•CIRCUS. Plant Pat. 1382. Plenty of 

 -jjgv gay color in this one — an All-

 pink and orange are mixed in 

 wonderful abandon and the effect is 

 strikingly showy. The 40-petaled 

 blooms are numerous and come on an 

 upright, well-poised plant. Grows to 

 middle height. I've seen this one serv- 

 ing very vividly as a low hedge, and I 

 must say that it is attractive that way. 

 (Incidentally, we now have this as a 

 Climber, too, see page 30.) $2.50 ea.; 

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

 $2 ea.

•RED FAVORITE. Plant Pat. 1189. Several years ago, I took home a 

 battered box of 6 Red Favorites which had traveled to California and 

 back (6000 miles!) by parcel post. I stuck them in the ground at the foot 

 of a stone wall. You should see them! Loaded with long-lasting blooms 

 of deep red all season. Strong, 3-foot bush, glossy leaves. Fragrant? Sure! 

 Star Roses are full of life. Red Favorite proves it. $1.75 ea.; 3 or more, 

 $1.55 ea.; 25 or more. $1.10 ea. 



• GOLD CUP. Plant Pat. 

 j». 1683. Splendid yellow All- 

 !iS2P America winner with clus- 

 "^ ters of nicely formed, 3- 



inch flowers. The vigorous 

 plant reaches 2 x /i feet — renews 

 itself easily from strong basal 

 shoots. Enhancing the good 

 shape and substance of the 

 blooms is a winning kind of 

 perfume, adding quality to qual- 

 ity and making Gold Cup pretty 

 special among the yellow Flori- 

 bundas. $2 ea.; 3 or more, 

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



• SARABANDE. (Meilland.) 

 ^g. Plant Pat. 1761. Although 

 (jf^l it's named for a "stately" 

 ^^ Spanish dance, I find it 

 hard, personally, to reconcile 

 that meaning with the person- 

 ality of the rose itself — which, 

 to me, is anything but stately. 

 In fact, it's gay, flamboyant, 

 devil-may-care, daring and highly 

 explosive. It's brighter than a 

 new dime, glints like a diamond 

 and just won't be overlooked. 

 Clusters of brilliant red flowers 

 always on the bush which is 

 low, compact, vigorous. A 

 winner of 7 top international 

 awards, including the All- Amer- 

 ica. $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 

 ea.; 25 or more, $2 ea.
