STAR ROSE FERTILIZER 



This is a high quality balanced plant food ... a fer- 

 tilizer developed out of long experience in knowing what 

 roses thrive on. Contains organic and inorganic material, 

 available nitrogen, phosphorus and potash in 7-7-7 

 analysis, as well as the important minor minerals. We 

 believe this fertilizer is best for roses, mums and other 

 garden flowers, lawns, vegetable gardens or wherever 

 you need to give plants a balanced diet. Use it when 

 planting your roses and regularly as they grow. Star 

 Rose Fertilizer is a favorite with both experts and 

 amateurs. 5 lbs. SI. 75; 10 lbs. S2.95; 25 lbs. S5.95, ppd. 



STAR ROSE SPRAY 



This do-it-all spray contains the same powerful ingre- 

 dients as Star Rose Dust. One pound mates 10 gallons 

 of spray, and gives you the most complete plant pro- 

 tection possible in a single formulation. Fully proved by 

 regular use in our own fields, Star Rose Spray is eco- 

 nomical and easy to use. Many gardeners use both Dust 

 and Spray. See "Which is Better — Dust or Spray?" 

 for the reasons. A pound of Star Rose Spray goes a very 

 long way. Lb. $3.65; 4 lbs. $11.95, ppd. 



"Handbook on Roses" 



from the World-Famous 

 Brooklyn Botanic Gardens 



Here is one of the most informative and 

 useful books on roses and rose growing 

 ever published. It was edited by S. B. 

 Hutton, of The Conard-Pyle Company, 

 who has drawn on his more than 35 years 

 of experience with roses. In doing so, Mr. 

 Hutton has been assisted by an editorial' 

 board of over 30 distinguished rose experts. 

 Never before have so many knowledgeable 

 rosarians combined their "know-how" and 

 experience in so interesting a way to make 

 the growing and enjoyment of roses so easy 

 to everyone. SI. 25 each, postpaid.

effective in our rose growing fields is available to you in

Sevin® along with Phaltan®, Kelthane, and Lindane, Star Rose 



Dust provides the complete protection your roses deserve. For

STAR ROSE GROW {Not illustrated) 

 Sometimes called Speed Feed. Star Rose Grow is ideal as a starter 

 solution in transplanting and for leaf feeding of roses and other 

 plants . . . especially effective in perking up old, starved, or 

 neglected plants. Star Rose Grow is also the right food for minia- 

 ture roses and your house plants. Essential minerals have been 

 added to a basic formula of 15% nitrogen, 30% available phos- 

 phoric acid and 15% potash to give you a quickly effective 

 "pep-up" for your plants. 2 to 4 teaspoons of Star Rose Grow 

 makes a gallon of solution. Lb. SI. 25, ppd.
