^RED RIPPLES. Plant Pat. pending. Vivid Christ- 

 mas red. Here is a Floribunda that will give you a 

 mass of brilliant, singing red color right through the 

 blooming season until all the other Roses are gone 

 in the fall and its only companions are the last chrys- 

 anthemums. It is a clear, true red in both bud and 

 bloom, an intense and joyous color which stays good 

 until the petals fall. Because of this the clusters keep 

 looking well at all times. The 23^-inch flowers form 

 ruffled rosettes that are soft and very velvety with 

 firm petals, standing heat without burning or changing 

 color. These non-fading blooms are unusually long 

 lasting both on the bush and as bouquets. They are 

 wonderful for a man's buttonhole, and how a single 

 cluster does touch up a woman's otherwise plain dress 

 or suit, where the flowers' lasting qualities and rich 

 color become particularly notable and desirable! 



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. 



Imagine them in front of a white house or garage 

 wall; or try two or three on either side of the base of a 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber or Silver Moon or in a small 

 group in front of dark evergreens. They are accent 

 plants whose intense, scintillating color will bring 

 brilliance to a spot and keep it there, spring, summer, 

 and fall. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35. 



■^FLORADORA. Plant Pat. pending. The gayest 

 mff^ Floribunda of them all. It is an eye-catching, 

 " * V^T attractive and unique new color in Roses, a 

 bright vermilion to orange-rose which is approached 

 only by the most brilliant azaleas. The 25-petaIed 

 flower is a dainty rosette, very formal and perfect, 

 with ranked petals like a camellia, holding its shape 

 until the petals drop. The flowers come on long stems 

 and are always held erect. 



Floradora takes the center of the stage no matter 

 where it is planted. It acts like a stoplight to visitors 

 at Star Rose Gardens, and others report the same 

 effect on their guests. The plants are strong, 2 3^ to 

 3 feet high, with an abundance of healthy, shiny 

 bronze foliage; constantly in bloom from June until 

 frost. 



Picture a bed of these glowing beauties around the 

 base of a bird-bath or sundial, or grouped in front of a 

 shrub border or backed by dark evergreens! $1.50 ea. ; 

 3 for $4.
