STAR ROSE GROWERS . . . West Grove, Pa. 



*Autumn. 90 cts. each 



*Autumn, H.T. (Multicolored) 



A rainbow of autumn's glorious colors is what this 

 splendid Rose produces during the growing sea- 

 son. The straight buds of deep burnt-orange open to 

 3-inch flowers of the same burnt-orange stained and 

 splashed with red, orange, and various shades of 

 pink. It never loses that "richness," even when the 

 petals are ready to fall. It has 25 to 30 petals and is 

 deliciously fragrant. Although not a tall grower, the 

 plants are upright, with large, leathery, very dark 

 green foliage. Deservedly popular. 90 cts. each, 



*ABOL. H.T. White. Good white Roses are 

 scarce; a half-opened bloom of Abol, with its trace of 

 pink in the center, is therefore something to remem- 

 ber, especially as it is one of the most deliciously 

 fragrant of all Roses. When in full bloom the flowers 

 are pure white without a trace of pink. One of the 

 most beautiful whites. 75 cts. each, 



•ALICE STERN. H.T. Creamy white. Long- 

 pointed buds and finely formed flowers of creamy 

 white with a shght salmon tint on the center petals. 

 It has about 50 petals and is sweetly fragrant. 

 Strong plants with heavy bronzy foliage. $1 each. 



• AMI QUINARD.^ H.T. See illustration.^ Black- 

 lustered red. Blackish buds open to semi-double 

 flowers of velvety crimson-maroon with a soft black 

 luster; instead of fading, the petals get darker as the 

 bloom ages. It has splendid old-rose fragrance. 

 Strong, upright plant, almost matching the Radi- 

 ances for vigor. This Rose is improving, for it has 

 several more petals than when first introduced and 

 we now consider it one of our best. First Class 

 Certificate, Bagatelle, 1930; Certificate of Alerit, 

 Barcelona, 1930. $1 each. 



•AMULETT. H.T. Velvety crimson. A medium- 

 sized red Rose that likes to jump around the color- 

 chart. Early flowers are deep red, then during the 

 hot weather they may be almost light red, but in the 

 fall they come into their own, with fully double 

 blooms of deep velvety crimson, almost maroon. At 

 all times there is present that glorious old-time Rose 

 fragrance. A choice Rose for cutting. Awarded 

 First Prize at the German Rose Society show, 1931, 

 and received the First Class Premium, the highest dis- 

 tinction, at Sangerhausen, Germany, 1931. $1 each.

"NO MORE CHEAP ROSES" 



October 8, IQ33 

 .... Mrs. M. and I have decided that from now on — no more 

 cheap Roses. Cheap ones require just as much work, particu- 

 larly in preparation for winter, as do yours. We had such 

 wonderful luck with yours, even this first year, that it is foolish 

 to put in so much work if we cannot enjoy the best. . . . — C. H. M., 

 St. Louis, Mo.
