Cheerio 
Four Spectacular New 
Large-Flowering 
Polyantha Roses 
These four new Polyantha Roses are ideal for mass planting. 
Though the fiowers are produced in the greatest abundance 
the individual blooms also are of fine large size. 





18-411 Cheerio 
(Kordes, 1940.) Superb in every respect—a Rose of out- 
standing merit whether used for mass planting in beds or 
borders or to give an individual accent here or there in the 
garden. You will be most favorably impressed by the super- 
abundance of the brilliant double flowers borne in massive 
yet gracefully arranged flower clusters. The flower petals are 
clear mallow pink shading to tyrian rose at the base with the 
reverse or outside a luminous rose-madder that creates an 
effective color balance. 






18-453 Pink Jewel 
(Kordes, 1940.) A jewel indeed—Arbutus pink shading to 
deep Camellia rose in the center of the densely double large 
blooms. The grace and artistic arrangement of the magnificent 
large flower clusters makes it a peer among the bedding Roses. 
The plants are simply covered with substantial fowers. The 
beauty of the flowers is enhanced by a graceful wave along the 
petal edges. 






18-457 Red Velvet 
(Kordes, 1940.) A spectacular bedding Rose covered with 
great masses of urn-shaped buds opening to well-rounded 
blooms with gracefully waved petal edges. The general color 
effect is that of an intensely vivid crimson lake. The velvety 
finish of the flowers adds to the beauty and richness of the 
color. The outside of the flower petals is deep carmine creating 
a charming color contrast that heightens the effectiveness of 
the display. Vigorous and free blooming. 






18-463 Sunmist 
(Kordes, 1940.) Graceful, pointed buds opening into large, 
fluffy, well-rounded flowers of a clear light sulphur yellow 
shading to mellow canary yellow toward the base of the 
petals. Forms imposing large flower clusters. An outstanding 
bedding Rose that gives a glorious effect particularly if massed 
in beds or borders. 

Any of the above, dormant or potted: 
$1.25 each; $12.50 per doz.
