THE SUPER-STAR 



Did you ever hear of "reaching for the 

 stars"? Here is where you actually get them. 

 Super Stars, too, in a world of Star Roses. 

 Here are Novelties like Thomas A. 

 Edison, Leonard Barron, and Editor 

 McFarland — straight from the hands 

 of the hybridizers — just out this fall for 

 the first — also Roses like Ami Quinard 

 and Syracuse, the first a new color- 

 note in Roses, and both kinds for which 

 last year people paid $5 each for the 

 few then available. Here they are, 

 priced to fit the purse of the thrifty, 

 and the entire set of Brilliant Novel- 

 ties, ready to bring a hundred thrills in the 

 niftiest garden or to make a sensation and perhaps earn 

 prizes, too, at your local flower show. 



Star Roses have in them the quality that wins

sman h.t. 



Multicolored. See color cut above 

 A mixture of orange, yellow, and rose-red in ir- 

 regular proportions, varying from plant to plant. 

 Exquisite buds on long, straight stems. It is de- 

 servedly popular because of its unusual color which 

 is so changeable as to make description difficult. 

 The flowers are fairly full, fragrant, cup-shaped, 

 with the petals standing upright, the center ones 

 crinkled. Excellent for cutting. $1 each. 



*Ami Quinard. The best very dark bedding Rose 



(From a Star Rose buyer) May 22, IQ31 



My Star Roses are doing fine. My brother, Dr. D., and I 

 carried off several first prizes with tbem at a flower show held 

 here a jew days ago. — Z. V. D., Chester, S. C. 



• DIRECTOR RTJBIO. H.T. Cochineal-pink. 

 See in color on page 10. Of medium height and 

 compact form, it makes an ideal bedder. The 

 bud, borne on erect pedicel, is cerise-scarlet, 

 opening to a very large and fairly double bloom, 

 sweetly scented, of solid cochineal-pink. The 

 petals are uneven in shape, some notched. The 

 span from the first color of the bud to the drop 

 of the petals is unusually long. It is outstandirg 

 both in luminous color and bizarre form, for the 

 center cone is odd and the petals of the fully 

 opened bloom are ruffled like the feathers of a 

 swan. This new type of very vigorous Rose will 

 be a center of interest in any garden. $1.25 each. 



• EDITOR McFARLAND. H.T. (C. Mal- 

 lerin, 1931.) Rose-pink. See color and descrip- 

 tion on page 2. Fine color and a top-notch type 

 of plant. $2.50 each. 



• E. G. HILL. H.T. Crimson-scarlet. One 

 of the largest and most perfect flowers in this 

 color and especially fine for cutting, since the big 

 fragrant blooms come singly on erect stems. It 

 gives an abundance of bloom throughout the 

 season and each bloom is almost flawless. The 

 foliage is large and with us has proved entirely 

 free from mildew and black-spot. We are de- 

 lighted to offer this namesake of the Dean of 

 American Rose Hybridizers. $1.50 each. 



• AMI QUINARD. H.T. Nearest black— a 

 velvety crimson-maroon. See cut. Cert, of 

 Merit, Bagatelle, 1930. "Worth traveling a 

 hundred miles to see that Rose alone" was the 

 enthusiastic comment here of one of America's 

 leading landscape architects who "does" many 

 Rose-gardens. This velvety black beauty has 

 long-pointed buds, flowers open, cup-shaped, 

 semi-double, lasting, and fragrant, borne singly 

 and sometimes in candelabras on long stems. 

 Growth is vigorous and upright. "Ami" is a 

 tireless worker, producing flowers continuously^ 

 and her most enchanting blooms are shown if 

 planted where shaded early from the hot after- 

 noon sun. $2 each.
