IffttE STAR ROSES 



The Delicately Lovely CONFIDENCE 



•CONFIDENCE. H.'i". (Meillaiul.i Plant Pat. 1192. Giant blooms of peach and pink, delicately 

 blended, and very large petals distinguish this pastel beauty, which, since its introduction as a STAR 

 ROSE a few years ago, has earned a prominent spot in America's gardens. This kind of loveliness 

 will never lose favor. In France, Confidence won both the famed Bagatelle and " Most Beautiful Rose 

 of France" awards — a recommendation it uj)holds in this country through admirable performance 

 as well as sheer beauty of color. The generous blooms are notably fragrant, each 6-inch flower adding 

 its perfume to the summer air and making the spot you give it pleasant, indeed! Confidence is a fine 

 Rose in other respects, loo ... in form of bud and flower; in the broad, upright shai>eliness of the 

 plant; in the good foliage, with its handsome green color. However Confidence is judged, it rates high 

 and in the sum total offers a fine combination of worthwhile qualities. One of the most successful 

 seedlings of Peace (see below), from the hand of that master creator of fine Roses, Francis Meilland, 

 Confidence is a Rose which deserves all the praise it has received, and more. It is bound to become 

 one of your special favorites — once you really know it. $2.25 ea.; 3 or more, $2 ca.

•PE-\CE. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 591. The almost legendeu-y, and certainly romantic, history 

 of this great Rose is equalled by none — anywhere! Millions of Peace Roses are in American gardens 

 today, but not all of their owners know, for instance, that the budwood from which those millions 

 originated was actually "snmggled" out of France from under the very noses of the invading Ger- 

 mans ... a package weighing oidy one pound secreted in the diplomatic pouch of the American Consul 

 at Lyon, France! For the next three years, the originator of the Rose himself knew nothing of what 

 had happened to that package of budwood. But here at Star Roses, during 

 that time, the Rose was being grown for American gardeners. It made its 

 debut in 1915 . . . the most (-elebrated Rose, and the most worthy of cele- 

 bration, we have ever had. If you already have one, then you will want more. 



Peace is really fabulous! Exceptionally large and vigorous, the 

 plant produces gorgeous golden flowers with the most delicate pink 

 edging on the huge petals. This perfect delight in color and form is 

 borne on long, heavy canes. The leaves ai-e rich and leathery, the 

 entire plant giving the happiest impression. You deserve to know 

 this Rose firsthand. S2.50 ea.; 3 or more. $2.20 ea.
