WE USE THESE PRODUCTS OURSELVES 

 TO INSURE STAR QUALITY ROSES . . . 



. . . we recommend them highly to you! 



STAR ROSE FERTILIZER 



This is a high quality balanced plant food ... a fer- 

 tilizer developed out of long experience in knowing what 

 roses thrive on. Contains organic and inorganic material, 

 available nitrogen, phosphorus and potash in 7-7-7 

 analysis, as well as the important minor minerals. We 

 believe this fertilizer is best for roses, mums and other 

 garden flowers, lawns, vegetable gardens or wherever 

 you need to give plants a balanced diet. Use it when 

 planting your roses and regularly as they grow. Star 

 Rose Fertilizer is a favorite with both experts and 

 amateurs. 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $2.95; 25 lbs. $5.95, ppd. 



STAR ROSE SPRAY 



This do-it-all spray contains the same powerful ingre- 

 dients as Star Rose Dust. One pound makes 10 gallons 

 of spray, and gives you the most complete plant pro- 

 tection possible in a single formulation. Fully proved by 

 regular use in our own fields. Star Rose Spray is eco- 

 nomical and easy to use. Many gardeners use both Dust 

 and Spray. See "Which is Better — Dust or Spray?" 

 for the reasons. A pound of Star Rose Spray goes a very 

 long way. Lb. $3.65; 4 lbs. $11.95, ppd. 



PROFESSIONAL 

 PRUNER 



Just like the pruners 

 we use in the rose 

 fields, these specially 

 designed German 

 shears do an easy, 

 efficient job of cut- 

 ting. $4.50, ppd. 



WHICH IS BETTER- 

 DUST OR SPRAY? 



Both give effective protection. Dusting is 

 quicker because you can keep your duster filled, 

 ready for use after a rain or at the first hint of 

 trouble. Spraying, on the other hand, gives 

 wider coverage, therefore better control. For 

 these reasons many expert gardeners use both 

 Star Rose Dust and Star Rose Spray for worry- 

 free rose gardening. Whether you choose dust- 

 ing or spraying or a combination of both prac- 

 tices you can put your trust in these products: 

 — we do. When applying dusts or sprays re- 

 member that light, widespread coverage is 

 more effective than a deluge.

 neglected plants. Star Rose Grow is also the right food for minia- 

 ture roses and your house plants. Essential minerals have been
