 of Recent Introduction— continued 



Sequoia 



18-240 Sequoia (J. Verschuren-Pechtold, 1939). A vigorous 

 upright growing Rose on the type of Heinrich Wendland. The 

 flowers are produced singly on strong wiry stems. The color is 

 a luscious ripe pumpkin-flesh, suffused apricot, and shading 

 lighter at the petal edges. A very free blooming Rose for every 

 garden. $1.25 each; $12.50 per doz. 



Sunny Days 



18-245 Sunny Days (H. A. Verschuren, 1939). The perfectly 

 pointed buds of this charming Rose are of a mellow chrome- 

 yellow. When fully open the nicely shaped flower is of the same 

 shade as the bud but somewhat lighter at the edge of the outer 

 petals. Of vigorous growth with abundant dark green foliage. 

 $1.25 each; $12.50 per doz. 



18-250 The Doctor (Howard & Smith, 1936). A beautiful 

 glowing rosy pink with satiny pink edges. Has broad petals

 with a delightful fruity scent. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Cheerio 



Three Spectacular New 



Poly ant ha or 



Large-Flowering 



Floribunda Roses 



These three new Polyantha Roses are ideal for mass planting. 

 Though the flowers 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. 



18-457 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.
