THE FLORIBUNDAS — che Roses of This Decade 
Floribunda roses—how they have stormed along and cleared every hurdle until now they have become 
one of the most widely planted types of the rose in America. Here are roses that don’t know what 
quitting means. Winter does not harm them—they are too sturdy to be bothered with the cold. Sum- 
mer heat practically makes them bloom all the more. 
Starting with a brilliant display in June, Flori- 
bundas continue to give you clusters of flowers right through the summer until killed by frost. These 
are the easiest of all roses to grow and should have a definite place in your garden. Use them in your 
rose beds, shrub borders or for hedges. We like to see them planted in groups of threes for mass effects. 
The foliage on these roses is perfect and their many types of uses give you utility plus constant color

POLYANTHA ROSES 
While it is not always possible to draw a sharp line between 
the Polyantha and Floribunda type of roses, there is enough 
difference so that we have grouped them separately. The 
individual flowers of the Polyantha type are smaller, though 
often the clusters are as large as the Floribunda type: 
heights in general are lower than Floribundas, so Poly- 
anthas make good edging plants or low mass plantings. All 
Polyanthas are as everblooming as roses can be. They live 
and bloom year after year and require little attention. 
Prices on all Polyanthas: 75c each; 3 for $1.75; $6.00 doz.
