OWN-ROOT 
FRENCH HYBRIDS 
These gorgeous French Hybrids far surpass all others. 
Larger florets, richer colors, broader spikes, more to 
a cluster. Every variety is faster growing and younger 
blooming. Fragrant beyond description. Own-root, 
not budded, so wild sucker growth will never bother 
you. For infinite long life, rapid growth and every- 
year bloom, these strong 3-yr. plants are worth ten 
: times as much as the old-fashioned yva- 
rieties.
