Hybrid Pot gen thks 
(Floribunda) 
A new type of recurrent blooming rose that is rapidly increasing 
in popularity. Useful as low hedges or, if allowed to grow large, 
they make an excellent flowering shrub. They combine the hardi- 
ness of the polyanthus with the improved flowering qualities of 
the Hybrid Tea.

den. Free flowering throughout the entire

FASHION (Patent No. 789) AARS 
Here is truly a new shade of color in 
roses. The originators call it ‘deep 
peach,” but usually it is listed as ‘’coral.”’ 
Its habit of growth is low, spreading and 
bushy. It is constantly in flower, although 
the buds open one at a time, so that the 
clusters seem long-lasting. A low border

FLORADORA 
Here is another new shade in roses, and 
we have not found a word to describe it. 
Cinnabar-red is accepted by most rose 
catalogs, but to us it seems a sort of 
orange-scarlet. Bud is small and globular, 
the open bloom very double (50 or more 
petals). Tall erect plants, glossy clean 
foliage. Whether in the “fog-belt” or in 
the hot valley, Floradora flowers gaily all 
summer long. Beautiful as a cut flower,

GOLDILOCKS (Patent No. 672)

INDEPENDENCE (Pat. app. for) 
With the introduction of Independence a 
new color has been added to the flori- 
bunda class. It reminds us of Floradora. 
However, the blooms are lighter and 
seem even brighter. The color might be 
described as orange-scarlet, that holds 
well even in the hottest weather.
