Plant FLORIBUNDA ROSES 



© ^Pinocchio 



-A-PINOCCHIO. Plant Pat. 484. A much sought-after Floribunda, 

 always one of the first to be sold out. Its luscious color, freedom of 

 bloom, and the beautiful form of the individual buds and flowers make it 

 enchanting. Sprays of winsome buds, rich sahiion fluslied with gold, open 

 slowly to double, attractively formed blooms, X]-) inches across. As the 

 "Sweetheart" flowers open, they gradually change to soft clear pink and 

 acquire deeper pink edges. When the last flowers in a cluster finish, the 

 first buds are opening on other shoots, bringing new interest daily. 



Free-branching, continuous-blooming, with ample dark green foliage, 

 the plants grow 20 to 24 inches in height. As a border plant, Pinocchio is 

 charming. It makes a good edging for beds of I lybrid Teas because of the 

 similarity of form in the flowers and its soft coloring which permits it to 

 harmonize with the other Roses. The full-petaled blooms last well both 

 on the bush and in water. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35.

For Quantity of Bloom 



at one time. Floribundas 



burst into bloom all over 



the plant, usually giving a 



whole bouquet of flowers 



I on every stem. Generous 



amounts maybe cut and still 



have a fine garden show. 



For Continuous Bloom all 



season. Floribundas not only 



cover themselves with bloom 



but keep right on producing, 



showing color all through the 



season. No other class of hardy 



plants and few annuals make 



such a display of bloom for so 



long a period. 



For Cutting. The blooms are 

 long lasting, upright, and a few 

 clusters make a bouquet of some 

 size. Pleasing cut-flower ar- 

 rangements are assured as the 

 individual flowers are already 

 artfully arranged in 

 sprays by nature. 

 For Massing. Flori- 

 bundas are best ap- 

 preciated when planted 

 where their own great 

 virtues can be most use- 

 ful. One such place is 

 where a mass of color 

 is desired — a whole sheet of 

 bloom, as in a solid bed or around 

 a sundial, bird-bath or other 

 garden feature. 



Foundation Planting. Flori- 

 bundas are good for planting 

 near the house as part of its set- 

 ting, either in front of evergreens 

 or in a group by themselves. 

 Several plants of one variety or 

 color are best for this purpose, to 

 avoid a "spotty" appearance. 

 With Flowering Shrubs. 

 Groups of Floribundas planted 

 in strategic places in front of 

 shrubs will pick up the melody 

 of spring bloom and carry it on 

 through the whole season, com- 

 plementing any shrubs that bloom 

 with them and providing color 

 for the group when the shrubs 

 are through. 



For Borders. Floribundas are 

 excellent for a border of any 

 size, by themselves or with other 

 plants. Fine along a driveway. 

 Ornament and usefulness com- 

 bine most remarkably where their 

 thorns are useful for a barrier. 

 For edging a vegetable garden 

 they are perfect. There they can 

 be screen, barrier, bouquet ma- 

 terial and constant joy.
