WE USE THESE PRODUCTS OURSELVES 

 TO INSURE STAR QUALITY ROSES . . . 



. . . we recommend them highly to you! 



STAR ROSE DUST 



The same all-purpose formulation which we find so 

 effective in our rose growing fields is available to you 

 in Star Rose Dust. Improved with the new bug and 

 beetle killer, Sevin® along with Phaltan'B', Kelthane, 

 and Lindane, Star Rose Dust provides the complete 

 protection your roses deserve. For greatest economy 

 and best coverage apply dust lightly. Regular appli- 

 cations will keep your roses at their best. Lb. SI. 95; 

 4 lbs. $5.95; 25 lbs. $29.95, ppd. 



Note: Sevin® is the Registered Trade Mark of the 

 Union Carbide Company. 



STAR ROSE SPRAY 



This do-it-all spray contains the same powerful ingre- 

 dients as Star Rose Dust. One pound makes 10 gallons 

 of spray, and gives you the most complete plant pro- 

 tection possible in a single formulation. Fully proved 

 by regular use in our own fields. Star Rose Spray is eco- 

 nomical and easy to use. Many gardeners use both 

 Dust and Spray. See "Which is Better — Dust or 

 Spray?" (in opposite column) for the reasons. A pound 

 of Star Rose Spray goes a very long way. Lb. $3.65; 

 4 lbs. $11.95, ppd. 



STAR ROSE FERTILIZER 



This is a high quality balanced plant food ... a fer- 

 tilizer developed out of long experience in knowing 

 what roses thrive on. Contains organic and inorganic 

 material, available nitrogen, phosphorus and potash 

 in 7-7-7 analysis. We believe this fertilizer is best for 

 roses, mums and other garden flowers, lawns, vegetable 

 gardens or wherever you need to give plants a bal- 

 anced diet. Use it when planting your roses and regu- 

 larly as they grow. Star Rose Fertilizer is a favorite 

 with both experts and amateurs. 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. 

 $2.95; 25 lbs. $5.95, ppd. 



STAR ROSE GROW {Not Ulustrated) 



Sometimes called Speed Feed, Star Rose Grow is ideal 

 as a starter solution in transplanting and for leaf feed- 

 ing of roses and other plants . . . especially effective 

 in perking up old, starved, or neglected plants. Star 

 Rose Grow is also the right food for miniature roses 

 and your house plants. The basic formula of 15% 

 nitrogen, 30% available phosphoric acid and 15% 

 potash gives you a quickly effective "pep-up" for your 

 plants. 2 to 4 teaspoons of Star Rose Grow makes a 

 gallon of solution. Lb. $1.25, ppd. 



WIRE LABEL 

 STAKES 



Use these stakes to hold the 

 Star tags from all your roses 

 and the labels for the other 

 plants in your garden. Long 

 lasting and inexpensive, wire 

 label stakes are handy and 

 make identifying your plants 

 easy. Labels are not included. 

 2 doz. $1.90; 5 doz. $4.25;

ADMIRAL DUSTER 



Very inexpensive but efficient to use, this improved 

 model of a favorite duster delivers an even flow of dust 

 to the plant. Plunger is self-lubricating, easy working. 

 A long extension tube and a swivel head deliver dust 

 where you want it — at the tops and bottoms of plants 

 and the undersides of leaves. Easily loaded through a 

 large fill opening. The Admiral is light weight and 

 always ready to use. $3.95, ppd. 



PROFESSIONAL PRUNER 



Just like the pruners we use in the rose fields, these 

 specially designed German shears do an easy, efficient 

 job of cutting. $4.95, ppd. 



WHICH IS BETTER- 

 DUST OR SPRAY? 



Both give effective protection. Dusting is quicker be- 

 cause you can keep your duster filled, ready for use 

 after a rain or at the first hint of trouble. Spraying, on 

 the other hand, gives wider coverage, therefore better 

 control. For these reasons many expert gardeners use 

 both Star Rose Dust and Star Rose Spray for worry- 

 free rose gardening. Whether you choose dusting or 

 spraying or a combination of both practices you can 

 put your trust in these products — we do. When apply- 

 ing dusts or sprays remember that light, widespread 

 coverage is more effective than a deluge. Also, during 

 hot weather, it is best to spray after sundown to avoid 

 spray burn on the young, tender leaves and shoots.
