Ew! Redcap—showy new red Jiminy Cricket 
N e For Your 1955 Rose Garden 
Redcap A New Armstrong Floribunda 
There will seldom be a day when this new Armstrong Floribunda is not 
covered with a fiery red mantle of bloom which seems to glow as if 
lighted from within. Both the clusters and the individual blooms are much 
larger than usual for a Floribunda. The wavy petaled flowers open a bright 
vermilion gradually deepening to a rich velvety crimson which is even more 
attractive than the opening color. There is a lot of long-lasting substance to 
the individual flowers, and the big clusters make it possible to cut a whole 
bouquet with a single snip. 
Redcap features a plant which is extremely vigorous, 2 to 3 feet in height, 
upright and compact. Easy to grow, it has good-looking foliage with a high 
degree of resistance to foliage troubles. Originated at the Armstrong Nurseries 
by H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. No. 1292. $2.50 each; 3 or more, $2.20 each; 
25 or more, $2.00 each. 
Jiminy Cricket All-America 1955 
The big feature of this 1955 All-America Winner in the Floribunda 
class is the sparkling new color—a bright apricot-orange. The aging 
AA\RS flowers finish a lighter salmon-orange, but from beginning to end, 
the color never has a dull moment. Each of the almost endless 
procession of buds and flowers is a perfect rose in miniature and is delight- 
ful whether in the garden or used as a cut flower in the house. 
A variety which grows to medium height (2 to 3 feet), Jiminy Cricket boasts 
a vigorous rounded plant well clothed with glossy green foliage. The fine 
rich color and the constant blooming habit make this ideal for hedges, for 
massing, or for a flattering addition to your present rose garden. Plant Pat. 
App. for. $2.50 each; 3 or more, $2.20 each; 25 or more, $2.00 each. 
Frolic—for continuous color you can’t beat it. 
The "Bloomingest' 
° Floribunda of All 
Frolic 
’ 
| 
We have never seen a Floribunda or any other rose, which could match : 
the astounding number of flowers produced by Frolic—not just once 
in a while but almost continuously throughout the season. The flowers 
are borne in unbelievably large clusters with each perfect bud opening | 
to a double bloom of clear bright pink about 234 inches across. Each 
large cluster crowds close to its neighbor so at times the plant will 
literally be hidden under a blanket of bloom. Growing 2 to 3 feet in 
height, the plant is extremely vigorous. It has a well rounded habit 
and its ability to produce flowers almost down to the ground makes it 
just right for hedge or border planting. You will never have to worry 
about how many flowers you cut either, because there will always be 
plenty more. Plant Pat. No. 1179. 
$2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each; 25 or more, $1.80 each.
