Floribundas at the World’s Fair 
Probably never before had so many flower-lovers seen so many 
Floribunda Roses as at the great New York World’s Fair. 
There in the Parade of Modern Roses were 5,000 plants in con- 
tinuous bloom, from June till winter, with as many as a million 
flowers open at a time. Betty Prior, Donald Prior, World's 
Fair, Smiles, Joyous, Carillon, and A. Grille were among the 
favorites in this display that hastened the Floribunda vogue 
from coast to coast. Truly, in ‘‘The World of Tomorrow,” 
Floribundas were its Roses. 

By The uses of Flori- 
y bundas are legion. 
You can plant them 
almost anywhere— 
in beds for great 
Splashes of color, in 
perennial borders, 
in front of ever- 
greens and shrub- 
bery. Also, in curb, 
sidewalk, and door- 
Step plantings, etc.
