) First Edition 



(Arnand Delbard in Europe) 



j^^ Perfectly mounded Floribunda plants with 

 *^^ wave after wave of unequalled luminous coral 

 color. One of the very few roses that gives an 

 outstanding mass of color and yet has the form to 

 be perfect for arrangements. Our picture on the 

 cover is the form you get on each and every 

 bloom. Delicately pointed buds slowly become 

 striking, fluorescent blooms IVi inches across. A 

 delightful blending of subtle yellow, orange and 

 red shades. Excellent for any use but especially 

 lovely for mass plantings. 



IVi foot plants are perfect mounds and literally 

 blanketed with rich lively color. Each branch is well 

 clothed with medium size, glossy, bright green 

 foliage forming the perfect background for the 

 luminous color. One spray will make a beautiful 

 bouquet and one plant will be magnificent. An out- 

 standing plant, a beauty of a flower and perfect for 

 any use— FIRST EDITION. (Delbard.) Plant Pat.

tAn All-America 

 yes. and never have we seen anything like 

 this spicy Grandiflora. A definite color break- 

 through, such brilliance and yet such a clear 

 orange color that it is unmatched — it seems to 

 vibrate with its intensity. Well formed, medium 

 size buds very slowly become medium size, very 

 showy blooms of excellent form. Each petal 

 forms a sharp point and gives the flowers a dis- 

 tinctive star effect. Strong, tall, easy to grow 

 plants produce an excellent quantity of bloom 

 through the season; and each bloom comes on a 

 handsome stem for cutting. The showy blooms 

 have excellent substance and last an exception- 

 ally long time on the plant and when cut and are 

 perfect for arrangements. Tall, well branched 

 plants produce a continuous show of color. You 

 could almost fill a small vase a day from one 

 plant. 



Already a sensation in Europe, PROMINENT 

 will take America by storm. Once you have seen 

 the fiery color, few other roses can begin to com- 

 pare in performance, bloom production and out- 

 standing color. (Kordes.) Plant Pal. 3380.
