A COLOR FOR EVERY TASTE 



exotic-looking rose that will appeal to those who want 

 large flower size and brilliant color above all else. Coral- 

 orange is as close to a color description as you can get . . . 

 with a warm, iridescent glow that lights up the bloom. 

 Exquisite buds and huge 63^-inch flowers, fully double but 

 with an open center. Tips of the petals are gracefully waved 

 and there is a touch of yellow at the base. Both the color 

 and the flower form hold for the entire life of the bloom, 

 both outdoors and in the house. A heady, fruity scent sug- 

 gests the tropics. Reddish foliage turns glossy dark green 

 as it matures. Hardy and vigorous, the plant produces 

 blooms on long cutting stems. Such a lush beauty as Poly- 

 nesian Sunset is made to be admired in arrangements 

 where its stunning color and rich perfume can be enjoyed 

 at close range.

Roses Give So Much for So Little 



It is not realistic to say that roses require no 

 care. They do. But if you start with a good 

 bush ... a Star Rose . . . and give it a 

 careful planting followed by a regular pro- 

 gram of care, you will enjoy fine results. 

 Perhaps you will thrive on your neighbors' com- 

 ments on your beautiful garden ... or proudly 

 bear some roses of your own raising to a friend ... or 

 notice how well you sleep after your bending exercises out 

 in the yard. Or you may look on these as the side results 

 and consider your main benefit to be the joy of working 

 with the elements to bring more beauty to the face of 

 the earth. 



^/^/tj/>/:rn Hybrid Tea. (Kordes.) Plant Pat. 1604. A 

 i///i/ul/U' rose with a naine like Perfecta needs both a 

 strong constitution and a distinctive color in order to de- 

 serve its name. On both counts this one passes the test. 

 The plant is so eager to grow and produce that it merits a 

 place in any garden. The petals are creamy white with 

 margins of rosy red and a light suffusion of yellow at the 

 base, so softly fused that the bloom always takes center 

 stage. It is extra full, with a high center and a diameter of 

 bout 5 inches. Very long lasting, with good old-fashioned 

 fragrance. The first crop of bloom is no sooner gone than 

 the next is pushing its way to the fore. Glossy, 

 heavy dark foliage covers the plant, which will 

 reach a height of about 3 feet. Truly a winner 

 that you will enjoy for years.
