AQUARIUS. Grandiflora. (Armstrong.) Plant Pat. App. For. 

 Very pretty, well-formed buds of deep pink, almost every 

 one perfect, and best of all, freely produced. Open flowers 

 are lighter pink than the buds but pleasingly brushed with deep 

 pink at the petal edges, to give a picotee effect. Blooms of medium 

 size, mildly perfumed, one to a stem or in clusters. Tall, vigorous. 

 $4.50 ea. — 3 or more, $4.15 ea. 



CONDESA DE SASTAGO. Hybrid Tea. (Dot.) A distinct bi- 

 color, yellow on the outside and rose-scarlet within. 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, sturdy and free blooming. When we introduced this rose 

 (over 40 years ago) it aroused great enthusiasm. 

 $2.90 ea.— 3 or more, S2.70 ea. 



CRIMSON GLORY. Hybrid Tea. (Kordes.) Another of the 

 older roses, still the favorite of many gardeners. Lovely velvety 

 crimson, pointed buds and double blooms — not very large by 

 today's standards, but its rich Damask fragrance has made this 

 rose a byword. Crimson Glory blooms freely on a very strong but 

 low-growing plant. Its only fault is that the stems tend to droop 

 a little. Its perfume and velvety color are outstanding. 

 $2.90 ea.— 3 or more, $2.70 ea. 



FRAGRANT CLOUD. Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 2574. 

 Named for its heavy, true rose perfume. Excellent to cut and 

 bring into the house. A bright coral-red that deepens to orange- 

 red as the flower opens. In the fall these orange tones are em- 

 phasized. Buds are rich dark red, becoming high-pointed, double 

 blooms of perfect form, about 5 inches wide. Quite tall and very 

 strong, with glossy dark leaves. Can stand moderate shade. 

 $4 ea. — 3 or more, $3.65 ea. 



MONTEZUMA. Grandiflora. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 1383. Brilliant 

 rosy salmon with a creamy sheen, extremely smooth and melting. 

 Buds are rather short, but shapely. Blooms are high centered, 

 made up of 40 petals, on strong stems. Foliage is light green. A 

 tall plant, growing up to 5 feet; it is bushy and well branched and 

 needs ample growing space. Very strong, free growth and bloom. 

 $3.50 ea. — 3 or more, $3.20 ea. 



OKLAHOMA. Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2326. 

 Smoky maroon . . . just about as close to "black" as you can 

 come. The buds in particular are very dusky, and the dark red 

 flowers have deeper shades in their depths. They are pointed at 

 first, with 45 to 55 big velvety petals. Blooms measure about 5 

 inches across and have a delightful heady fragrance. Perfect 

 form, excellent texture and fine keeping ability. Medium tall. 

 $3.50 ea. — 3 or more, $3.20 ea. 



PICTURE. Hybrid Tea. (McGredy.) Velvety clear rose-pink. 

 Flowers are of rather modest size but nicely formed, and they 

 carry a light perfume. Medium height, vigorous, with strong 

 canes and glossy, dark green leaves. A dependable bloomer that 

 has remained popular as a garden rose for years. 

 $2.90 ea.— 3 or more, $2.70 ea. 



POLYNESIAN SUNSET. Hybrid Tea (now reclassified as a 

 Grandiflora). (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 2530. An exotic-looking rose 

 for those who want large flower size and brilliant color above all 

 else. It's coral-orange with a warm, iridescent glow. Exquisite 

 buds and huge 63^-inch flowers, fully double but with an open 

 center. Tips of the petals are gracefully waved. Fruity fragrance. 

 Hardy and vigorous, with long-lasting blooms. 

 $3.75 ea. — 3 or more, $3.40 ea. 



SOEUR THERESE. Hybrid Tea. (GiUot.) An old-timer that 

 brings pleasant memories (call it Sister Therese, if you prefer). 

 Beautiful buttercup-yellow in color, with fine buds for cutting. 

 Large, double blooms of good shape and substance, with light 

 fragrance. Gives lots of bloom. Very sturdy plant of medium 

 height, hardy and undemanding in any climate. 

 $2.90 ea.— 3 or more, $2.70 ea. 



SUMMER SUNSHINE. Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 2078. 

 A sunburst of dazzling gold. Flowers of medium size, with about 

 25 satiny smooth petals. High centered at first, they gradually 

 become cup shaped. Both the form and the intense yellow color 

 hold up well. The vigorous, semi-upright plant grows moderately 

 tall, well branched and attractive, with grey-green leaves and 

 reddish thorns. A regular bloomer until frost. 

 $3.75 ea. — 3 or more, $3.40 ea. 



TALISMAN. Hybrid Tea. (Howard.) There are now many 

 better roses than this but if, for auld lang syne, you must have 

 Talisman — here it is. 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. Fairly tall, with 

 long stems and light green, leathery leaves. 

 $2.90 ea.— 3 or more, $2.70 ea. 



WHITE KNIGHT. Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) 

 /^fei Plant Pat. 1359. A clean pure white rose with curled petals 

 '^^ producing a star effect. Blooms are of exhibition calibre 

 and of good lasting quality. The beautifully shaped buds open 

 to firm, satiny white blooms of medium size. Excellent for cutting, 

 though not very freely produced. Grows upright to about 3 feet. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



Star Roses Are 

 Star Quality 



Roses have been our 

 specialty ever since 1906. 

 Because we are so "finicky" in pro- 

 ducing them, we can say with con- 

 fidence that Star Roses are the best you can 

 buy. We grow our roses here in the fertile 

 fields of southeastern Pennsylvania where we 

 can have complete control over every step 

 in the production line — from soil preparation 

 to packing and shipping. All these opera- 

 tions add up to a quality product . . .
