VIVID, DANCING FLORIBUNDAS 



FIRE KING 



Floribunda. (The House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 1758. A brilliant deep orange- 

 /^^ red Floribunda that never fails to win admiring 

 ^^* comments. These neat-looking, perfectly formed 

 buds and flowers come in big clusters, and the plants are 

 exceptionally \igorous. The fragrant blooms are of me- 

 dium size, with about 45 thick petals. They are excellent 

 for cutting and very long lasting. 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. 



$3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



Floribunda. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 



2885. Pretty as can be — each plant 

 /^fcy a bouquet of pink. Dainty pointed buds of deep rose 

 ^«3-* color become clear soft pink flowers with a deeper 

 pink center, their satiny petals gracefully rolled at the 

 edge. They are borne in clusters of 7 to 9 on strong stems 

 and are slightly fragrant. An erect, bushy grower often 

 over 33/2 f^et high, well branched and fully covered with 

 bright green leaves. Blooms in profusion and is a nice 

 rose to cut for informal arrangements. Makes a fine hedge. 

 $3.50 ea. — 3 or more, S3. 20 ea.

 Landscaping Plans 



These extra bushy, extra free flowering, extra 

 useful roses look well in many locations ... as a 

 l(jw border or tall hedge (depending on the kind), 

 edging a walk or driveway, as a friendly fence. They 

 should be chosen and planted like any other flowering 

 shrub. Combine them with your other roses, or put them 

 to work primarily to liven up your landscaping . . . you can't go 

 wrong with Floribundas. 



These are easy-going plants that perform well all through the 

 growing season. Many have beautifully formed flowers — all have 

 plentiful, colorful ones . . . "flowers in abundance," as the name 

 Floribunda proclaims. Buy good plants, treat them fairly and 

 they will thrive for years.
