WEST GROVE 

 PENNSYLVANIA 



Fall, 1957 



iy^eaz TtUnd: 



I've just come from a walk througb our rose fields so that I could give you a first-hand report on our new crop of Star 

 Roses. As usual, I return marveling at the bounty of Nature, and at something else, too . . . the Faith men live by. 

 Here at West Grove we plant our roses in complete confidence that the sun will shine and the rain will fall, each in 

 turn and in sufficient measure to produce for you roses that represent the kind of quality we strive for. We do so (and 

 have been doing so for 61 years now i always depending on our favorable brand of weather, and on good cultural methods, 

 and yet when our Faith has been justified and the new crop of Star Roses nears the harvest time, there is always in us 

 the awareness of miracles performed. 



It occiu-s to me now that much the same feeling must be yours when with confidence you drop your letter to us in the 

 mail-box. If you stop to think of it, your three-cent stamp is backed up by your own Faith ... a million dollars' worth! 

 The wonderful workings of the U. S. mail system bring in your order and deliver our roses to you in miraculous fashion — 

 quickly and efficiently— and justifying time and again your belief in mail-order buying. 



I think it's interesting to note that we, here at Star Roses, may very well have supplied rose plants by mail-order to your 

 father and grandfather— a fact which speaks well today for the mutual confidence you, as the buyer, and we, as the seller, 

 have Ln each other. Time and performance are what build reputations; and we can say, with perhaps more pride than 

 we should admit, that our relations with Star Rose customers of several generations have been based on fair dealing 

 and respect for the rightness of things. 



Our Star Rose crop this year is a good one. I vouch for it. The plants are sturdy and full of life. We send only Grade 1 

 roses, you know . . .never "seconds"; and these this fall are the kind about which we can say, "Never better!" Buy 

 them with confidence. They will give you something more than mere satisfaction. 



I'd like to have you stop by if you're anywhere near us this fall. Our rose fields and gardens are pleasant to visit in 

 September and early October. 



With my best wishes for your garden pleasure with roses, I am 



Sincerely, 



NONE ?\Hi.K ANYWHERE

p.s. 



You can imagine how proud we are to offer you this fall our new introduction. White Knight, the All-America Award 

 Winning Hybrid Tea for 1958, and the only white Hybrid Tea Rose ever to win this honor; see cover and page 3. It's 

 a truly great new rose which you will enjoy having. Another of our new roses, Lavender Girl, is most unusual, too.
