llt^lAJ JUI i^tJ FL. (Alain Meilland) Plant Pat. 2140. The great 

 French hybridizer has again bred into a rose all the fine qualities and features any 

 outstanding rose must have. First of all, look at the exotic color. In Meilland's 

 own words, "This is real orange color, just as you expect to see it in orange fruit 

 . . . but tinted slightly with red." The bud and open bloom are perfectly formed. 

 Flowers come several to the stem. The foliage is leathery and refreshing ivy- 

 green. The medium plant is bushy, vigorous and hardy. When in full bloom, and 

 it blooms a lot, Zambra is a dazzling sight. Its beauty and character won the 

 Gold Medal at the famed Bagatelle competition in Paris, the Certificate of Merit 

 at Lyon and also at the English Trial Grounds. It will be a winner wherever 

 planted. $2.50 ea.; 3 or more $2.20 ea.; 25 or more, $2 ea. 



SNOW FAIRY 



FL. (Camprubi) Plant Pat. 2376. Rated by many as one of the very best of the 

 recent floribunda introductions. There are many, many flowers all of the time 

 because this rose has the unusual ability to grow new canes from the base and 

 sides while still in full flower. The blooms are pure white, opening from small 

 shapely buds to well-formed, medium-sized blooms. The plant is compact and 

 excellently shaped; it grows medium tall. The fragrance is pleasant. $2.50 ea. ; 

 3 or more, $2.20 ea. ; 25 or more, $2 ea. 



RUMBA 



FL. (Poulsen) Plant Pat. 1919. Want colorful bouquets almost every day? Then 

 you want Rumba, a riot of poppy-red and pure gold. It's gay, charming, exciting. 

 Flashing reds and dancing yellows in small buttons of beauty just 2 to 2J2 inches 

 wide. Well-formed, double flowers with 20 to 35 shiny petals. Gem-like perfection 

 that comes in rounded clusters on medium stems that last a long time when cut. 

 A medium-height grower, the plant is almost as wide as it is tall, with lavish rich 

 green foliage. Disease-resistant, sturdy; a full-time producer of lots and lots of 

 roses. $2.50 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.20 ea. ; 25 or more, $2 ea. 



POLKA 



FL. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1939. This isn't just pink, it's a real lively pink. A 

 newer floribunda with flowers that are 332 inches across, with 40 to 45 fine-tex- 

 tured petals in good, solid fashion. The strong-growing, medium-height plant 

 always has many blooms in a wonderful, vividly colored display. The big clusters 

 have a welcome tea-rose fragrance. A good strong, continuous producer. $2 ea. ; 

 3 or more, $1.75 ea. ; 25 or more, $1.60 ea.
