Floribimda Roses, how they have stormed along and, 

 in sporting terms, have cleared hurdle after hurdle imtil 

 now they are away ahead of anything dreamed of by 

 Rosarians of even a few years ago. 



Here are Roses that don't know what quitting means. 

 Winter does not harm them, they are too sturdy to be 

 bothered with cold. Summer heat and even long spells 

 of drought are taken in their stride. They keep on bloom- 

 ing just the same, starting early in Jime and continuing 

 without intermission until hard frost finally gets the late 

 blooms in November, then the plants settle down for a 

 winter rest and gather strength for another season of im- 

 remitting bloom. 



Floribunda plants are upright in growth, they are re- 

 markably disease-resistant and their brilliant blooms 

 keep up a constant show when planted along driveways, 

 around bird-baths or wherever continuous color is de- 

 sired throughout the growing season. They make nice spots 

 of color contrast when planted in front of evergreens. 



Here are some of the finest in shades of red, shades of 

 pink, one white and the only yellow variety in this free- 

 blooming class.
