Floribundas 



Floribunda. (G. deRuiter.) 

 Plant Pat. 2540. Our photo- 

 graph shows just one cluster of Euro- 

 peana, used as a bouquet. As many as 

 1 5 to 20 individual flowers make up one of 

 these huge, compact clusters, and they last 

 as long as a week. 



This is a splendid garden plant, coming into 

 growth and bloom quickly in the spring and 

 pushing out its blooms in one wave after 

 another until frost. The sparkling, satiny red 

 flowers are very cheery, full of life and energy, 

 cupped in shape, with 25 to 30 beautifully 

 ruffled petals. The flower clusters are so huge 

 and heavy you might expect a plant to need 

 all its strength to produce just one stem — but 

 several clusters are carried at a time on each 

 low, dense bush. Foliage is very large and 

 leathery, soft mahogany color at first, then 

 turning dark green. 



For a low border or spot of brilliant color 

 against a dark background, you can't do 

 better than Europeana.

What Is a 

 Floribunda ? 



Take apart the word 

 "Floribunda" and you get 

 a description of these 

 plants — "abundant flow- 

 ers." A bush that is covered with a 

 multitude of blooms until frost. While some 

 are borne on single stems, it is more char- 

 acteristic for them to grow in clusters. 



For this reason Floribundas give a mass 

 color effect and are particularly valuable 

 as landscape plants. They may be used as 

 color accents against an evergreen back- 

 ground, as borders and hedges — in fact, 

 like any other flowering shrub. You need 

 not have a special rose garden in order to 

 enjoy Floribundas. 



Many Floribundas have flowers that are 

 as large and well shaped as Hybrid Teas, 

 so you can cut them for bouquets indoors. 

 And because they bloom so freely, you will 

 still have plenty of color left on the plants.

EUROPEANA 



Floribunda. (Fisher.) Plant Pat. 2576. We rate 

 this as the best yellow Floribunda available. Both 

 its size and its color are extra good. Rich butter-yellow buds 

 slightly tinged with orange become a bright, sunny yellow as they 

 unfold. They open nicely to full flowers often up to 5 inches across 

 — as large and attractive as many Hybrid Teas. They are borne in 

 great profusion, the graceful yellow blooms literally blanketing 

 the entire plant. The bush grows rather upright but at the same 

 time mound shaped and is covered with light green foliage. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea.
