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. Meilland, 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.” Each $2.50, Three $6.60, Doz. $26.40
