FASHION 



EUROPEANA 



Floribunda. (Boerner.) This is a most refreshing color that 

 holds well and ahvays looks alluring. A classic, Fashion is one 

 /^^ oi the most beautiful of all Floribundas. Its color is a distinctive, soft 

 *~4^5 coral-peach-pink combination that livens the bush. The oval, deep peach 

 buds open slowly to 3 to 33^-inch blooms of fine form and substance. Lots of 

 quite fragrant blooms. Fashion grows vigorously to about 3 feet in height 

 and has good disease-resistant foliage. 



$2.75 ea. — 3 or more, S2.40 ca. 



/ /^i//^ n/^t^Tn/^T Floribunda. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 2885. An excellent 

 l/i/fl /y(/i / /iv / rose that is an appropriate memorial for the hybridizer 

 '^^ known for the many wonderful Floribundas he produced. It has clear 

 ^•^^ soft pink flowers with a deeper pink center, borne in clusters of 7 to 9 on 

 strong stems. The dainty pointed buds are deep rose in color, and a plant with 

 buds and blooms in various stages of opening is a most delightful picture. The 

 satiny petals are gracefully rolled at the edge. This is a tall plant, often over 

 33^ feet high, well branched and fully covered with bright green foliage. A 

 bush in bloom is a big bouquet of pink — a lovely adornment for any garden. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, S3. 10 ea. 



Floribunda. (G. de Ruiter.) Plant Pat. 

 2540. A true landscape or bedding 

 Floribunda that \\'ill give complete satisfaction any- 

 where and will thrill you with its energy and per- 

 sistence. This superb Floribunda is an ambassador of good- 

 will from its native Holland and is gaining more and more 

 admirers every season. Its enormous trusses of bloom are 

 very heavy and full of color and life. The cupped, satiny 

 red flowers, about 23^ inches in diameter, have 25 to 30 

 beautifully ruffled petals, cheery and bright. They are 

 carried in large compact clusters of 15 to 20. You might 

 think that the entire strength of a plant would be needed 

 to produce just one such stem — but several clusters are 

 borne on each low, compact bush. And they last and last, 

 both outdoors and when brought into the house where one 

 bloom cluster stays fresh for a week. Foliage is very large 

 and leathery ... at first a soft mahogany color, later be- 

 coming dark green. The plant quickly takes hold, making 

 itself at home and sending out its great clusters of buds 

 time after time through the hottest weather. Plant Europeana 

 now so you can enjoy it while it is still a newcomer. 

 Then listen to your neighbors exclaim over it !
