MORE BEAUTIFUL 





GARDEN STATE New for '65 



GR. (Alain Mcilland) Plant Pat. 2349. This is a brand-new, wonderful 

 introduction by Star Roses for 1%5. You have never seen it before, and 

 this Catalog brings you the very first opportunity to enjoy new excitement 

 in your yard. The photo on the riglit fails to do the rose justice, but even 

 so, have you ever seen a more coiortul deep pink or very light red bud wliich 

 opens to a most appealing ricii pink flower? Very strong, thick canes carry 

 the blooms sometimes one to the long stem but usually in candelabras of 

 several. With (lowers 434 to 5 inches across, the petals are cupped and then 

 outflowing as they open from nicely formed buds to shapely open flowers. 

 As many as 50 petals of a heavy texture give substance to the fully double 

 flower, in keeping with that of the bush with its thick, leathery, glossy 

 foliage. The color, shape and strong stems make this rose ideal for you to 

 cut, arrange and exhibit. And you can make 

 good use of its tall, impressive stature by plac- 

 ing the plant in a back row, because it will never 

 be lost. It was especially chosen to be named 

 "Garden State" to honor the 300th Anniver- 

 sary of the founding of the state of New Jersey. 

 $3 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



"For some tweiUy years I have enjoyed 

 Star Roses. On a few occasions I have 

 planted other advertised plants. But the 

 fine quality of the stock, and the perfect 

 condition in which your plants are al- 

 ways received proves to me that Star 

 Quality is better quality all the way 

 through." E.A.S., Conn.

New for '65 



H.T. (Alain Meilland) Plant Pat. 2358. This is 

 another of our brand-new introductions for 1965. 

 And what a beauty this one is! You will find Al- 

 legro a rose with a unique color — a gay orange-red 

 with subdued traces of pink which become more pronounced 

 as the bloom matures. This superior rose won Gold Medals 

 at Rose Shows at The Hague and in Rome. The buds are 

 full and round. The large flowers, with high centers, meas- 

 ure as much as 5 full inches across and are composed of 

 35 large petals. The blooms come continuously and in 

 abundance on a tall, 5-foot plant but they do not last as 

 long as some other roses. You will like the good leathery, 

 sturdy, medium green leaves and light tea rose fragrance. 

 A gay and joyous rose. $2.75 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.40 ea.
