With more color and more continuous bloom than any of the more common 
annuals or perennial flowers Floribunda roses will give you a spectacular show 
of color from early spring until late fall. The effect is just as pleasing whether 
you arrange them according to their color and height or whether you use 
them as a low hedge or border. They are easy to grow and quite hardy. All 
you need to do is give them an occasional spraying and fertilizing to get 
sensational results. ie 
Chatter 
A good border or foreground variety because 
the compact plant grows to only about 2 feet 
in mild climates and even lower in colder areas. 
From early spring until late fall, it is seldom 
without a glowing blanket of velvety deep 
crimson flowers. Plant Pat. No. 739. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.30 each; 
25 or more, $1.20 each. 
Fashion Goldilocks 
This is something unusual—a Floribunda with 
flowers of clear golden yellow. It is a low com- 
pact plant (18 to 24 inches) which is con- 
tinually bursting with masses of perfect little 
buds and many-petaled, long-lasting flowers. It 
is delightful for its clarity of color and abun- 
dance of bloom. Plant Pat. No. 672. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.30 each; 
25 or more, $1.20 each.

Floradora 
The unusual orange-scarlet color is 
(GG one of the most attractive to be 
AA\RS found in roses and the exquisitely 
formed buds open to fully double 
flowers, each resembling a perfect little camel- 
lia. The plant is vigorous and tall-growing (3 
to 4 feet in Western gardens), but just like 
the other Floribundas, it blooms with gusto. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.30 each; 
25 or more, $1.20 each.

Fashion 4//-America Winner 
Fashion won an All-America award in 1950 and since has won almost every important 
(@B international award for a new rose as well. The color is unique and lovely, a blending 
AA\RS of coral and gold with a warm overlay of apricot. Each dainty bud is a perfectly formed 
rose and there are always plenty of them to cut for a buttonhole or bud vase. The plant 
is very vigorous, well-foliaged, and grows from 2 to 214 feet tall in milder areas. From early spring 
until late fall, it is seldom without bloom and the aging flowers hold their color very well. 
Plant Pat. No. 789. $2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each; 25 or more, $1.60 each. 
China Doll 
Can you believe that a rose plant just 18 inches tall could have 240 perfect pink roses on it at one 
time? We counted the flowers on several normal plants of China Doll, and that was the average 
number. The rounded clusters made up of flowers 1 to 2 inches across so cover the plant that you 
cannot see the foliage, and as one burst goes by another one comes on. The color is a bright cheerful 
shade of china rose which ages well, and the old flowers drop off cleanly. The plant is very dwarf 
(about 18 inches here in California), almost thornless and with its glossy mildew-resistant foliage 
is perfect for a low hedge or border. A glance at the picture on the next page will show you what 
we mean. Plant Pat. No. 678. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.55 each; 25 or more, $1.40 each.
