Rose Inn adjoining our Jennersville Property on U. S. Highway No. 1. (Built 1740 and 1820.) 



Visit Our Star Rose-Gardens 



You will enjoy a visit to Star Rose-Gardens. 

 We are conveniently located (on Atlantic 

 Coast Highway — U. S. Route No. 1) be- 

 tween Philadelphia (40 miles) and Baltimore 

 (60 miles). Also, we are only 10 miles south 

 of Lincoln Highway and but 3 miles from the 

 short-cut from the great West to Atlantic 

 City and other seaside resorts via Wilming- 

 ton, Del. The famous du Pont Gardens, at 

 Longwood, are only 9 miles from here. 

 When calling, look for the sign of the Star — 

 stay as long as you can. Rest a while at the 

 delightful, quaint, century-old Rose Inn shown 

 above. Roses are at their best in June, 

 July, and September — August and October 

 are delightful, too. Visitors always welcome.

Order No. 23340 November 26, 1930 



After seeing the strong, healthy canes and 

 the splendid root-growth of Star Roses, it 

 is no wonder to me that you are able to 

 guarantee every bush to bloom. — J. C. S., 

 Tucson, Ariz. 



We Grow Our Own Star Roses 



Building a Rose bush is an all-season process. What the har- 

 vest will be depends upon many things. For example, we plow 

 the ground double-depth, we feed the plants generously; during 

 three years of growth each plant gets the pruning shears several 

 different times. But no feature is more important than that 

 healthy foliage be retained throughout the season; a plant that 

 prematurely drops its leaves stops building wood, and such a 

 plant promises disappointment to the purchaser. All such we 

 aim to eliminate. 



Because of the many chances of failure from Roses that have 

 been carelessly grown or heedlessly handled, we try to steer clear 

 of purchasing Roses from unknown sources. We are pleased to 

 offer you plants that have been grown under our own control and 

 observation — plants that have had the advantage of care based 

 upon skill and experience that have come from years and years 

 of doing one thing well. 



Rose specialists we are, and Rose 

 specialists, too, are the men whose 

 families have been associated with us these many years. In 

 planting, in summer care and autumn harvest, in storage and 

 winter care of hundreds of thousands of living plants, faithful, 

 assiduous, constant vigilance is essential to the highest success. 

 Because Roses for first-class results must have such attention, 

 and because Star Roses have been so 

 grown and so cared for, these facts ex- 

 plain why the demand for Star Roses /\J) /^ > )
