Large i Flowered 
ALSO CALLED 
Floribunda Roses or Cluster Roses are a group of Roses especially 
produced for mass planting. They are noted for their permanence, con- 
tinuity 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, 


Improved Lafayette 

Anne Poulsen (Plant Patent No. 182) Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Large, semi-single blooms, brilliant scarlet in tone, with a vivid over- 
cast of crimson. Blooms come in sprays and have a pleasing fragrance. 
Baby Chateau Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
This large flowered cluster Rose produces semi-double flowers of deepest 
dark velvety red. It is a strong grower and makes a magnificent display 
when planted in solid beds or if used in combinations with a white 
cluster Rose. 
Betty Prior (U. S. Plant Patent No. 340) Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
An outstanding addition to this new class of Roses, distinctive in its 
appealing color, its extremely healthy foliage and growth, and its posi- 
tive continuity of bloom. In early spring the single blooms resemble the 
flowers of a red dogwood. They are produced in clusters which are fol- 
lowed continuously by other clusters throughout the entire season. 
Carillon (Plant Patent No. 136) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
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 (U.S. Plant Patent No. 149) Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
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 Rose we know. Plant in masses or in groups in the border or 
Rose garden. 
Donald Prior (Patent No. 377) Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
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. A bright red 
which won’t clash in the garden. 
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 97.) 
Karen Poulsen Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
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 (Plant Patent No. 107) Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Single blooms of deep rose-pink are 3 inches across and come in bou- 
quets of six or more on a stem. Each broad, firm petal is beautifully 
waved, thus inspiring the name ‘Permanent Wave.” 
Cheerio Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Superb in every respect—a Rose of outstanding 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 pleasantly surprised 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.
