THEY KEEP ON GIVING, YEAR AFTER YEAR 



For Christmas, we will send a Christmas card announcing your 

 gift of Star Rose plants to come, and will also mail a real live little 

 Floribunda Rosebud to arrive in time for Christmas if we have your 

 order by December 10. The Rose will be in a vial of water and 

 should last through the holidays as a token of the many more Rose 

 blooms to come from your gift. 



(NOTE: The Rosebud for Christmas goes only with bona fide 

 Christmas gift orders, and to the recipient, not to you; but we DO hope somebody 

 will be sending you a Star Rose gift, too!,) 



The plants will be shipped next spring at the right time for planting, unless you 

 request otherwise. Early orders can be sent in time for fall planting if you prefer. 

 Please note: Group offer and "3-for" prices apply only when plants are snipped 

 together to one address. 



Early ordering is advisable. (This will help you, too, to avoid the rush of many 

 things to do at the last moment.) 



Please write all gift orders on separate paper from other orders. Send your orders 

 now, and those gifts will all be attended to. 



Be sure to print full names and addresses to which the Roses are to be sent, so 

 your gift can be properly delivered. 



Businessmen are discovering that Roses make a particularly gracious, well- 

 received and clever gift for taking care of large numbers of recipients. 



On the Christmas announcement card we write your name as donor, the names of 

 the Roses and the date when the plants will be forwarded. We attend to the shipping 

 time, 



GIF I CER T IriCATES: If you prefer, you can order $2,50 or $5 gift certificates in any amount to be 

 sent with the Rosebuds and cards announcing your gifts. Then your friends can make their own selections. A 

 copy of our spring catalog is sent to each as soon as it comes from the press, and when they order, there can be 

 no doubt that your gifts will be "Just what they wanted." 



By ordering Star Roses or Star Rose Gift Certificates as Christmas gifts, you avoid Christmas shopping 

 crowds and have the satisfaction of knowing your present will be joyfully received. There is always room for 

 more Roses in a flower-lover's garden.
