Floribunda. (Swim & Weeks.) 

 Plant Pat. 2792. Completely new 

 and different, Angel Face wins on personality. 

 '^^ Exquisite in shape and color, it's a never-to-be- 

 forgotten rose. Its dainty urn-shaped buds of warm 

 ruby-pink open to good-sized flowers of rich lavender 

 .softly edged ruby. Petals are wavy and scalloped, 

 forming sculptured blooms of perfect shape, about 

 3}/^ to 4 inches in width. Firm and lasting in tex- 

 ture, they are extremely attractive every day of 

 their life. One to several on a stem . . . nicely 

 perfumed . . . good to cut. Low and bushy, 

 blooming well all season. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.20 ea. 



Floribunda. (Fisher.) Plant Pal. 



2576. Rich butter-yellow buds 

 slightly tinged orange turn a bright, sunny 

 yellow as they open. These are fully double 

 flowers often up to 5 inches across — as large and 

 attractive as many Hybrid Teas and with a light, 

 fruity fragrance. The graceful yellow blooms liter- 

 ally blanket the entire plant. 



The bush grows rather upright but at the same 

 time mound shaped, and is covered with light green 

 leaves. Fine for massing and border planting. We 

 rate Sunspot as the best yellow Floribunda to date. 

 Both its size and its color are extra good. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea.

CIRCUS. Floribunda. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 1382. Bright and 



t^ cheerful, with red, pink, yellow and orange colors mixed in 

 • a wonderful three-ring show. The bushy, rugged plant bears 

 the 2}^ to 3-inch blooms in profusion. Well-formed buds burst 

 into 45 to 50-petaled flowers borne in enormous clusters that top 

 the plant. Makes an excellent hedge or a fine show of color around 

 a patio or foundation planting. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



EUROPEAN A. Floribunda. (G. de Ruiter.) Plant Pat. 2540. 

 (^^ Masses and masses of rich satiny crimson-red, each plant 

 ^^ covered with these bouquets. Often as many as 20 or more 

 flowers on one branch, each bloom about 2]^ inches across, with 

 beautifully ruffled petals forming a rosette. One flower cluster is 

 a bouquet in itself and lasts a week or more. The low, bushy 

 plant has very large, leathery leaves, soft mahogany-red when 

 they first appear. Blooms repeatedly through the summer. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



FASHION. Floribunda. (Boerner.) A classic. Its refreshing, 

 ,^^ translucent color lasts unusually well and always looks allur- 

 ^ ing — soft coral-peach-pink suffused gold. Oval, deep peach 

 buds open to 3 to 3}^-inch blooms of fine Hybrid Tea form; fra- 

 grant too. Loaded with bloom all summer. Grows to about 3 feet. 

 $2.90 ea.— 3 or more, $2.70 ea. 



REDGOLD. Floribunda. (Dickson.) Plant Pat. 3006. A splendid 

 /^^ landscaping plant. Flowers are not of the large show type, 

 ^^* but they are a flashy contrast of colors. At first soft chrome- 

 yellow, the urn-shaped buds turn darker as they open, to glowing 

 orange-gold. Petals are edged brick-red, which becomes deeper 

 magenta. Lightly perfumed; about 30 petals. Color and shape 

 last well. Plants are rangy, medium tall, excellent as a border. 

 $3.75 ea. — 3 or more, $3.40 ea. 



RUMBA. Floribunda. (Poulsen.) Plant Pat. 1919. A sparkling 

 Floribunda to use as a hedge. Flowers in clusters of 5 to 1 2 are a 

 kaleidoscope 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 inches across, solid and double, with 30 to 35 petals. 

 Light, spicy scent. Very free growing, bushy and vigorous, reach- 

 ing about 3 feet in height, with abundant healthy foliage. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



^AMBRA. Floribunda. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 

 2140. A bright, peppy orange with a suggestion of red, and with 

 mimosa-yellow at the petal base. Lovely buds and flowers of 

 medium size but with a high pointed center. Open blooms grad- 

 ually lose this form but are attractive at any stage. Light sweet- 

 brier perfume. Average height, very bushy, with leathery foliage. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea.
