GERANIUM RED. Floribunda. Patent 811. ARS 72%. 2%-3 feet. 
One of a small group of Floribundas, planted here in the half shade of our 
redwoods, which “look-up” at me as I write. This brilliant, non-fading 
red with the so-different, frilly petal arrangement and clean fragrance, 
stands out as a distinct personage in the large field of Floribundas.

GLACIER. Patent 1025. Bushy-medium grower. 
Offspring of the highly rated Summer Snow in some clandestine affair with 
an unknown H.T. A new leading contender for first popularity among 
the pure-white floribundas. 
Flowers are large, cupped, double, in great all-season abundance—a 
very hardy, glossy-foliaged, disease-resistant plant. aes 
GOLDILOCKS. Floribunda. Patent 672. ARS 79%. 2-2¥2 feet. 
Bushy, spreading plant, with bright glossy foliage; blooms in panicles of 
five to ten; crisp, well-curled buds open to 2¥2 inch flowers of bright, butter- 
cup yellow, fading more gracefully than most yellows in this class. Made 
a 79% National rating—atfter five years and 347 reports. If you will give 
Goldilocks a little help in "shedding its dead,"’ we believe this is still the 
best all-round yellow polyantha for low border and mass planting. 
“Held its rich color well, even in the strong sunlight of our hot California 
valley,” says Lila McCombs. And Hortense Wild “buttons up” the descrip- 
tion with the following—"Goldilocks at each end of my red Floribunda planting, 
gave it just the neatly gold-buttoned effect, 1 had pictured.” 3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
GRUSS AN AACHEN. Floribunda. 2 feet. 
Tastes differ in all things including roses, and it is the duty of the catalog- 
writer to give the honest facts and keep his personal preferences in the 
background. But I find it difficult to be merely statistical about Gruss an 
Aachen. The big, lush, cupped blooms which hold so much rose beauty, 
may not be the last word in rose fashion, but for ‘all-season, lavish, pearly- 
pink loveliness”, still the best low bedder. 3 tor 3.85 each 1.50 
INDEPENDENCE. Floribunda. Patent 1036. ARS 79%. 29 inches. 
Fire-cracker red’’ says expert grower, O. L. Weeks of Ontario, California. 
The flowers of Hybrid Tea form are larger and more double than is found 
usually in this brilliant color, also many come singly as well as in 
clusters. Guaranteed to be blooming on the fourth of July, and on the fourth 
of each succeeding month until frost comes to distress the ‘‘fall planting” 
advocates. 3 1OL w200 eden .2.00 
IRENE OF DENMARK. Floribunda. Patent 889. ARS 71%. 2 feet. 
Another from the Danish cld-master, Svend Poulsen, so largely responsible 
for the favor of this great race of roses, first in Europe and now in America. 
This is a beautifully formed, sweetheart bud, opening to a 3-inch, forty- 
petalled, pure-white, fragrant bloom. Low-growing, bushy and profuse. 
“In bud a dainty miniature for corsages and arrangements—half opened, looks 
like a baby gardenia, and the fully opened blooms resemble a perfect pompom 
chrysanthemum, beautiful in all stages.’—Mrs. Geo. W. Childers. 
Imagine getting a rose, gardenia and a chrysanthemum combined for 
only 7s
