(Right) Everyone will want this outstanding new everblooming Hybrid 
Tea for its own beauty and because it has been named for the First Lady of 
Television, Kate Smith, beloved in millions of homes across the nation. 
This lovely new Hybrid Tea Rose has clear rich apricot tones and a fragrance 
that is delightful. The form of the Rose is almost ideal, with its long bud 
and the slowly unfolding petals. It is the result of the successful blending 
of Golden Rapture, a beautifully formed Rose, and Ballet, also a beautiful 
Rose with a longer bud. It has retained the exquisite form and the well- 
leaved plants of the parents and has also developed a combination of fra- 
grance which is very distinctive. The 41% to 5!-in. flowers are very 
long lasting. In the garden, the plants grow vigorously and are heavily 
covered with foliage. It has proved a healthy grower 
in the East and West, and it bears promise of being 
one of America’s future show Roses. We feel that 
Kate Smith Rose is an excellent selection and that 
it will remain a great favorite with American gat- 
| deners for years to come. (PI. Pat. Applied For.)

ore (Left) The superb pure pink tone of the choicest 
Cattleya orchids has at last been captured in the 
gorgeous new Queen Elizabeth Rose, All- 
America Winner for 1955. This charming new 
variety is the first of a newclass, named ‘‘Grandi- 
flora’ for its abundance of bloom combined with 
the magnificent qualities of the Hybrid Tea. The un- 
hairs = usually clear, glowing blooms are a subtle blending of 
Queen Elizabeth soft carmine-rose and dawn-pink, majestically set off 
by deep green foliage. Because one of the parents is a 
Floribunda (Floradora) and the other a Hybrid Tea (Charlotte Armstrong) the 
flowers are carried both singly and in gay clusters. Now you can enjoy as many 
blooms as on a Floribunda, yet have the wonderful bud form, long-lasting larger 
flowers and magnificent cutting stems of the Hybrid Tea. (Pl. Pat. #1259.)
