Here's a prolific bloomer to 

 add to the ever-growing list of 

 popular floribundas. Hardiness, freedom of bloom and 

 easiness of growth have made them outstanding-as a 

 flowering border or as individual specimens. Ma 

 Perkins brings a new color and a rich and unusual fra- 

 grance to this new class. The delightfully shaped buds 

 of deep salmon-pink with dashes of gold 

 and flushed with red open into soft coral- 

 pink flowers. Grows 2)4 or 3 feet tall 

 and from its parents (Fashion and Red 

 Radiance) inherits both ruggedness and 

 hardiness. $2.25 each; 3 for $6; $22.50 

 per doz.

The color of this lovely rose varies with 

 the weather, but characteristically it is a 

 blend of warm pink and luminous apricot, 

 which makes it sparkle. Often 6 inches 

 across, the fully opened flowers maintain 

 the rich warm color and combine it with 

 a spicy fragrance. The plant is tall and 

 bushy and so vigorous that it is seldom 

 without flowers or buds. $2.75 each; 

 3 for $7.25; $27.50 per doz.

 named for one of America's fore- 

 most rose growers. Sturdy and 

 upright, it provides long-stemmed 

 flowers for cutting from spring to 

 fall. The color is rich buff-yellow

 and pink, which holds well even 

 in extreme summer weather. 

 Blooms freely all season but es- 

 pecially well in the fall. Glossy, 

 deep green leaves. $2.50 each; 

 3 for $6.75; $25 per doz-
