As we come marcbirifi, marching, iri the heaul\- of the day, 

 A millioti darkened kitchens, a thousand mill-lojts gray- 

 Are touched ivith all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses, 

 For the people hear us singing: Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses.

Most Americans, these clays, have more hours at 

 home. The resourcefulness of the garden with its 

 endless possibihties is being gradually revealed to 

 thousands of folks who foniu 1 1\ knew it not. Those 

 who hunger for recreation, for variety, beauty, for 

 the refreshment that comes with every new face in 

 nature, are learning to know the satisfactions to be 

 found in gardens. 



Eighty-two years ago our predecessors started in 

 the nursery business here at West Grove. For thirty- 

 five years we of the present generation have been 

 producing and supplying the best Roses for America. 

 And the Roses now growing for this fall's delivery 

 are as fine 2-year plants as we have seen. 



Tliis Catalog brings you the story. Aside from the 

 new low prices, the most conspicuous thing about it 



is the starthng array of meritorious Rose Novelties 

 many of whicli are not obtainable elsewhere because 

 we have the American rights from the foreign 



origmators. 



The importance of Novelties in Rose-growing is 

 recognized by garden-lovers as never before. The 

 interest in Rose and flower shows is rapidly increas- 

 ing, and is almost the only thing that has not been 

 affected by stock-market plunges. At these flov/er 

 shows there is nothing else that attracts quite so 

 much attention or wins quite so many prizes as do 

 the Novelties. 



Therefore, we are particularly fortunate in the 

 remarkable number and the unusual high quality of 

 new things that you will find offered — Novelties 

 that prize-winners will be eager to grow. 



Garden Clubs Please Notice 



Some Garden Clubs year after year continue to order 

 Star Roses in one big Club order, which is individually 

 delivered to each member at a great saving in cost. 

 Two of our staff are available to lecture before Garden 

 Clubs and Horticultural Societies, with illustrated lan- 

 tern slides. (Please ask for information.) 



Furthermore, we are prepared to give expert advice 

 in the planting of municipal and public or large private 

 Rose-gardens. We have many satisfied clients of this 

 character. We invite visitors and inspection of our 

 display Rose-garden, of our species Rose-gardens and 

 test Rose-gardens, and our acres upon acres of blooming 

 Roses which will be a sight to behold any time until 



frost. Come and see the Roses ready to be sent to 

 you at the proper time for planting this fall. Come 

 and enjoy the use of "The Red Rose Inn" 

 adjoining our Rose-fields, 

 where may be had, at the 

 hands of Mrs. Louise Bing- 

 ham Hark, Proprietor, the 

 delights and comforts that 

 tourists relish. 



You are invited to West 

 Grove, and to the home of 

 Star Roses. 



Experience the Economy oF Quality! 



For the best plants produce the largest and most blooms — hence the harvest from Star Roses 



costs least after all 



Economy has been made possible because prices have 

 been reduced. The Novelties that last year were offered 

 at $2 and $3 each are now to be had for about half the 

 price. The general reduction has been from 25 to 50 

 per cent; not only the cost but also the profit has 

 been cut to make Star Roses undoubtedly a good 

 investment against any competition whatever. In 

 buying Roses, as in buying diamonds, it is wise to 

 ^beware of utter cheapness. It is so easy to be misled by 

 appearances; so many things can happen to devitalize 

 a Rose before it reaches you, that your greatest safety I 



lies in choosing first of all a reliable firm from whom to 

 obtain your Roses, a firm of known standing and 

 reputation. We have been before the American people 

 for two generations. We have not only trade-marked 

 but we have guaranteed our goods and offered always, 

 and still do, to replace those not satisfactory. In the 

 experience of a lifetime we have learned to avoid many 

 things in growing Roses and to do many things to 

 insure such results as enables us to guarantee our plants. 



We Recommend Fall Planting 



*Star Roses Are Guaranteed to Bloom 



And are, we believe, the only trade-marked Roses in America 



We Guarantee every Star Rose to bloom at the first 

 blooming period after purchase, failing which we agree 

 to replace the Rose or refund its cost.
