TO START YOUR DREAMl 



Plant a Rose and Watch It Grow 



To have some of the big beautiful roses you dream about, 

 v'ou need not make a lavish, expensive outlay. Start in a 

 small way and then increase your planting a little at a time. 

 As a special help to beginning rose grovv^ers, we present the 

 'five roses on these two pages as the foundation of a planting. 

 Everyone knows and covets the Peace rose, and certainly it is a 

 logical choice for a novice. Chrysler Imperial and Mirandy are fabulous for 

 fragrance, and Charlotte Armstrong and Eclipse arc classics in their color. 



So treat yourself to OfTer 175 if you are starting a rose planting. You 

 can't make a better investment. 



Hybrid Tea. (Nicolas.) Streamlined buds are the hallmark of 

 Y' this popular yellow rose. The perfect buds are long and tapering, 



golden yellow in color, opening to clear chrome-yellow. Flowers of medium 

 size, with about 25 petals, carried on long stems. Fragrance is quite strong and 

 pleasant. A tall plant, blooming well all season. Flowers are most attractive 

 in the bud form, so cut them at that stage if you want to enjoy a close-up. 

 $2.90 ea.— 3 or more, $2.70 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) One of the most fra- 



^^ grant of all roses and a prime favorite for that 



reason. The glowing crimson-red color is the ideal of those who love rich 



^ velvety tones. Marvelous in the garden and as a cut flower. Big solid buds 



and large, high-centered flowers with 50 huge petals. The crimson is shaded 



even deeper. A sturdy grower of medium height, and a free and continuous 



bloomer. Chrysler Imperial should be in every garden. 



$2.90 ea.— 3 or more, $2.70 ea. 



CHRYSLER IMPERIAL 



"Thank you very much for the beautiful new rose which 

 I received yesterday in response to my inquiry regarding 

 a guarantee on one which did not live. This lovely plant 

 was received in perfect condition and planted imme- 

 diately. I have a number of Star Roses of which I am 

 very proud and have had excellent luck with them. 

 Incidentally, a couple of years ago I was in your area 

 and had the pleasure of seeing your beautiful roses in 

 bloom in your own setting." 



Mrs. B. W. G., Virginia 



ECLIPSE 



(^^ Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) Strik- 

 '^^^ ingly beautiful buds of intense 

 carmine-red, with an underglow of 

 flame. Long and elegant, they open to 

 4 to 5-inch flowers of bright rose-red, 

 high pointed and waxy petaled. Stems 

 are medium to long. The plant is tall — 

 up to 5 feet — with disease-resistant 

 foliage. An abundant producer until 

 frost. 



Sometimes called the "First Lady" 

 of Hybrid Teas because it has so many 

 good points and also because it has 

 "mothered" so many wonderful off- 

 spring. You can plant it with the 

 assurance of having a fine plant that 

 will grace your yard for years.
