WE USE THESE PRODUCTS OURSELVES 
TO INSURE STAR QUALITY ROSES... 
.. . we recommend them highly to you! 
STAR ROSE DUST 
The same all-purpose formulation which we find so 
effective in our rose growing fields is available to you 
in Star Rose Dust. Containing the latest and most 
effective accepted ingredients, Star Rose Dust provides 
the complete protection your roses deserve. For 
greatest economy and best coverage apply dust lightly. 
Regular applications will keep your roses at their best. 
Lb. $1.95; 4 lbs. $5.95, ppd. 
STAR ROSE SPRAY 
This do-it-all spray contains the same powerful ingre- 
dients as Star Rose Dust. One pound makes 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?” (in opposite column) for the reasons. A pound 
of Star Rose Spray goes a very long way. Lb. $3.65; 
4 lbs. $11.95, ppd. 
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. We believe this fertilizer is best for 
roses, mums and other garden flowers, lawns, vegetable 
gardens or wherever you need to give plants a bal- 
anced diet. Use it when planting your roses and regu- 
larly as they grow. Star Rose Fertilizer is a favorite 
with both experts and amateurs. 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. 
$2.95; 25 Ibs. $5.95, ppd. 
STAR ROSE GROW (Not illustrated) 
Sometimes called Speed Feed, Star Rose Grow is ideal 
as a starter solution in transplanting and for leaf feed- 
ing of roses and other plants . . . especially effective 
in perking up old, starved, or neglected plants. Good 
for house plants, too, as well as miniature roses. The 
basic formula of 15% nitrogen, 30% available phos- 
phoric acid and 15% potash gives you a quickly 
effective ““pep-up” for your plants. 2 to 4 teaspoons 
of Star Rose Grow makes a gallon of solution. Lb. 
$1.60; 4 lbs. $5.45, ppd. 
WIRE LABEL 
STAKES 
Use these stakes to hold the 
Star tags from all your roses 
and the labels for the other 
plants in your garden. Long 
lasting and inexpensive, wire 
label stakes are handy and 
make identifying your plants 
easy. Labels are not included.

WHICH IS BETTER— 
DUST OR SPRAY? 
Both give effective protection. Dusting is quicker be- 
cause you can keep your duster filled, ready for use 
after a rain or at the first hint of trouble. Spraying, on 
the other hand, gives wider coverage, therefore better 
control. For these reasons many expert gardeners use 
both Star Rose Dust and Star Rose Spray for worry- 
free rose gardening. Whether you choose dusting or 
spraying or a combination of both practices you can 
put your trust in these products—we do. When apply- 
ing dusts or sprays remember that light, widespread 
coverage is more effective than a deluge. Also, during 
hot weather, it is best to spray after sundown to avoid 
spray burn on the young, tender leaves and shoots. 
PROFESSIONAL PRUNER 
Just like the pruners we use in the rose fields, these 
specially designed German shears do an easy, efficient 
job of cutting. $4.95, ppd. 
ROSELIFE

simple steps:
