NEW PLANTS from Star Roses for 1957 

This year, it is our pleasure to introduce for your pleas- 
ure a number of new plant varieties all of which, we be- 
lieve, are outstanding representatives of their individual 
kinds. Among them are four new Star Roses, three 
new Chrysanthemums and two new Shasta Daisies. 
NEW STAR ROSES 
* LADY ELGIN .. . a gorgeous new Hybrid Tea with 
so much to recommend it that it is difficult to single out a 
Seay virtue without slighting others. However, its 
utiful and striking orange-gold color is what meets the 
eye first, and on this quality, our case will rest. See the 
cover and page 2 of this catalog. Isn’t this a grand and 
glorious addition to our line-up of splendid Star Roses? 
We think so, and we are sure that Rose lovers everywhere 
will agree with us. 
* SUMATRA ... here’s a new Floribunda with an 
electric-spark kind of personality which cannot be denied. 
Its coloring is unique—a jungle-bright, flashing signal-red 
that’s unusual and different. Expert Rose testers through- 
out the country who reported to us on their studied opin- 
ions of Sumatra were in practical agreement on this one 
. . . GREAT! Sumatra is a spellbinder! See page 20. 
You will get just an inkling of its true beauty. 
*RED EMPRESS ... a new Everblooming Climber 
that will give you continuous blooms this very summer! 
No need to wait until next year for this one, although to 
wait for such lovely, big, red Hybrid Tea-like flowers 
would be well worth while. Look at the picture for a 
moment on page 26. Can you imagine as wonderful a 
display as this around your doorway, or on a trellis at the 
entrance to your garden, or on the back fence? Magnificent! 
* ROBIN .. . the living proof that “good things come 
in little packages,” for here is a new Miniature Rose that’s 
good in every way. Its color is unlike any other Miniature 
—a rich, deep red lighted here and there by lighter shades. 
See page 31 for Robin’s portrait—the first time in any 
catalog. 
Illustrations and detailed descriptions -of these new- 
comers to America’s gardens will be found elsewhere in 
this catalog, but here we will brief you on a few of their 
chief characteristics and special features for we know that 
you will want some of them for your garden. 
NEW STAR PERENNIALS 
MOONLIGHT (Shasta Daisy) ... as lovely as its 
name, this new all-double white has a golden heart which 
creates a truly magnificent effect. See page 33 for full 
description and illustration. 
SNOW QUEEN (Shasta Daisy) . . . another beautiful 
white, this one distinguished by quill-like petals which 
grow in helter-skelter fashion and lend the illusion of 
fluffiness. Very fetching! See page 33 for description. 
HAWAII (Big-Flowered Chrysanthemum) .. . see 
page 39 for one of the smartest colors in any garden, a 
brightly glowing bronze which, in real life, is even more 
remarkable than shown here. The flowers are much 
bigger than the picture. 
GOLDEN WEDDING (Big-Flowered Chrysanthe- 
mum)... if it’s gold you want, you have it in plenty 
with this one. The picture on page 38 pretty well tells you 
how luscious this fine new Mum is. Take a look! 
SUN DANCE (Pompon Chrysanthemum) .. . new, 
neat and nifty, with that delicious kind of lemon-yellow 
coloring. The flower at lower middle of picture (see page 
37) is life size, and you get ’em by the hundred on each 
sturdy plant. 
MORDEN’S GLEAM (Lythrum).. . on page 34 you'll 
see this splendid new Lythrum in all its glory. This one 
will add a nice note of color to any perennial garden. You 
will surely appreciate the lovely deep tones which dis- 
tinguish Morden’s Gleam. 
It will be a fine addition to your garden.
