ft, ■ '.')('/> Hybrid Tea. (Nicolas.) The very long, tapering 

 ■^ buds of Eclipse have become a byword for elegance. 



Generally described as streamlined, they are the essence of slender 

 g e. Long sepals emphasize this delicate form in the very early 

 stages. The color is golden yellow, becoming clear chrome-yellow 

 as the flower opens. Blooms are of medium size, with about 25 

 •jetals, carried on long stems. Fragrance is quite strong and 

 pleasant. The plant is vigorous and inclined to be tall and open, 

 producing a continuing show of bloom all season. 



A famous old favorite that first bloomed on Eclipse Day, 

 August 31, 1932, and has since become established as a standard 

 yellow. Cut the buds soon after they start to show color so that 

 you can admire them at their best. They do not hold their shape 

 very long after they open. 



$2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



ROSE CLASSICS 



CRIMSON GLORY 



Hybrid Tea. (Kordes.) Ask the 

 average rose grower his one indispens- 

 able crimson rose^and the chances are he will say "Crimson 

 Glory." By today's standards these flowers are not extra 

 large, but their rich Damask fragrance and velvety crimson 

 color have earned it a tremendous reputation. It blooms 

 freely and continuously on a very strong but low-growing 

 plant. Excellent for front-row planting. Its only fault is the 

 stems tend to droop a bit. Foliage is large, clean, dark. Plant- 

 ed for its perfume alone, Crimson Glory is worthwhile. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea. 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) This rose 

 is in a category all its own. Our firm had the great 

 /^fe, privilege and good fortune to introduce it into this 

 ^£ s country in the mid-40's, and since then it has been 

 honored around the world as the perfect rose. 



The unusually large size and lasting ability of the bloom — 

 the softly flushed colors — the pencil-thick flower stems — the 

 crackling, dark leathery leaves — the powerful plant: im- 

 possible to exaggerate when you try to describe Peace ! Each 

 bloom changes from day to day, from yellow to pale gold and 

 ivory, with a pink edge that gradually suffuses the creamy 

 petals. Free blooming . . . hardy . . . wonderful. 

 $2.75 ea.— 3 or more, $2.40 ea.

ECLIPSE 



Roses by Mail Since 1897 



We don't mind admitting our age! Our firm 

 is old and proud of it, because we feel we have 

 some accomplishments to boast of. Our com- 

 pany, for example, was the first in America to 

 send out a mail-order rose catalog, first to ship 

 rose bushes to gardeners by mail, first to guar- 

 antee our roses to bloom. We are rose specialists and 

 mail-order specialists too. When you place your order for 

 Star roses you can be sure of getting top-grade plants, ex- 

 pertly packed, and shipped at the right time for planting in 

 your locality.
