Order Star Roses for your flower-loving friends 
and your gift will keep on giving, year after year 
1. At Christmas time, the friends for whom you order 
your Roses will receive from us the attractive Christmas 
card shown above, announcing your gift. It is best to 
send your Christmas orders as early as possible, and this 
will help you, too, to avoid the rush of many things to do 
at the last moment. We will mail the card to arrive at 
the proper time. The plants will be shipped next spring 
at the right time for planting. 
2. On the gift card we write your name as donor, the 
names of the Roses ordered and the date when the plants 
will be forwarded. We attend to the shipping time. Full 
planting and cultural directions go with each order. 
3. Be sure to give full names and addresses to which 
the Roses are to be sent. Please print names and 
addresses plainly to avoid any chance of error in
