For Lots of Bloom! 
Pinkie 
Pinkie has more downright charm, dainty beauty, and artis- 
(BQ tic appeal than any rose that we grow. It is a new and en- 
AASRS tirely different Floribunda type. The bushy little plants, 15 
to 20 inches high, carry throughout the entire blooming 
season—spring, summer, and fall—a great profusion of little slender 
pink buds with a perfection of form never seen in Floribundas be- 
fore. The buds open to fully double flowers about 2 inches across. 
The light green glossy foliage forms a perfect background for the 
large rounded clusters of spicily fragrant little blooms. Pinkie is 
perfectly adapted for use as a low hedge or border planting, because 
it stays low and compact. Wherever you plant it, the continual mass 
of bloom will be one of the highlights of your garden. There will 
always be plenty of perfect little buds or large sprays to cut for 
arrangements. Originated in the Armstrong Research Department by 
H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. No. 712. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each; 25 or more, $1.15 each.

China Doll 
Imagine a bushy, rounded 18-inch rose plant carrying 240 perfect pink roses at 
a time, each flower 1 to 2 inches across. We counted the flowers on several normal 
plants of this new Baby Rose and that was the average number. The rounded flower 
clusters so cover the plant that you cannot even see the leaves, and as one crop 
goes another comes on. The color is a bright, cheerful shade of China Rose, and 
the little double flowers last a long time. The petals always drop cleanly before 
they become unsightly. The dwarf, almost thornless plant, with its glossy mildew- 
resistant foliage and bright cheerful flowers, is wonderful for a low border or 
hedge. Take a look at the picture, lower right, and you will see what we mean. 
This picture was taken in late May, but the plants will be just like this—covered 
with bloom throughout the summer and fall. Plant Pat. No. 678.

Summer Snow 
From spring to late fall this prolific white Floribunda will resemble an immaculate 
snowbank in your garden. Often it produces 15 or more buds to a cluster and the 
countless clusters are continuously unfolding new flowers. There is always a generous 
supply in the garden or for cutting. The bushy large plant grows 3 to 4 feet in 
height, making it excellent for “backing up” lower growing roses or a bed of 
brightly colored annuals or perennials. Plant Pat. No. 416. 
$1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each; 25 or more, 95c each.
