Floribundas Work Wonders 



fat. 2540. buch massive clusters of 

 (^^ bloom you never saw! Europeana is a great Flori- 

 ^^' bunda with a tremendous store of energy, pro- 

 ducing heads of satiny red flowers as velvety as plush. 

 Each compact cluster holds up to 20 or more individual 

 flowers — each one about 2J^ inches across, with 25 to 30 

 beautifully ruffled petals. Imagine such a cluster . . . 

 and then multiply that by eight or ten and you will have 

 some idea of a plant in its first flush of bloom in June. 



This bright, cheerful color has great lasting power. 

 Just one cluster makes a bouquet that holds as long as a 

 week. When hot weather comes, the plant keeps right 

 on blooming . . . not so spectacularly as in the spring, 

 but steadily. This is a true landscape or bedding Flori- 

 bunda that will give complete satisfaction anywhere. 



The bush is low, compact and rather spreading in 

 growth and is a beautiful sight as the first foliage is push- 

 ing out — a soft mahogany-red, like a Japanese maple. 

 Slowly it turns to a rich dark green, large, leathery and 

 healthy. This superb Floribunda has won many awards. 

 The latest is the Gold Certificate of Award at the Inter- 

 national Rose Test Garden in Portland, Oregon. We 

 wholeheartedly recommend it to you.
