Everblooming Star Roses 
*ETOILE DE FEU. Pernet. Flame-color. 
Globular buds of glowing flame (hence its name, 
meaning “‘star of fire’) gradually open to blooms 
of coral-pink and glowing reddish salmon, which 
are full and very large; especially fine in hot 
sunshine. Its foliage is rich, glossy, dark green 
and more resistant to disease than most other 
Pernetianas. $1 each. 
*ETOILE DE FRANCE. H.T. Crimson. In 
color and form of bloom, it shows its kinship to 
Chateau de Clos Vougeot, also in rich perfume. 
The buds are globular but unfold regularly until 
the bloom, unusually large, is full to the center 
with crimson-maroon petals. The stems are long 
and firm, a necessary feature for cutting. $1 each.

*GRUSS AN AACHEN. Ben.-Bour. Fawn 
and white. A hybrid of the two extremely 
hardy strains, Bengal and Bourbon, hence its 
unusual robustness. A splendid bedding or 
border variety. It makes more nearly a mass 
effect in bloom than any other lIow-growing 
type of light color, with an assemblage of car- 
mine, yellow, fawn, and white shades. Blooms 
are large and full. In the fall the colors are 
fascmating. $1 each. 
*GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. H.Ben. Crimson. 
Representative of an old, illustrious family, 
boasting Louis Philippe and Cramoist Supérieur 
among its forebears. The flowers come in clus- 
ters, each one perfect, and waving in the breeze 
on a slender stem. The color, when the blooms 
are first opening, Is very rich crimson, quickly 
changing to bright scarlet, shading to velvety 
fiery red. The flowers are medium size, full, 
extremely showy, and handsome, with a per- 
vasive fragrance that is especially delightful.

healthy, vigorous and quite hardy. It is one of 
the Roses everyone wants. Splendid for a hardy,

Star Roses Are Superior 
It is a great pleasure to send you this order for Roses and 
other plants. Last year, our first year at gardening, we bought 
from a number of houses, but your plants were so superior, 
your attention to orders so courteous and exact that this year 
all our purchases are being made with you.—Mrs. Wm. A. W., 
Indianapolis, Ind. February 17, 1930. 
— 
maroon. As a bedding Rose it is peerless, almost W 
continuously producing numbers of semi-single 
but large Roses of dark crimson-maroon, giving 
the optical illusion of long-nap velvet. The deep 
velvety crimson petals do not scorch nor turn 
blue, but increase in richness as the flowers age. 
In the evening, the petals close like the wings of | 
a large butterfly. $1 each.
