Why Choose Star Roses 



BECAUSE STAR ROSES ha\c back of thcni more ihaii a generation of I-(ose-growing 

 experience and more than twenty years of devoted eflort to make this Star brand cover 

 the l)est plants possible to jjroduce, grown to honest maturity in the most favorable cli- 

 matic location in Anuaiea — That is why "Those ^\h() know" choose Star Roses. 



There is much more in a Rose plant than meets the eye. Its green bark may conceal a 

 poor nondescript, but Star Roses are guaranteed true to name. Carefully guarded 

 all summer long against depleting disease attacks which do not show when the foliage is 

 off, they are as carefully dug and stored, as carefully packed and shipped to you. The 

 Star Rose list is kept revised to include only the most desirable kinds that will grow into 

 healthy plants. They have invisibly packed in them the real Rose-goodness you need. 



To remove every shadow ol doubt from the mind of the {purchaser, we have long stood 

 behind the guarantee that every Star Rose will bloom at the first blooming period after 

 planting, or your money will be refunded. But please note that it is not the guarantee that 

 makes the Roses bloom truly and beautifully, but the excellent and consistent quality of 

 Star Rose plants. They are grown to serve you satisfactorily. 



T 



HE STAR * TRADE-MARK ^/^ protect you from the cheap "hit or miss" plants, 



orten claimed to be just as good, every btar Kose 



plant carries a durable celluloid Star Tag which should not be removed. 

 On its face is the true name of the Rose you have ordered, correctly spelled. On the reverse is 

 our guarantee to you. The Star label is the hall-mark of Rose quahty. (See illustration.) 



When to Order 



Successful Rose veterans always 

 order early to get the pick of the 

 plants, which are then reserved 

 for them until planting time or 

 when wanted. Early planted 

 Roses grow better and bloom bet- 

 ter. Early ordering and early 

 planting save money, too, for 

 after mid-April instead of dor- 

 mant plants you get potted 

 plants, costing more for trans- 

 portation. Early orders bring 

 dormant plants, guaranteed to 

 bloom, postage prepaid. Ask us 

 early for suggestions of Roses for 

 special purposes and places. A 

 bed, a border, a bank-cover? 

 How much space have you? 



How to Grow 



Rose-growing is not difficult. 

 It is a real recreation for many 

 people. We always send cultural 

 directions, and we cheerfully an- 

 swer inquiries not covered in 

 these carefully prepared direc- 

 tions. We must have you suc- 

 ceed with these good Star Roses! 

 But you may want to know 

 more about Rose-growing, and 

 therefore we call your attention 

 to our richly illustrated 200-page 

 book, written by three eminent 

 rosarians, entitled "How to Grow 

 Roses" (see details on page 22), 

 and to the new companion book 

 just published, "Climbing Roses," 

 also announced on page 22.
