ROSE ELFE 
So exquisite are the miniature blooms of this 
strong, hardy Floribunda that one migh. 
easily believe that the elves themselves had 
taken full-sized perfect Hybrid-Tea blooms, 
multiplied them several times on a single 
stem and reduced them all to less than half 
size! The miniature rose-pink buds open to 
tiny 2-in. high-centered flowers and offer not 
only a most attractive garden display but an 
opportunity for many cut-flowers all season. 
Known as ‘‘Delight’’ at the florists.

CARILLON “Rt. 1305" 
Carillon is one of the best-loved Roses of all time. Like the 
symphonic thrill from the group of bells in a cathedral carillon, 
the fullest enjoyment of Carillon is made possible by planting in 
groups of 6 to 12 or more, for a magic carpet of lustrous coral- 
flame resting on glossy green foliage. Carillon is a singing Rose, 
cheerful yet restful with its entrancing flame and coral hues. 
This outstanding Floribunda, created by our own Dr. Nicolas, 
has a special destiny in the gardens of a war-troubled world— 
where every possible note of cheer is so much needed. Most 
generous in bloom; grows best in North. 
The graceful semi-double blooms are large 
and fragrant, and the exquisite buds make 
handsome table arrangements and bouton- 
nieres. 
Variety. .. .Floribunda par excellence; 24 to 30 
in. tall. 
Blooms..... large, pleasingly fragrant, till frost.

Carillon 
HE new hardy race of Roses that has so 
widened the uses of the ‘‘Queen of 
Flowers.’’ Use Floribundas generously 
in groups of 3, 5 or more. To supply compel- 
ling color all season in shrubbery and peren- 
nial borders, sidewalk and doorstep plantings, 
and to replace annual foliage plants and flow- 
ers, Floribundas are ideal. To set off and add 
great splashes of color to home-grounds and 
estates, use 25 or more of a variety en masse. 
In addition to these newer uses, Floribundas 
are also planted wherever one would use 
Hybrid Teas.
