The Brilliant Beauty Below 



*SARABANDE. Floribunda. (Mcilland.) Plant Pat. 

 ^gg~. 1761. Already the winner of many awards and honors 

 K^l in Europe, and now of the most wanted of them all — 

 the AJl-America Award— this brilliant new beauty is 

 ready and waiting to perform for you. We offer it for the 

 first time in this catalog. Sarabande is one of the finest 

 Floribundas of all time! Its w.inderful, iridescent orient-red 

 is even and clear all through, and like a lighthouse beacon, 

 it catches and holds the eye irresistibly. The bright yellow 

 stamens add to its attraction power, making the most 

 striking and beautiful color contrast with the lively orange- 

 red. Sarabande's flowers are semi-double and rather large 

 for a Floribunda. There are from 12 to 1.5 petals to the 

 flower, and many, many flowers to the bush. They come in 

 clusters, blooming eariy and lasting long. The nice bush 

 grows low, compactly, vigorously, and its foliage is very 

 dense. Makes a dandy hedge. .^2.50 ea.; 3 or more, S2.20 

 ea.; 25 or more, .'?2 ea.
