MORE FINE FLORIBUNDAS 



Floribunda. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 1357. A gay and glorious Flori- 

 bunda. We have counted as many as 90 flowers at a time on one 

 plant. And not only at its first blooming period but repeatedly all summer long 

 Spartan is covered with bright clear deep coral blooms. They are as well formed 

 as any Hybrid Tea — each a perfect gem 3 to 33^2 inches across. Flowers are borne 

 both several to a stem and singly and are ideal for dainty arrangements. Fra- 

 grance is extra good for a Floribunda. The plant is tall and strong, reaching 2}^ 

 to 3 feet in height, with glossy foliage. If you have room for only a few Floribundas, 

 make sure one of them is Spartan. 



$2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



Floribunda. (Boerner.) A classic — one of the most beautiful of 



Floribundas. It has enjoyed acclaim from the time it first came out 



years ago, and although many other Floribundas of similar color have come 



and gone since then, Fashion continues to hold the high place it has earned. 



Its color is a distinctive, soft coral-peach-pink combination that livens the garden. 



It's a most refreshing color that holds well and always looks alluring. 



The oval, deep peach buds open slowly to 3 to 33/2"inch blooms of fine 



form and substance. Quite fragrant. Fashion grows to about 3 feet 



in height and has good disease resistance. Rich green foliage. The 



winner of many top prizes in international competitions and in local 



rose shows as well. 



$2.25 ea. — 3 or more, $2 ea. 



Floribunda. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 2299. These lovely 



. flowers have been compared to a gardenia. The bud 



is a creamy delight unfolding to a sparkling, crystal white bloom 



fully 4 inches across. Blooms are extraordinarily large for the 



class and come in profusion, in generous Floribunda style. Old-rose 



fragrance makes them all the more attractive. The plant grows to a 



height of about 2^ 9 to 3 feet and is well clothed in glossy green leaves. 



Beautiful as cut flowers, and so freely produced that you need not 



spare the shears. Cool-looking white flowers are especially welcome 



during the hot days of midsummer, and here is just the Floribunda 



that gives them. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



Floribunda . (The House 

 1^/// ofMeilland.) Plant Pat. 

 1672. Lavender roses are becoming more and 

 more popular . . . and Lavender Girl is one 

 of the best. Its luscious rosy lavender color is 

 rich and deep, and its lasting quality is very 

 good even in summer heat. Buds are ruby- 

 red, pointed, on sturdy stems. The spicy- 

 scented blooins reach as much as 3}^ inches 

 in width, with 35 to 40 petals to give them 

 substance and form. They are delightful for 

 cutting. The plant is low and bushy, with 

 excellent dark green foliage to accent the 

 color of the blooms. The diff'erent shades on a 

 bush at one time are extremely pretty, from 

 the ruby color of the buds to the lavender of 

 the open flower. If you have not yet become 

 acquainted with the lavender roses, this one 

 will be a fine introduction to them.
