I am really 
proud to think 
that such a 
lovely Rose has 
been named 
after me.

Brilliant! Real 
“‘Fire-Engine Red’’! 
(Left) The brightest, reddest Rose you 
ever saw! A brilliant fiery scarlet that 
tivals the “‘reds’’ used by the great 
Venetian master, Titian—a flaming red 
that sparkles and glows like a precious 
ruby! And, unlike an ordinary red Rose, 
this deep blazing red really lasts... 
does not fade at any stage, from ex- 
quisite bud form right up until the last 
petals fold up and softly float away. 
And the flower itself is every bit as 
breath-taking as the color—full, 31% in. 
across, with beautiful ruffled petals. 
Even in extreme heat, these lovely red 
beauties keep their form and color, set- 
ting your garden ablaze all season and 
providing scores of cut flowers for ar- 
rangements and boutonnieres. The foli- 
age, too, is attractive. (Pl. Pat. #1197.)

(Above) Exquisite Ophelia-shaped buds 
of a translucent light Fashion color, 
graced by shades of red in the outer 
petals, make a startling change to grace- 
ful, cup-shaped, 314 to 4-in. blooms of 
sparkling coral-shell-pink. A suffusion 
of yellow is present 1n all of the early 
stages, until at the very end of bloom 
it finishes a soft shell-pink. This 
generous, free bloomer has excellent 
spring and fall flowers that never fade 
or lose their sparkle. The bushy, 2% 
to 3-ft. plant is strong and compact, 
with an abundance of rich green foliage. 
In addition to thriving under difficult 
conditions, Ma Perkins is highly re- 
sistant to diseases and insect pests. 
The fragrant, 25-petaled blooms appear 
in clusters and singly all season. Ma 
Perkins Roses make lovely bouquets,
