Hybrid Tea. (Kordes.) Lovely velvety 

 crimson, pointed buds open to double 

 blooms of good substance. By today's standards they are not extra 

 large, but their rich Damask fragrance has made this rose a by- 

 word. Crimson Glory blooms freely and continuously on a very 

 strong but low-growing plant. Its only fault is the stems tend to 

 droop a little. Foliage is large, clean dark green. 



An older rose that enjoys a tremendous reputation, even today, 

 for its beauty, color and heavy fragrance. Planted for its perfume 

 alone, it is worthwhile but you will love its warm velvety color too. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (Gillot.) Another "old- 

 timer" that brings pleasant memories 

 stretching back over 40 years, when we first introduced this 

 French rose (call it Sister Therese, if you like). 



Beautiful buttercup-yellow in color, with fine long buds for 

 cutting. Large, fairly double blooms of good shape and sub- 

 stance, often touched with carmine and usually borne in clusters. 

 Light fragrance. Gives lots of bloom. Very sturdy plant of me- 

 dium height, hardy and undemanding in any climate. Known 

 and loved for years because of its reliability. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (Howard.) The rose that made 

 history — it created a sensation when it first 

 came out because it was the first breakthrough in multicolors, an 

 orange and rose combination. Blooms are of medium size, double, 

 with pleasant perfume. At its best in spring and fall. Easy to grow, 

 but don't expect much of it through the hot weather — it takes a 

 summer vacation. Fairly tall, with long stems. Light green, 

 leathery foliage. 



There are many better roses than this, but if, for sentiment's 

 sake, you must have Talisman — here it is. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (Dot.) A distinct 

 Uu V ('(/'l/ (/ bicolor of yellow and rose-scarlet. 

 Always bright and gay, with heavy perfume in addition to its 

 warm colors. Oval buds and very full blooms on good stiff stems. 

 Medium height, vigorous and free blooming, with glossy dark 

 leaves. 



When we introduced this rose (almost 40 years ago) it aroused 

 great enthusiasm because of its bicolor effect and strong plant. It 

 still has these features to recommend it, but for a newer rose of 

 similar colors and better size, may we suggest that you look at 

 Colorama on page 15. 



$2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



"Dear Mr. Hutton: I read your introductior to the Spring Catalog with 

 much interest and a lot of pleasure. It warmed me not only for what it 

 has to say about the wonders of roses, but also for its revelation of what 

 has happened to the art and science of cultivating them during the past 

 few generations. It is my wish that you may continue to enjoy life for 

 many, many more years to come. 



"I was introduced to Star Roses soon after World War I. Since then, I 

 have been a strong customer of Star Roses and a completely satisfied one 

 as well. Your Guarantee is one of the best in the world." 



A. E. M., Virginia 



"This letter is merely to let you know how much we are enjoying our 

 Star Roses. Laura is absolutely magnificent! She is all you promised 

 and more, as is Pharaoh. They have caused constant comment by all 

 who have seen them. The Starburst which you replaced for us has also 

 done beautifully. We are eagerly awaiting your 1971 Catalog." 



Mrs. W. L. P., Georgia 



"I am writing to thank you for your prompt service. Last year I ordered 

 some merchandise which you advised were out of stock and would send 

 them this year. They have just recently been received — all in good 

 condition and I am very pleased. It is a pleasure to be doing business 

 with you." L. B., New York
