A Star® Rose 



Is the Best 

 You Can Buy 



We warmly invite you to 

 visit the fertile fields in 

 southeastern Pennsylvania 

 where Star Roses grow. You will notice — 

 if you come several years in a row — that a 

 field planted to roses one year will have 

 grass in it the next four years in order to 

 build up our soil fertility so we can produce 

 the finest rose plants possible. 



All other steps are taken with equal care 

 — selection of the understock (for good 

 roots), budding, cultivation, spraying, har- 

 vesting, storing, packing and shipping — 

 all of the necessary 1 57 separate steps it 

 takes. It is because we are so "finicky" 

 that we can say with confidence that a 

 Star Rose is the best you can buy.

CHRYSLER IMPERIAL 



Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) 

 Plant Pat. 1167. A famous rose 

 (W^ known and loved for its wonderful deep red color and 

 ^^ richly satisfying fragrance. The glowing crimson-red 

 color with even darker overtones and the intoxicating per- 

 fume provide a combination that most people simply cannot 

 resist. Full, solid buds and large, high-centered blooms with 

 40 to 50 huge petals . . . just about perfect. 



An outstanding rose for cutting, with many years of proven 

 ability to please, this is a perennial winner at rose shows 

 everywhere. And as a standard red for any garden it is hard 

 to beat, or even equal. It is not an "addition" to a rose 

 planting; it is one of the dozen or so Hybrid Teas that are 

 indispensable in any garden of roses. The bush is strong, 

 handsomely shaped and of medium height. Plenty of vigor- 

 ous, dark foliage provides a most effective setting. 

 $3.50 ea.— 3 or more, $3.10 ea.
