1st. It SB of strong and rapid growth* more vigorous than 

 any other forcing variety in commerce. 



2nd. It comes to perfection without special care or culture 

 and can be grown in the same soil and temperature and 

 with the same treatment given to Bride and Maid. 



8rd. It ships perfectly, as it can be cut very tight and devel- 

 ops as well off as on the bush. 



4th. Has very near the same tone of color as Liberty, with 

 more scarlet and does not blue with age. 



Was awarded the silver cup at the World's Fair for 



6tb. This variety is nearly a pure tea, being seeded from 

 LADY BATTERSE A, fertilized by LIBERTY, and as 

 a result has shown no tendency toward going dormant in 

 mid- winter, at which time the variety is at its very best 



6th. Produces freely throughout the year, long pointed bud^ 

 on tall straight stems with elegant dark foliage. 



7th. Is as easy to root, and grafts as readily as Bride or Maid. 



Stfar' Has as delicious a fragrance as American Beauty.
