The great usefulness of Floribunda Roses is 

 becoming more and more appreciated. 

 Hardier than Hybrid Teas, they have the 

 same all-season blooming qualities coupled 

 with floxvers which approach them in range 

 of color and fragrance. 

 Particularly useful as low borders which 

 flower all summer long they are also excellent 

 for bedding — or as individual color accents 

 to break up bold masses of green. We have 

 selected the following eight varieties because 

 of their dependable habit of producing great 

 quantities of bloom on excellent, easily- 

 grown bushes. 



Crimson Rosette. Pat. 901. Brilliant crim- 

 son flowers expanding slowly, produced in 

 clusters on vigorous, free-blooming plants. 

 Each open bloom is like a perfect rosette. 

 §1.75 each; 3 for §4.75; §17.50 per doz. 

 Fashion. Pat. 789. An enchanting color, 

 luminous coral-pink overlaid with gold, which 

 softens to coral. The pointed buds open 

 slowly into perfectly formed roses with wavy 

 petals that possess a haunting old-rose fra- 

 grance. §2 each; 3 for §5.50; $20 per doz. 



Ma Perkins. Pat. 1143. 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 fragrance 

 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 3 feet tall and from its 

 parents (Fashion and Bed Radiance) in- 

 herits ruggedness and hardiness. §2.25 each; 

 3 for §6; $22.50 per doz. 



Pink Rosette. Pat. 902. Open sprays of 

 peach-pink buds with 50 shell-like petals, 

 becoming perfectly formed blooms. Extra 

 strong plants. Blooms continuously. §1.75 

 each; 3 for §4.75; §17.50 per doz. 



Pinocchio. Pat. 484. Buds are salmon suf- 

 fused with gold, becoming soft, clear pink as 

 the 30-petaled flowers expand. Height 2 feet. 

 $1.50 each; 3 for $4.15; §15 per doz. 



Summer Snow. Pat. 416. A beautiful pure 

 while Floribunda with 3^-inch flowers in 

 clusters on 2-foot plants. $1.50 each; 3 for 

 §4.15; §15 per doz. 



Vogue. Pat. 926. This 1952 All-America 

 Winner has already received several gold 

 medals both in this country and abroad. 

 It is related to the famous variety Fashion, 

 and it introduces a new color — an intensive 

 cherry-coral. The flowers have the perfec- 

 tion of a high-centered Hybrid Tea rose 3 

 to 4 inches across. Fragrance is most de- 

 lightful. The plant is vigorous and upright, 

 and besides its desirability in the rose garden, 

 it is ideal for use in the foreground of founda- 

 tion plantings. §2.25 each; 3 for $6.10; 

 §22.50 per doz. 



World's Fair. Pat. 362. Deep velvety red, 

 clustered flowers add brilliant patches to the 

 garden from June to frost. $1.50 each; 3 for 

 §4.15; §15 per doz.
