TROPICANA 
Golden Girl 
Grandiflora. One of the very best yel- 
lows. Melting golden yellow at the 
center of the flower, with soft ivory at 
the petal edges. The blooms are fully 
double, of medium size and produced in 
quantity all season long. Long, slender 
buds with graceful sepals, much like 
those of Eclipse which for years has 
been held as the ideal for bud form. Gol- 
den Girl has more petals though, and for 
that reason holds its shape better than 
Eclipse and therefore lasts longer. 
A tall, imposing yellow’ for 
background planting. Bushy and erect, 
with light green leaves. Full of buds and 
blooms all season until stopped by frost. 
A vigorous, compact grower, Golden 
Girl is a totally satisfying rose—a mod- 
ern and better version of Eclipse. (Meil- 
land.) Plant Pat. 1912. 
$4.50 ea.—3 or more, $4.20 ea. 
“We have never spent a more pleasant morn- 
ing than the one spent yesterday at Star 
Roses. We have just started planting roses 
and plan on buying some from Star Roses this 
fall. We intend to visit this terrific place more 
often.”

““Pve dealt with X nursery, Y nursery, and Z 
nursery. Yours have been healthier plants, 
better starters, and produced better than 
all.”

Tropicana 
>, Known and loved the world over for its bright, intense, *‘fluores- 
> cent’’ orange-red color and for its exceptional qualities as a cut rose. 
Appropriately named ‘‘Super Star’? in Europe. Tropicana is a bright, 
intense orange-red, not deep but with a luminous quality to the petals 
that makes it come alive. This superb color holds exceptionally well, 
even in the hottest sun and when cut and brought indoors. Buds are 
exquisite and prized by flower arrangers. Blooms are double, medium 
large—4'2 to 5 inches—elegantly formed and with good, strong fra- 
grance. Tropicana ts truly a classic. 
Tall and bushy, well shaped plants are covered with shiny green 
disease resistant foliage and are decorative in their own right. Easy to 
grow for it is thrifty, hardy and it brings good quantities of vibrant bloom 
all season. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 1969. 
$4.90 ea. —3 or more, $4.60 ea.
