Order by Mail 



Here's what one of our New York custom- 

 ers has to say about mail-order buying: 

 "For many years I have been quite skeptical 

 of the value of bargains and even more 

 skeptical of 'mail-order bargains,' and it was 

 with this attitude that I ordered your Special Offer 

 of 3 Peace roses from The New York Times. This brief note 

 is to tell you how wrong you have proven me to be — the roses 

 arrived promptly, in superb condition and of the highest 

 quality." 



Ordering by mail from this Star Rose catalog is easy, quick, 

 safe, convenient. No parking, no waiting, no confusion, no 

 more expensive. One order will convince you.

Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 



1969. This rose has had world-wide 

 I^S^ distribution and is known also as "Super Star." 

 ^4»- We certainly agree that it is super. In fact, it is 

 now considered a classic. The word "fluorescent" 

 is often used in an attempt to describe the full impact 

 of this color. Its bright orange-red is intense but not 

 too deep and is full of a luminosity that makes it come 

 alive. This rich color holds exceedingly well too, 

 even in the hottest sun. 



The flowers are medium large — A]/2 to 5 inches — 

 elegantly formed and with pronounced fragrance. 

 Buds are particularly lovely and are prized by flower 

 arrangers. Quite tall and bushy, with shiny green 

 leaves. Easy to grow, for it is thrifty, hardy and a free 

 bloomer ail season.

Hybrid Tea. (Johnston.) 

 Plant Pat. 2037. Shimmering 

 pink, canary-yellow and occasional coppery tones are 

 blended in dramatic fashion. These are huge, high- 

 centered flowers with 50 to 60 large petals of firm 

 texture, coming from big solid buds. They hold their 

 shape well and last for days. Very thick, strong stems 

 and Hght but sweet fragrance. 



Chicago Peace is a sport of the famous Peace rose 

 with even livelier color and more fragrance than its 

 parent, plus the same extraordinarily vigorous plant 

 and big leathery leaves. It resists practically any 

 rain or wind storm of summer and blooms repeatedly 

 throughout the season. Tall, very sturdy . . . you 

 will never want to do without it. This has become 

 recognized as one of the truly great roses of all time. 

 A winner everywhere.
