Floribunda Roses are hardy and long-lived. They 

 need comparatively liclle care and endure hardships 

 that would be too much for other Roses. Yet they will 

 flower freely so that they may be counted upon to pro- 

 vide a generous supply of sprays for cutting from the 

 time the first buds open until severe freezing weather 

 approaches. The only thing to guard against is taking 

 away too much foliage when cutting. 



•LITTLE MISS MUFFETT. As delightful a 

 Rose as any in this class, with charming rich coral- 

 pink flowers composed of 20 petals, neatly arranged 

 like those of a choice camelha. They are carried in 

 graceful, open, branching heads that display them 

 to their fullest advantage. Of sturdy growth and 

 about 2 feet tall. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35. 

 •PERMANENT WAVE. Plant Pat. 107. Unique, 

 bronzy cochineal-carmine buds, in clusters of six or 

 more, open to semi-double blooms of rich rose-pink. 

 The petal edges are delightfully waved and fluted, even 

 in the buds, and stay crisp and fresh in afl kinds of 

 weather. Growth 2 to 23^2 feet. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35. 



Why Not Try Floribunda Roses? 



*Donald Prior. $1.25 ea. ; 3 for $3.35. 



^RED RIPPLES. A clear, true red in both bud and 

 bloom — an intense and joyous color. The wavy- 

 petaled flowers come in great masses and keep coming 

 until later in the fall than most varieties. The plant 

 of Red Ripples is magnificent. Tall growing, upright 

 and vigorous, it is a sensation as a hedge. In good 

 soil and a favorable location plants will grow 4 feet 

 tall or more: or they may be pruned for lower growth. 

 Constantly in bloom, the flowers are always well 

 distributed over the plant, with the long-stemmed 

 clusters held erect. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35. 

 ^ROSENELFE. Very pretty, gardenia-like flowers 

 of glowing pure pink with a silvery reflex, which gives 

 them special charm. The fully double flowers are an 

 inspiring sight in a mass display and fully as charm- 

 ing in vases. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35. 

 ^WORLD'S FAIR. Plant Pat. 362. The best 

 known of all the larger-flowered Floribundas. Large, 

 delightfully fragrant, velvety crimson flowers are 

 freely produced all season on 2 to 23^-foot plants. 

 $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35. 



-^Red Ripples. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35. 



There are a number of overworked shrubs that are used monot- 

 onously across the fronts of houses, along paths, for hedges along 

 the streets. Why not try Floribundas for the purpose around 

 your house? They are different; they come in a fine range of 

 colors for various interesting effects, and they bloom much longer 

 than the common bridal wreath, barberry, hydrangea and other 

 shrubs so often used. Groups of these Roses planted in strategic 

 places in front of other shrubs will pick up the melody of early 

 spring bloom and carry it on through the whole season.
