AYith pomp and circuiiistance, plus some fanfare 

 and a few flourishes, our new All-America winner, 

 Christian Dior, was officially introduced in May 

 to the gardening press at functions held simul- 

 taneously on both the East and West Coasts. This 

 is the fourth Star Rose since 1958 to win rose- 

 dom's highest honor . . . White Knight, Sarabande, 

 Fire Ring, and Christian Dior. We're beginning 

 to feel a touch of justifiable pride.

Our new office building (see picture) is such a 

 nice place in which to work that it seems to make 

 the day shorter.

At the Flower Shows in Philadelphia and Wash- 

 ington, D. C, this year, we garnered our customary 

 crop of silverware, which proves that you can't 

 keep good men down — good roses, either! It seems

Our thanks go to all those friends of Star Roses 

 who took the time and trouble during the past 

 year to drop us a line telling us of their pleasure 

 with our roses. These letters are too numerous to 

 answer individually, and this space is too short in 

 which to acknowledge them fully. But, it's the 

 best we can do. We'd like you to know that we 

 appreciate your interest, and enjoy hearing from 



you.

The annual office party was a highly organized 

 affair which included a bus trip to the bright lights 

 of Broadway, a tour of the fabled New York Times, 

 a quick look at Greenwich ^'illage, and sundry 

 other items. But just as things were getting in- 

 teresting, somebody in the Big City blew a fuse 

 which plunged the metropolis and the sight-seeing 

 schedule into total darkness. Since the final event 

 on the program was to have been a grand dinner 

 at a famed restaurant downtown, the failure of 

 the city's electrical system put an end to that . . . 



Item For The Office Bulletin Board 



"Everything at the office ran so well while you 

 officers and department heads were away at the 

 Nurserymen's convention that we stay-at-homes 

 have decided to dispense with your services in the 

 interests of greater efficiency."
