The "STAR DOZEN" has been our prize collection for over a 

 quarter century. The first twelve Roses under this name were sent out 

 in 1909. During the succeeding years, as new and better Roses were 

 produced by hybridizers all over the world, we eliminated varieties one 

 by one as they were superseded by superior sorts, until now not one of the original "Dozen" is 

 left in this collection. Instead, this 1936 Star Dozen comprises twelve of the sturdiest-growing, 

 healthiest, and most free-blooming of the modern Roses. Ten originated in Europe, one, Golden 

 Dawn, came from Australia, and another, President Herbert Hoover, was produced in the United 

 States and, happily, it is one of the grandest Everblooming Roses ever originated anywhere. 



So much for the history of the Star Dozen. Your interest lies in the fact that here are 

 waiting for you 12 Roses that we, with 38 years' experience, have chosen as the very best 

 12 varieties available for beauty of flower, for healthiness, hardiness, and freedom of bloom, 

 while at the same time including 3 shades of red, 2 shades of pink, 3 lovely tinted varieties, 

 3 shades of yellow, and one splendid white. -JL— 

 Eight of these are shown in natural colors 

 and all are fully described in this Catalog 



Plant the Star Dozen this spring and you 

 will have hundreds of blooms to cut all sum- 

 mer and until frost. We guarantee every one 

 of these Roses to bloom within 12 weeks from 



date of planting.
