Fhoribunda Roses 
Floribunda Roses or Cluster Roses are a group of Roses especial- 
ly produced for mass planting. They are noted for their perman- 
ence, continuity of bloom, and ease of culture. Their habit of 
growth is bushy, and their chief characteristic is sturdiness. The 
plants are winter-hardy, therefore permanent, and bloom con- 
tinuously in numerous clusters. Flowers are fairly large, vary 
from single to full double, and include the entire range of colors 
of Roses. A distinctive feature is the long-lastingness of the 
flowers in all weathers. They are best planted closely—about 14 
inches apart—in large groups and masses, in beds, so they will 
blanket the ground. Groups of three or five-of a variety placed 
in front of the shrub border create a superb color display. They 
are more effective and just as colorful as tender annuals.

Baby Chateau Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
This large-flowered cluster Rose produces semi-double flowers of deepest 
dark velvety red. It is a strong grower and makes a magnificent dis- 
play when planted in solid beds or if used in combination with a white 
cluster Rose. 
Bright Eyes (Platent No. 880) Hach $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A fine new creamy yellow Floribunda. There will be hundreds of Roses 
smiling at you when the clustered yellow buds of Bright Eyes open in a 
profusion of continuous bloom. As the canary-yellow buds expand, the 
color alters in the opening flowers, changing to a shimmering, silvery 
yellow near the outer margins of the petals. At times the silvery tips are 
tinted in a most artistic manner with soft pastels of pink and rose. 
For bordering walks, massing in beds or cutting purposes, BRIGHT EYES, 
under the most rigid rosarian’s rules, will qualify as a fine Rose in 
every detail. 
Cheerio Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
Superb in every respect—a Rose of outstanding merit whether used for 
mass planting in beds or borders or to give an individual accent here 
or there in the garden. You will be most pleasantly surprised by the 
super-abundance of the brilliant double flowers borne in massive yet 
gracefully arranged flower clusters. The flower petals are clear mallow- 
pink shading to Tyrian rose at the base with the reverse or outside a 
luminous rose-madder that creates an effective color balance. 
Baby Chateau 
Chatter (Plant Patent No. 739) 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
The enormous bright crimson flower clusters on Chatter last two and

generous 7- to 8-inch cluster sparkles in your garden as a mass of 
bright crimson for two or three weeks. The many clusters produced

from June to October.
