Chatter (Plant Pat. No. 739) Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
The enormous bright crimson flower clusters on Chatter last two and 
sometimes even three weeks. Unsurpassed for garden color. Each gen- 
erous 7- to 8-inch cluster sparkles in your garden as a mass of bright 
crimson for two or three weeks. The many clusters produced on even a 
single plant give a continuous crimson display from June to October. 
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.

Frensham Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
English Gold Medal Award Winner. An outstanding new crimson-red 
that is our idea of what a Floribunda should be. Bushy plants 3 feet 
high and about as wide. This is a topnotch variety, wonderfully free 
blooming and vigorous growing. 
Goldilocks (Plant Pat. No. 672) Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
The buds are ovoid in shape resembling miniature Hybrid Teas in form, 
and a rich golden yellow in color. They open slowly and gracefully. The 
flowers are cupped in the early stages and gradually open to 31/4 inches 
across. They last a long time, as fresh new buds keep replenishing the 
over-all effect of a golden yellow mass. 21 feet or taller. 
Improved Lafayette Each $1.35, Three $3.75, Doz. $13.50 
Medium sized, deep glowing red flowers suffused with vivid crimson. 
Blooms very profusely. It is one of the finest Roses for bedding, flower- 
ing without fail until hard frost. 
Ma Perkins All-America Award Winner for 1953 
(Patent No. 1143) Each $2.25, Three $6.00, Doz. $24.00 
Although the Ophelia-shaped buds start a translucent Fashion color, 
fortified by shades of red in the outer petals, the flowers burst open to 
coral-shell. The suffusion of yellow is present in all of the early stages 
until at the very end of bloom, it finishes a soft shell-pink. The growth 
of Ma Perkins is strong yet compact. The flowers appear in clusters 
and singly throughout the season.

Sloribunda Roses 
Floribunda Roses or Cluster Roses are a group of Roses especially 
produced for mass planting. They are noted for their permanence, 
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 continuously in numer- 
ous 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. 
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 (Plant Patent No. 880) 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.90 
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.
