Plant Star Floribundas 



'/ 



Floribunda. (Fisher.) Plant Pat. 2576. Rich butter- 

 i/ff/f-ljf/l/f yellow buds slightly ringed 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 covering the entire plant. Bloom comes occasionally singly 

 to the stem, but more frequently in two's or three's. The plant is of 

 good vigor, growing rather upright but at the same time mound shaped 

 to middle height, and is covered with light green foliage of medium 

 size that sets off the abundant bloom. We rate this as the best yellow 

 Floribunda available, and for a bright spot of gold we can think of no 

 Floribunda to equal this one. Both its size and its color are extra good.

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



1758. The plant of this fine Floribunda is of special 

 (^^ importance because of its exceptional vigor and tall, uniform 

 ^«5-' growth. Foliage is dark green, with better than average resistance 

 to blackspot. Against this rich background the neat-looking, fiery 

 scarlet blooms appear in big clusters. The ovoid buds open easily, 

 becoming well-formed, medium-sized flowers with about 45 thick 

 petals, regularly arranged, as shown in the picture. They are very 

 long lasting and excellent for cutting. Besides their good color they 

 can boast moderate perfume. A steady producer all season long. Fire 

 King is always bright and showy — a real garden highlight. 

 $3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.

 of opening is a most delightful picture. The satiny petals are grace- 

 fully rolled at the edge. This is a tall plant, often over 33-^ feet high, 

 well branched and fully covered with JDright green foliage. A bush in 

 bloom is a big bouquet of pink — a lovely adornment for any garden. 

 An appropriate memorial for the American hybridizer known for the 

 many wonderful Floribundas he produced.
