FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Generally speaking this group of roses are small flowered, but like 
the Azalea, there are a lot of them. The popular Cecile Brunner [ey 
is one extreme while Red Ripples and Floradora are more showy 
because the flowers are in good size clusters. Beds of Floribundas 
are very bright and showy. The dwarfer ones make fine borders 
for the rose garden, or plant in groups of three or more to enliven 
the shrubbery. Ideal for flower arrangements and bouquets. 
BETTY PRIOR (Pat. 340). In the early spring, the single blooms 
resemble the flowers of a red-flowering dogwood tree, and are 
produced in great clusters. Blooms continuously throughout the 
season, opening a lively red color, and turning to delicate shell-pink 
as the flowers age. $1.50 each, bare root. 
CECILE BRUNNER. Most popular and best known of the baby roses. 
Small pink buds open to double flowers. Bright pink with a touch 
of yellow at the base of petals. Continuous bloomer. $1.50 each,
