PLANT NOW FOR ALMOST CONTINUOUS BLOOM UNTIL HARD FROST 



Every Rose in this now-famous "Star * Dozen" is the star representative in its 

 color class. It has taken many years to make this dozen, not merely to grow the 

 plants, but to know the kinds to grow that would be worthy of a place in this 

 famous collection. 



Some Roses will thrive only in certain localities, but the practical experience of 

 thousands of Rose-lovers throughout this broad country has proved that the 

 **Star Dozen" will produce the maximum of bloom wherever planted. 



Red, pink, yellow, tinted, and white — all the colors in Roses are here repre- 

 sented. Beautiful, thoroughly dependable, bountiful blooming kinds that under 

 normal conditions should provide at least twenty dozen blooms the first year. The 

 "Star Dozen" is a splendid investment in wholesome pleasure. 



*RADIANCE. H.T. Continues to be the most universally popular Rose in 

 America. So decrees the Referendum of the American Rose Society year after 

 year. Its steady growth, good habit, persistence of foliage, "fioribundity," per- 

 fume, and hardiness make everyone wish we had more Radiances. A happy-go- 

 lucky trouper, it is at home anywhere and stands more abuse without protest than 

 almost any other Rose, with the exception of its "buddy," Red Radiance. The 

 fragrant flowers are large, globular but not compact, brilliant rose-pink, with 

 lighter tints on the inner surface of the petals. The buds come in quick succession 

 with long stems for cutting. See opposite page. $1 each. 



*RED RADIANCE. H.T. This is a sport of and close companion of Radiance. 

 It has the same form, habit of growth, fragrance, and healthy foliage. The only 

 difference is in the color of the flower, which is brilliant cerise-red, especially attrac- 

 tive when several are together in a vase. $1 each.
