the world many beautiful Roses, yet 
of this he says: ‘This is a rare discovery and only takes place once in the 
career of an originator.”
