10 STAR* DOZEN $10-50 



1 *" CONTINUOUS-BLOOMING ROSE BUSHES B ^ 



Every Plant Guaranteed to Bloom within 12 Weeks from Spring Planting or Sooner 



For thirty-four years this firm lias specialized in high-grade Roses. Twenty-three years 

 ago the first Star Dozen was offered, and this now-famous collection has been improved 

 yearly as new and more dependable varieties came on the market. Now, the veriest amateur 

 can confidently depend upon fifteen to twenty dozen magnificent blooms the first season 

 these Roses are planted, and for years afterward will have them to repeat or improve on 

 this performance. 



A big Rose-garden is not necessary. The prize-winning blooms at many local Rose 

 shows come from city back yards. A piece of ground as large as an ordinary kitchen table, 

 where the sun shines three to four hours a day, is large enough in which to grow this dozen 

 Roses to perfection. Have you such a spot? Try this Collection. You run no risk, for every 

 Star Rose is guaranteed to grow and bloom or the money paid for them is refunded. 



1931 STAR DOZEN (Red, Pink, Tinted, Yellow, and White) 

 are illustrated in color on pages 6, 12, 21, 22, and 27 



•ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. H.T. Crimson-Scar- 

 let. See opposite page. The long-pointed, artistic 

 bud is deep red in color, approaching maroon. It 

 opens to a large, semi-double, brilliant crimson- 

 scarlet with a velvety sheen. Its lasting qualities, 

 long stems, and fragrance make it splendid for cut- 

 ting. The vigorous plant-habit makes it ideal for a 

 bedding Rose, and the foliage is handsome and 

 disease-resistant. As a cross between Gen. Mac- 

 Arthur and Hadley, it has the best qualities of both 

 without the weaknesses of either. Unusually winter- 

 hardy. $1 each; 12 for $10.80; 25 for $20. 



*VILLE DE PARIS. Pernet. Buttercup-Yellow. 

 See opposite page. This medal-winning Rose boasts 

 the honor of being named for the city of Paris over 

 77 competitors from 11 countries, when, at the same 

 time, it won the Bagatelle Gold Medal in 1925. The 

 pointed bud has a broad base and opens to a fairly 

 large, fragrant flower. The center does not turn 

 black. Although not giving a profusion of blooms 

 at any one time, it is a steady bloomer all season, 

 taking little rest. It stands weather variations 

 better than most yellows and has notably disease- 

 resistant foliage. $1 each; 12 for $10.80; 25 for $20. 



•BETTY UPRICHARD. H.T. Salmon. See in 

 color, page 21. The copper-red buds open to salmon 

 with a soft "egg-shell" finish, while the reverse of 

 the petals is brilliant coppery carmine. A vigorous 

 grower, but slow starting. $1 each. 



•CHARLES P. KILHAM. H.T. Coral- Red and 



Orange. New. See in color, page 27. Beautifully 

 formed and exquisitely colored buds open to coral- 

 red with orange base. Fine for cutting and a splendid 

 bedding variety. $1.50 each. 



•DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. H.T. Orange- 

 Yellow. See in color, page 12. The long-pointed 

 buds change from deep orange-yellow to lemon. 

 When half-open the deep, cupped bloom shows an 

 abundance of coppery gold anthers. $1 each. 



•KAISERIN AUGUSTE VTKTORIA. H.T. 



Lemon-White. See in color, page 12. A short, ovoid 

 bud followed by a large, full bloom of unusual sub- 

 stance and color. Not vigorous but yet the most 

 popular white Hybrid Tea. $1 each. 



•MRS. AARON WARD. H.T. Golden Fawn. See 

 in color, page 22. In cool weather and when first 

 opening the frilly petaled blooms are golden fawn, 

 changing in bright sunshine to soft pink and cream. 

 Fragrant. $1 each. 



•MRS. HENRY MORSE. H.T. Two-Tone Pink. 

 See in color, page 22. Artistic buds followed by 

 large, long-lasting blooms, pleasantly perfumed and 

 fine for cutting. A healthy, hardy bush. The most 

 perfect two-tone pink. $1 each. 



•MRS. CHARLES BELL. H.T. Shell-Pink 

 Radiance. A superb sport of the famous Radiance; 

 equal in many respects, but distinct in color. The 

 shell-pink diffused with salmon gives it a pearl 

 opalescence. $1 each. 



•RADIANCE. H.T. Rose-Pink. See in color, page 

 21. The most universally popular Rose in America. 

 Vigorous and hardy, with persistent, healthy foliage 

 and fragrant pink blooms. It stands more abuse 

 than any other Rose and is the amateur's Rose par 

 excellence. $1 each. 



•LADY ASHTOWN. H.T. 

 Rich Pink. See in color, page 

 12. Produces great quanti- 

 ties of unmatched pink 

 blooms with a golden under- 

 glow. At its best in midsum- 

 mer and fall. A very hardy, 

 semi-tall bush. $1 each. 



295 Roses the First Season from Star -Ar Dozen 



March 26, 1930 

 Would like to say a few words regarding your 

 Star Dozen Roses. From May 30, 1929, to frost we 

 cut 295 Roses. On Mrs. Aaron Ward we sometimes 

 had 15 buds at a time, and such a Rose when in bud! 

 We certainly are pleased with the Star Collection. — 

 R. C. A., Kingston, Pa. 



•RED RADIANCE. H.T. 



Cerise-Red. See in color, page 

 21. A sport of Radiance, it 

 has the same form, habit of 

 growth, fragrance, and 

 healthy foliage. The differ- 

 ence is in the cerise-red color. 

 $1 each.
