^ / Floribunda. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2140. A bright, peppy 



Zjw///'i//U' orange with a suggestion of red, and with mimosa-yellow at the base of 

 the petals. This is an exceptionally pleasing Floribunda, not only because of its cheer- 

 leader color but because of the lovely form of both buds and flowers. They are of medium 

 size but with a high pointed center, as shown in the illustration. Open blooms gradually 

 lose this form but they are attractive at any stage. They have a light sweetbrier perfume. 

 The plant is average in height — very bushy, with plenty of leathery foliage. Another fine 

 choice for a border or bed — for example, along a driveway or walk. With some low dark 

 evergreens as a background, this colorful Floribunda is a picture. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.
