STAR 



STARBURST 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meil- 

 land.) Plant Pat. 2949. An informally 

 shaped, rich yellow rose. Its color is deep and true — a bright 

 gold in the open flower but tinged with glowing orange at 

 the petal edge in its early stages. Buds are medium long 

 and pointed, becoming 5-inch flowers of inviting, full- 

 hearted form with light scent. Each bloom opens wide, to 

 show the beautiful large cluster of orange-gold stamens in 

 the center. 



The bush grows to moderate height, well branched and 

 with strong canes. Foliage is large, thick and plentiful, of 

 waxy deep glossy green that fairly shines. It is truly hand- 

 some in itself, forming a dark frame for the deep gold 

 blooms. 



$3.50 ea.— 3 or more, S3. 20 ea.

Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 

 2974. This colorful Grandiflora is a definite bicolor. 

 Buds are yellow at the base, blending to soft orange -yellow at the edge. 

 On the inner surface the color is bright orange-red with pale yellow at 

 the base. Buds are of short pointed form, nicely furled when opening. 

 Flowers about 3 inches wide, very bright, generally in clusters of three. 

 Particularly lovely at the half-open stage when the orange-carmine color 

 shows on the inside of the petals. Light fragrance. Very floriferous. 



Foliage is especially dark, glossy and healthy, and it covers the bush 

 right down to the ground. Medium height — easy to fit in with other roses. 

 $3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.20 ea. 



"I want to thank you for my roses. They arrived in excellent condition. I 

 really appreciated the prompt acknowledgment and shipment. They are 

 growing vigorously. Such well-branched (shaped) plants. At the rate they 

 are growing, they'll be budded and blooming in a very short time."
