___ farréa' SELECTED ROSES 

Please Read Carefully Before Ordering 
Our roses are grown in the North and are, therefore, better adapted to northern conditions than 
those grown in the South. Due to the long wet summer many varieties did not mature properly so 
the supply is going to be shorter than at any time during the war years. In order to avoid disap- 
pointment we urge you to place your order early. We will book orders as they are received 
against our existing supply and ship them at the proper planting time. 
All prices include packing and carrying charges prepaid to you. 
We ship in April only. No plants sent west of Illinois or south 
Planting directions accompany each ship- of Virginia.

Outstanding Floribunda Roses 
Floribunda is the name given to a new class of roses developed from the 
old Polyantha class. They make a compact shrubby growth, bloom over 
most of the growing season and produce single to double flowers in large 
clusters. They are vigorous, easy to grow and may be used in mass plant- 
ings, among evergreens and shrubs in foundation plantings or in beds and 
borders. They hold up very well as cut flowers. 
PRICE: Either of the Floribundas $1.25; 3 of either variety $3.50. 
BETTY PRIOR. (Patent No. 340)—Large clusters of bright red buds 
open to single shell-pink blooms; a two-tone effect similar to pink 
dogwood. Showy in mass plantings or as cut-flowers. 
DONALD PRIOR. (Patent No. 377)—Brilliant scarlet, semi-double 
flowers; a perfect foil for Betty Prior. Sturdy vigorous plants are never 
without bloom.
