 'fvw Q ur ne Jd note on this rose says "Simply tre- 

 mendous. 



Each stem is one big bouquet of rich satiny 

 '^^ crimson-red, and the plant is covered with these masses of 

 bloom. Often there are as many as 20 or more individual flowers 

 on one branch, each bloom about 2j/£ inches across, with beau- 

 tifully ruffled petals forming a rosette. Just one of these flower 

 clusters is enough to make a bouquet, and in the house it will 

 hold as long as a week. On the plant, a head of bloom will last 

 even longer than that. 



The low, bushy plant has very large, leathery leaves, soft 

 mahogany-red when they first appear. It blooms repeatedly 

 through the summer, making a wonderful contribution to any 

 yard. A true bedding Floribunda with many uses in the landscape. 

 Will give satisfaction anywhere. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea.

/^$^ bunda that you will find most attractive 



^6& s as a landscaping plant. The flowers are 



not of the large show type, but they are a 



flashy contrast of colors and make bright 



bouquets for table decoration. 



At first soft chrome-yellow, the urn-shaped 



buds turn darker as they open, to a glowing 



orange-gold. Petals are edged brick-red, 



which later turns deeper magenta. The 



flowers are moderately double (about 30 



petals), with a light fragrance. Their color 



and shape last remarkably well. Eight-inch 



stems, some bearing only one flower and 



others clusters. Plants are rangy, medium 



tall, excellent as a medium border.
