 TO INSURE STAR QUALITY ROSES . . . 



. . . we recommend them highly to you I 



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. Containing the latest and most 

 effective accepted ingredients, Star Rose Dust provides 

 the complete protection your roses deserve. For 

 greatest economy and best coverage apply dust lightly. 

 Regular applications will keep your roses at their best. 

 Lb. $2.95; 3 lbs. $7.95; 24 lbs. $39.90, ppd. 



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. $3.75; 

 3 lbs. $9.90, 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. $2.90; 10 lbs. 

 $4.65; 25 lbs. $6.95, ppd. 



STAR ROSE GROW (Not illustrated) 



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. Good 

 for house plants, too, as well as miniature roses. The 

 basic formula of 15% nitrogen, 30% available phos- 

 phoric 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. 

 $3.50; 3 lbs. $6.95, 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.

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. 



PROFESSIONAL PRUNER 



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

 specially designed German shears do an easy, efficient 

 job of cutting. $6.95, ppd. 



ROSELIFE 



Add days to the life of your cut blooms! Follow these 

 simple steps: 



1. Prepare Roselife and warm water (about 100 

 degrees) as directed on package. 



2. Plunge stems of cut blooms into this water after re-

 from the stem end with a sharp knife. 



3. Keep in cool place for two hours or longer.
