FERDINAND PICHARD—One of our ‘Favorite Six.” 
FERDINAND PICHARD. H. Perpetual. (1921.) 5 - 6 feet. 
Gives the ‘mad Gallicas”’ pretty strong competition for top honors among 
striped roses. Beautiful big plants with pleasing lettuce-green foliage— 
produce abundantly and throughout the season, fragrant, crisp-looking 
double blooms striped bright red and white. Responds in a big way to 
pegging.’ Ferdinand is included by Hon. Secretary and the catalog- 
writer, in-their limited list of favorite old roses. Want to join us? 2.00 
F. J. GROOTENDORST. H. Rugosa. (1918.) 6 feet. 
This and its companion the Pink Grootendorst, listed later, should be in 
every rose garden, where more variety than a mere bevy of hybrid tea 
beauties is desired. Plant is vigorous, disease proof, easily kept within 
bounds, and has the characteristic handsome rugose foliage. Blooms 
are in clusters, bright red in some locations, crimson in others, its unique 
feature being the serrated edges which almost exactly resemble a car- 
nation; in constant and profuse bloom. 1.75
