word for Floribundas 



fff/^ flf^/J Floribunda. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 

 I (//[/ Jlt/f^ 775^. In the Robert Pyle Memorial Garden at our 

 (g^ Garden Center No. 2 the bed of this brilliant deep orange-red 

 ^®^ Floribunda never fails to bring admiring comments from visitors. 

 Mr. S. B. Hutton, Sr., of our firm reports that on one plant he counted 

 as many as 124 buds and blooms. 



The neat-looking, perfectly formed buds and flowers come in big 

 clusters, and the plants are exceptionally vigorous. The fragrant blooms 

 are of medium size, with about 45 thick petals, regularly arranged and 

 are excellent for cutting. A grower in New Hampshire remarks on the 

 "carrying power" of Fire King's glowing color, and that's a good way 

 to describe it. Tall and uniform in growth and a steady producer. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



"The roses arrived in splendid condition. In all my experience with roses, I 

 have never seen better rose specimens. They were tremendous and we want 

 you to know we deeply appreciate your kindness."

 Floribunda. (Boerner.) Sunny yellow flow- 

 ers in showy clusters, becoming lighter as 

 they age. Fresh new buds keep renewing 

 the splashy yellow color as the cluster de- 

 velops. Flowers are very double, cupped at 

 first, gradually opening out to a width of 

 3 inches or so, with 45 petals. 



A dense, low, rather spreading plant pro- 

 ducing bloom in steady succession. Very 

 easy to grow and a nice reliable plant for 

 garden use. The flowers are not outstanding 

 in form or size and are not especially good 

 for cutting, as compared with Sunspot for 

 example, but they do come freely with little 

 coaxing. Hardy and disease resistant, Gold- 

 ilocks is a standard yellow Floribunda. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea.

 Floribunda. (Poulsen.) Plant Pat. 1919. 

 Another sparkling Floribunda to plant as 

 a hedge. Very free growing, bushy and 

 vigorous, reaching about 3 feet in height, 

 with abundant foliage resistant to disease. 

 Flowers in clusters of 5 to 12 are a flash of 

 colors — a yellow, an orange, a strawberry- 

 red, a pale pink will be shown all at one 

 time in a cluster. Each bloom is about 2 

 to 23^ inches across, solid and double, 

 with 30 to 35 petals. Light, spicy scent. 

 These rainbow flowers are long lasting 

 and freely produced, and a row of the 

 plants as a border is a bright and cheerful 

 sight. No reason why you can't cut the 

 blooms too, for a gay bouquet indoors. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea.

 Floribunda. (The House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 2140. "Magnificent in color and 

 general behavior" is the way one of our 

 customers in West Virginia describes this 

 rose. It's a peppy orange with a suggestion 

 of red, and with mimosa-yellow at the base 

 of the petals. 



This is an extra pleasing Floribunda, not 

 only because of its cheerleader color but 

 because of the lovely form of both buds and 

 flowers. They are of medium size but with 

 a high pointed center. Open blooms grad- 

 ually lose this form but they are attractive 

 at any stage. They have a light sweetbrier 

 perfume. Average height, very bushy, with 

 plenty of leathery foliage. 



$3.25 ea. — 3 or more, S3 ea.
