SOME STAR* ROSE FAVORITES 



STARBURST 



Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 2974. This is a bicolor Grandi- 

 flora, bursting with Hfe and gaiety. Buds are yellow at the 

 base, blending into 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 of fine form, medium size and maxi- 

 mum brightness are generally in clusters of three on good 

 stems. Particularly lovely at the half-open stage when the 

 orange-carmine color shows on the inside of the petals. Fra- 

 grance is light and pleasing. 



The foliage of Starburst is unusually dark, glossy and 

 healthy, and it covers the plant right down to the ground. 

 Of medium height, to fit easily into any planting scheme. An 

 excellent place for it would be beside your front door, with 

 some evergreens as a background. 

 $3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2986. A 

 new rose last year, Laura has a "lady-like" air that is softly 

 appealing. The color is a fresh, clear, sweet salmon-pink, gentler on the 

 outside of the petals and warmer inside. Very appealing at all stages 

 with big broad petals that hold the clean color until they fall. Blooms 

 are up to 5 inches across and full but not heavy. Buds are first ovoid 

 and then long, opening to rounded blooms. Flowers come freely and 

 mostly one to a strong stem. Fine for cutting. Fragrance is good. 



The plant is almost regal — tall, upright, graceful, vigorous. The fo- 

 liage — reddish green, becoming medium green — clothes the plant well. 

 SORRY, ONLY ONE TO A CUSTOMER THIS YEAR.

Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 1359. A fine pure white rose with curled 

 petals producing a star effect. The beautifully shaped buds open 

 ^^' to firm, satiny white blooms of medium size on good stems. An 

 excellent rose for cutting — not so large as to be overpowering when 

 combined with other varieties in an arrangement. The fascinating 

 shape of the flower contrasts well with roses having rounded or fluted 

 petals, for White Knight's star form is quite distinctive. The upright 

 plant has moderate vigor and good disease resistance. 



Bloom production may not be so plentiful as you would wish, but the 

 clear white color and the lovely exhibition form of the flower are so 

 admired that many growers think the blooms are worth waiting for. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea.
