FALL 1930 “STAR * 
ete can confidently order these Roses with the assurance that a 

better assortment of standard varieties cannot be had within a range of 
12 kinds. 
The president of a large electrical company was so pleased with the “Star 
Dozen” that he ordered and paid for 63 sets (Order No. 13449) for his business 
friends, although offered other dozens by other firms at a much lower price. 







































The “Star Dozen” originated here over 20 years ago, to help beginners to 
decide on 12 thoroughly dependable, first-class, everblooming Roses, in the 
largest possible assortment of colors. We keep this set up-to-date with new 
and improved varieties as they come on the market. Thus, good Roses are each 
year superseded by newer and better ones. 
You will see in this latest dozen the new Charles P. Kilham, also Ville de 
Paris and that glorious red, Etoile de Hollande, all of which are still in the 
novelty class w ith many other firms. 
Radiance and Red Radiance are still cluded because no other Roses in 
their color and class have yet surpassed them, and now, for the first time, you 
will find Mrs. Charles Bell, the shell-pmk Radiance, im this unrivaled collection. 
Plant the “Star Dozen” Roses this fall. We guarantee them to live through 
_the winter and bloom next summer or we wil refund their cost.

* Etoile de Hollande. #1. 
Star of Holland 
Truly a “Star Dozen” Rose. In our dis- 
Etoile de play gardens, our trial-grounds, and in our 
Hollande. Rose-fields it is one of the most outstand- 
Velvety ing of the red everblooming Roses and the 
crimson color never blues. See in color on inside 
front cover. 
The buds are fine, but the glory of 
this flower is in the half-open bloom 
which comes as near perfection as any 
red Rose we know. The color is deep 
velvety crimson, with- 
out shading; petals are 
large and firm, making 
an unusually fine semi- 
double flower, which is 
deliciously fragrant, and 
freely produced from 
June until hard frost. A 
’ beautiful Rose for cut- 
ting. Has leathery, 
disease-resistant foliage and 
IS a vigorous grower; stands 
some shade. $1 each; 12 for 
$10.80; 25 for $20.
