AUTUMN BOUQUET. New. An ever-bloom- 
ing pink shrub Rose introduced by Bobbink & 
Atkins for the first trme in Spring 1948 for M. 
R. Jacobus, Hybridizer. It is seldom that a 
good husky shrub Rose, attaining a height of 
about 4 feet, produces successive crops of 
glorious blooms from June right on through 
October. The color of both bud and open 
bloom is a pronounced carmine-pink and borne 
singly on long stems as well as in clusters at 
certain times. Perhaps the color is not so un- 
usual but a shrub Rose of this type has many 
uses in a border of other flowering shrubs where 
you want a good Rose against a background of 
deciduous foliage. The habit of Autumn Bou- 
quet may be compared to our good strong- 
growing Hybrid Perpetuals which bloom orly 
in June, however. One of the chief attributes 
of Autumn Bouquet is its very pleasing and 
pronounced fragrance at all times. All the ex- 
perts who saw the rows of husky 3 to 4-foot 
plants In our nursery the past summer decided 
It was a novelty variety which holds great 
promise for the future. $2.00 each.
