FLORIBUNDAS have many flow- 

 ers usually in clusters. Smaller than 

 the H.T. but more colorful when 

 planted together. Make good 

 borders and low hedges. Bloom all 

 season — give a mass of color. 



POLKA 



FLORIBUNDA 



r «-«aT I RUMBA. Fl. (Poulsen) 



I 1^ li\% I Plant Pat. 1919. As peppy a 

 I 1^ B^ ~ 1 rose personality as can be . . . 

 poppy red and pure gold in a 

 mad riot of flashing, changing 

 color. You get a bushload of 

 devil-may-care flowers — 2 to 2^-inch buttons of 

 beauty — which come in rounded clusters on wiry, 

 medium-long stems. Abundant, continuous, long- 

 lasting (cut or uncut). Very vigorous, broad, 

 bushy, medium-height plant and fine, glossy 

 foliage. Spice-fragrant. I've seen this rose almost 

 from the time it was a glint in Mr. Poulsen's eye 

 . . . and now it makes mine sparkle with pleeisure, 

 Eis it will yours, for it is ready to brighten your 

 garden. $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.; 25 or 

 more, .$2 ea. 



LAVENDER GIRL. F1. (Meilland) Plant 

 Pat. 1672. Unusual! The intriguing lavender 

 color does not fade — even in summer's heat! And 

 it is a real lavender, too. It's a beautiful color . . . 

 ruby-red buds opening to the loveliest of rich 

 lavenders. Blooms are well formed and have 

 up to 42 heavy petals. The low, bushy plant pro- 

 duces the 3}^-inch blooms on nice long stems. 

 There is a perfume, too, which adds to the illusion 

 of "lavender and old lace." Of course, not every- 

 one likes lavender roses — but those who do will 

 find in Lavender Girl all that they desire. I, per- 

 sonally, like it less than my wife does. But she 

 loves it! The famous $5 rose, now only $3 ea.; 

 3 or more, $2.65 ea, 



Masses of 

 ¥fith these 



FIRE KING. Fl. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1758. One 

 -jg^ of the very brightest Eind best formed, red Flori- 

 ^!^P bundas there is! The deizzling flowers are extremely 

 long-lasting whether cut or on the bush. The plant 

 is tall-growing, shapely, vigorous — produces the 3-inch 

 flowers in clusters — £uid provides a spectacular garden 

 sight. It is easy to imagine Fire King planted as a hedge — 

 an immensely colorful one which takes and holds every 

 eye! $2 ea.; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.; 25 or more, $1,60 ea. 



POLKA. Fi. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1939. The clear, 

 lively pink which makes Polka so cheerful has already 

 made this fine, new Floribunda a favorite with many 

 gardeners. Because the flowers are a bit larger than most 

 in this class and come in generous clusters, they make a 

 wonderful display. Blooms have 40 to 45 petals and are 

 33^ inches across. The strong-growing, medium-height 

 pleuit always has them. A tea rose fragrance adds to 

 Polka's allure. I recommend it highly. $2 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $1.75 ea.; 25 or more, $1.60 ea.

Take advantage of the 

 ability of Floribundas 

 to provide striking and 

 highly colorful garden 

 effects. Plant them 

 in groups of no less 

 than three for a strong 

 spot of color. Use 

 them along walks or 

 as borders, using the 

 same variety for the 

 richest display.
