PINOCCHIO—"Head Man of a Famous Family.” 
PERLE D'OR. Polyantha. 12-2 feet. 
Low-growing, spreading, “bright-eyed and bushy tailed.” (It must be right— 
I heard it in Texas.) Not butter-yellow as most of us think of “gold,” ... 
the perfectly formed miniature buds are better described, golden apricot 
or peach, if preferred, with gold predominating in right weather and not 
too bright sun. Sister to the beloved Cecile Brunner. 3 for 3.85 each 1.50 
PINK BOUNTIFUL. Floribunda. Patent 601. ARS 79%. 3 - 4 feet. 
Most of these patented Floribundas have their fanfare and heyday then 
like stage favorites, retire to make room for the younger, if not more 
beautiful generation. Not so, Pink Bountiful! Since the last catalog written 
1952, popular rating has advanced four points. ‘Bountiful’’ surely is the 
name for it—the dainty, 3 inch, 50-petalled blossoms are of fine Hybrid 
Tea form—come on good cutting stems, and plant habit is par excellence. 
Wilma Darcy's favorite floribunda. 3 for 3.85 eae oe 
PINKIE. Floribunda. Patent 712. ARS 79%. 18 inches. 
Pinkie was All-America award winner in 1948, in the days when Flori- 
bundas, to be recognized, had to be very good indeed. Blossoms lavishly 
—fairly covering the foliage. The 2 inch, semi-double, cupped flowers are 
soft pink or “Neyron rose.’ Plant is dwarf, bushy, always healthy and 
happy. 3 for 4.65 each 1.75 
PINOCCHIO. Floribunda. Patent 484. ARS 76%. 2 feet. 
Founder, and certainly “head man” of the now famous Pinocchio family, 
described by creator Eugene Boerner, in Popular Gardening.” He says 
in part—‘Pinocchio, as brash as its little Italian namesake, continued to ‘bust out 
all over’ in exquisitely formed buds, clusters of salmon-pink blossoms and lush 
foliage ...Its fame soon spread beyond the florist shops. In 1943 it was introduced 
to gardeners, and was immediately endeared to them. They found it lovely, hardy 
and wonderful for hedges, points of accent in doorways and bright contrasts to 
evergreens in foundation plantings!” | like this Floribunda and its offspring, 
too! 3 for 3.85 each 1.50
