Large- Flowered Cluster Roses 
ALSO CALLED FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Floribunda Roses or Cluster Roses are a group of Roses especially produced for mass planting. 
They are noted for their permanence, continuity of bloom, and ease of culture. Their habit of 
growth is bushy, and their chief characteristic is sturdiness. The plants are winter-hardy, therefore 
permanent, and bloom continuously in numerous clusters. Flowers are fairly large, vary from single 
to full double, and include the entire range of colors of Roses. A distinctive feature is the long- 
lastingness of the flowers in all weathers. They are best planted closely—about 14 inches apart—in 
large groups and masses, in beds, so they will blanket the ground. Groups of 3 or 5 of a variety 
placed in front of the shrub border create a superb color display. They are more effective and just 
as colorful as tender annuals.

let, the fragrant petals surrounding a glowing mass of golden stamens.

LARGE-FLOWERING CLUSTER ROSES 
(Polyantha) 
Growing 24 to 30 inches high. 
Here are offered several new Roses outstanding for their ruggedness of 
growth and great qualities of bloom. They are so outstanding and different 
we desire to keep them in a class by themselves and will add to this dis- 
tinct form others which will, no doubt, come along in time to come. 
Anne Poulsen Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
(Plant Patent No. 182.) Large, semi-single blooms, brilliant scarlet in 
tone, with a vivid overcast of crimson. Blooms come in sprays and have 
a pleasing fragrance. 
Betty Prior Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
(Patented.) An outstanding addition to this new class of Roses, dis- 
tinctive in its appealing color, its extremely healthy foliage and growth, 
and its positive continuity of bloom. In early spring the single blooms 
resemble the flowers of a red dogwood. They are produced in clusters 
which are followed continuously by other clusters throughout the entire 
season. 
Carillon 
(Patent No. 136.) 
Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
This Rose was named Carillon because it is a singing 
Rose, a Rose which creates a feeling of joy and good cheer. It is never 
out of tune, and its enchanting melody pervades the garden! The full 
harmony of this cheery Rose is best obtained by planting in groups. 
These make a magic carpet of lustrous coral-flame resting on glossy 
green foliage. The bloom is semi-double but large and fragrant. 
Crown of Jewels Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Patented.) One of our favorites because it is one of the finest bedding 
Roses grown. Plants are vigorous and bushy with leathery foliage and 
clusters of very double cup-shaped blooms of lovely coral-rose. Nearly 
everblooming, especially fine in autumn. Marvelous for cutting, lasting 
longer in water than any Rese we know. Plant in masses or in groups 
in the border or Rose garden. 
Donald Prior Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
(Patent No. 377.) An eight-petaled, rich cherry-red Floribunda Rose 
with flowers about four inches across. The dark green foliage is a 
splendid foil to the crimson flushed scarlet flowers and when the full 
trusses come into bloom the effect is very striking and decidedly pleasing. 
Else Poulsen Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Flowers medium size, semi-double, lasting, bright rose-pink. Continues 
blooming from summer to late fall. Produced by erect growing, very 
thrifty plants. (Color illustration, page 53.) 
Karen Poulsen Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
(D T. Poulsen, 1933.) The most brilliant bedding Rose of the Poulsens. 
Last year was runner-up for the Bagatelle Gold Medal. Bud medium 
size, globular; flower single, brilliant scarlet; continuous bloomer from 
June to November. 
Permanent Wave Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
(Plant Patent No. 107.) Single blooms of deep rose-pink are 3 inches 
across and come in bouquets of six or more on a stem. Each broad, 
yey petal is beautifully waved, thus inspiring the name ‘/Permanent 
ave”.
