Shakespeare said a great many things 

 about a great many subjects, including 

 roses, and always with insight and 

 wisdom. Unfortunately, however, he 

 lived before the time of Star Roses, and 

 the world, therefore, lost such pearls as 

 he might have given us on this subject. 

 Our feeling is that this loss to modem 

 literature is recouped to a high degree by 

 the heartfelt expressions of people all 

 over the country who have taken up their 

 pens to tell us what they think of Star 

 Roses. Here, too, is insight and wisdom! 



Since Shakespeare knew what makes 

 people tick, he would readily have under- 

 stood the modem psychology of un- 

 solicited testimonials. How often in your 

 own experience, for instance, have you 

 actually bestirred yourself to send off a 

 letter of praise for a product you like? 

 Were you not far more inclined to register 

 a complaint when you had one? Thus, it 

 follows that when a testimonial is written, 

 its number can be multiplied substantially 

 to account for all those good people who 

 feel the same but who (because they are 

 human ) do not take the trouble to express 

 themselves. 



We would be inhuman here at Star Roses 

 if we did not feel a thrill of pride and 

 pleasure upon receiving notes of praise 

 for our roses or our service. Frankly, 

 we enjoy getting them. It solidifies our 

 principles. It makes us happy. It helps 

 to offset the occasional errors we make. 



WE THANK you ALL! 



D\D NOT SAY IT ALU 



"Now I must brag — either about my rose (Pink 

 Peace) or your Company. It is our pride and joy. 

 Your catalog doesn't do it justice!" 



Mrs. G. H., West Virginia 



"I am not a person who usually writes fan letters, 

 but I just had to drop you a line. I am so pleased, 

 and surely intend to stick with Star Roses from 

 now on." 



Mrs. H. K., New Jersey 



''Your roses are the largest and healthiest I have ever 

 seen. My next addition to my rose garden will be 

 planned around Star Roses. Be sure to keep me on 

 your mailing list." 



Mr. G. V. H., Ohio 



"I have purchased many brands of roses, but I must 

 say that Star Roses are the finest I have ever re- 

 ceived. I was particularly impressed with the fresh 

 condition in which they arrived, and with the prolific, 

 healthy root systems." 



Dr. E. O. S., Maryland 



"I ordered 17 rose bushes. I am pleased to say that 

 they arrived in fine condition, and are, I think, the 

 finest bushes I have ever received from you, which is 

 saying a lot as all the bushes I have ordered from you 

 in the last 20 years have been A-1." 



J. U. M., Kansas 



Comment from a rose club member after seeing 

 color slides of our rose-growing operations: "I'll 

 never hesitate to pay two or three dollars for a Star 

 rose bush after seeing the growing of Star Roses." 



"Your rose descriptions are never exaggerated . . ,
