Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 1814. The 

 handsome blooms of this All-America Win- 

 ner are a soit delicate combination of rich ivory in the 

 ^«^ center of the bloom giving way to creamy tones, with a deli- 

 cate flush of appleblossom-pink that steals over the flower. In 

 spite of these melting colors Garden Party is a bold, dramatic 

 rose with 25 to 30 large flaring petals of excellent texture and 

 substance that you think of as almost white. Bloom is plentiful 

 and continues all season long. Stiff stems and long lasting ability 

 make Garden Party a perfect cutting rose. The plant is tall, very 

 strong and well branched. Distinctive foliage, reddish underneath 

 and with noticeable red veins, provides the perfect background 

 for this very lovely, very alluring rose. Garden Party has a dis- 

 tinguished family tree, for its parents are Peace and Charlotte 

 Armstrong. And this ancestry is apparent in many features of 

 Garden Party. The fact that it has won its fair share of awards 

 at rose shows everywhere is proof of the beauty and quality that 

 you will enjoy throughout the summer.

"A Christmas Gift rose, Garden Party, sent to us reached me yesterday. 

 It arrived in such perfect condition so beautifully packed that I had to 

 write these few words to commend Star Roses." 



Mrs. L. M. P., Texas 



"You have sent me the very finest rose plants this year that I have ever 

 seen. I know that you already know they are the finest. I just want to 

 let you know that I know it too. This is a 'nutty' letter but you get 

 the idea." j, d, k.. Missouri 



Hybrid Tea. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 2058. Here 

 is a rose that can well be a standby, for it pro- 

 vides the color and the perfume that are so popular. This classic 

 red is like a dream come true — a combination of stirring color, 

 delightful fragrance and enormous size. The brilliant carmine-red 

 grows even more intense as the big blooms slowly open to their 

 full 6-inch size. And this magnificent color remains unfading 

 until the last petals drop. Petals ari wide and velvety, arranged 

 in a high pointed form, with those around the outer edge rolled 

 back in a most beautiful wa)' and framing the elegant high center. 

 The strong stems are of medium length and bear the flowers both 

 singly and several together. Growth is vigorous and upright to 

 about 3 feet, and the leathery, cress-green foliage abundantly 

 covers the plant. Bloom continues through the hottest weather, 

 making Americana a fine plant for garden decoration all season

Hybrid Tea. (McCummings.) Plant Pat. 



2278. For a fresh new look Candy Stripe is 

 most pleasing ... an interesting departure from the conventional. 

 This nonchalant flower has a teasing way of displaying its gay 

 stripes. The basic rose-pink color is irregularly marked with 

 streaks of lighter pink and off-white from petal base to outer edge. 

 This gives the 6-inch blooms an unique flourish that is a delightful 

 surprise. And strangely enough, the pattern of the lighter streaks 

 and flecks is not precisely repeated on the underside of the petals. 

 Each side of each petal is a different design . . . and frequently 

 there is an all-pink petal. A sport of Pink Peace, Candy Stripe 

 produces great quantities of big, colorful blooms with decidedly 

 pleasing fragrance. The plant is quite tall and has fine growing 

 ability. The foliage is medium green with lighter green ribbing. 

 When you wish for something completely different, Candy Stripe 

 is a good choice . . . light and informal in manner but a very free 

 bloomer, and fragrant as well. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.
