FE loribunda Roses (Large-flowered Polyanthas) 
Individual prices as noted, less quantity discount on page 8 
RACTICALLY all of the varieties under this heading may 
be considered in the new classification called Floribunda 
Roses. 
The word “Floribunda” is used to refer to bush Roses pro- 
ducing clusters of blooms without interruption from early sum- 
mer until late frosts. They were formerly referred to as “bedding 
roses” for mass color effect rather than for specimen blooms. 
The Floribunda class, therefore, includes new as well as old 
varieties of large-flowered or Hybrid Polyanthas, and possibly 
a few Hybrid Teas. They are all very easy to grow and ex- 
ceptionally hardy. 
Planting Distance: Average 15 to 18 inches. 
Height: Average 24 to 30 inches. 
Pruning: Prune lightly to desired height, removing old cluster 
heads and thin out dead wood.

inside several shades lighter. Borne in large

blooms, deeply suffused a vivid crimson. Fine 
bedding Rose; free flowering. 85 cts. each. 
KING BOREAS. (The Brownells, 1940.) Yel- 
low. Practically all the other recent yellows in 
this class proved disappointments to us; they 
simply will not bloom and grow enough for a 
Floribunda Rose. But on King Boreas you will 
find dozens of flowers at one time on each plant 
from June until November. Propagation rights 
reserved. $1.25 each. Supply exhausted 
until fall 1944.

cherry-crimson, fading slightly. 85 cts. each. 
MRS. R. M. FINCH. Pink. Loosely double, 
2-inch flowers in huge clusters. Opening color 
is clear pink changing to blush, then white, so 
that a cluster shows all stages. Strong bushy 
plants 21% to 3 feet tall and as broad. Blooms 
continuously. 85 cts. each. 
PERMANENT WAVE. (M. Leenders & Co., 
1934.) Pat. 107. Cerise. The name fits the 
Rose—the petals are fluted or waved per- 
manently from the bud stage to the finish. 
Blooms rather Jarge for the type, rosy pink 
with cerise edges, in great clusters. $1 each.
