ERKINS CO. 
THE NEW RACE OF 
MASSES OF COLOR 
Floribundas Give You More Color 
Hardy! Versatile! Masses of color. Great clusters of 
flowers even on asingle branch. Floribundas have a place in 
any landscape. . . any garden . . . because they combine 
the best features you want in a truly “all-season bloom.” 
Floribundas fit beautifully into the garden ensemble and 
the bushy plants are in flower continuously from June to 
frost. They are ideal for mass display, in borders with 
flowering shrubs to give color after the shrub bloom is past, 
among evergreens, as hedges or in any other location where 
you want a splash of gay color allsummer. Especially suited 
for table decorations. The flower clusters lend themselves 
well to arrangements of many interesting types.

CLUSTERS OF 
FLOWERS ... ALWAYS IN BLOOM 
Truly the all-purpose wonder of rosedom and, of course, a J. & P. 
introduction! Extremely hardy, very easy to grow, always in bloom, 
with hundreds of flowers on every bush setting the entire plant aglow 
with gay harmony. Clusters of exquisite pointed buds open gradually 
to long-lasting Miniature Tea Roses, 1% inches across. 
Pinocchio blooms so exuberantly that the word ‘‘everblooming”’ seems 
inadequate. . . as the last flowers in a cluster finish, the first buds are 
opening on other shoots, bringing new interest daily. The flowers are 
long-lasting in all kinds of weather. Each plant is a riot of color in 
June and then continues to bloom right up until frost. 
The winsome kuds are rich appealing salmon, flushed with gold at 
base, gradually changing to soft clear pink as the ‘‘sweetheart’’ flow- 
ers open and acquire deeper pink edges. Exotic, fruity fragrance. 
The artistic sprays of buds and blooms are incomparable for mass or 
miniature flower arrangements. They often keep from 8 to 10 days in 
the home. Unrivalled for boutonnieres. 
In the garden Pinocchio has many uses and generously fulfills them 
all. It is ideal to plant in shrub and evergreen borders, particularly 
effective in continuous summer and fall color after the flowering shrubs 
are done. The cool pink masses are refreshing in mass plantings and 
edgings for paths, drives, beds and borders. 
Bred to endure rigorous winters and to bloom abundantly from early 
June through the hot summer and fall; a welcome addition to any 
garden. Planted in combination with Red Pinocchio (opposite page) 
Yellow Pinocchio (p. 4) and Lavender Pinocchio (p. 12) it will make 
your garden a riot of color from June to frost. The many clusters on 
each plant create an unbelievably striking picture.
