EVERBLOOMING 

 68 STANDARD VARIETIES 



The Roses offered on this and the following 9 pages 

 are varieties that have given maximum satisfaction, 

 year after year, as to qualities you need to make a 

 good Rose, such as beauty of form, vigor, hardiness and 

 abundance of bloom over a long period. The colors 

 represent a wide range from snow-white to darkest red, 

 light and deep pinks and yellows and glorious multi- 

 colors. 



We get many compliments and, of course, some 

 kicks from our customers, all of which guide us to know 

 what to grow, especially when added to our own 45 

 years' experience in this fascinating business. 



You can confidently depend on the first thrilling show 



on these hardy Everblooming Roses within 10 weeks 



after you plant them in the spring. 



We realize the difficulty amateurs often have in selecting, 



so throughout the following pages we recommend a number 



of collections at reduced prices, the most famous of which, 



and justly so, is the STAR DOZEN, offered on page 16. 



Many are the ways in which pleasure money can be spent 

 but for year-after-year dividends nothing can surpass an 

 investment in Everblooming Star Roses.
