EVERBLOOMING STAR * ROSES, continued 



YELLOW SHADES 



•ANGELE PERNET. Per net. Orange. Winner 

 of two Gold Medals. An absolutely distinct color — 

 brownish orange-red toning to chrome in the center, 

 with the reverse of the petals brilliant gold. The 

 flower is cup-shaped, and semi-single, thus adding 

 to its charm, and, like most Roses of this type, it is 

 almost continuous in bloom. $\ each. 



• JOANNA HILL. H.T. Yellow. This perfectly 

 formed Rose makes long, shapely buds of orange- 

 yellow that open to large, double flowers with an 



orange center, paling to cream-color at the 



the petals. One of the finest Roses for

*ABOL. H.T. White. A truly w hite Rose when 

 the blooms are open, but the buds are sometimes 

 flushed with pink. It has an exhilarating fragrance 

 which is rare in white Roses and this makes it 

 attractive. SI each.

• EDEL. H.T. White. The word Edel means 

 "noble," and it certainly applies to this magnificent 

 Rose. The bloom is very large, full, and pure white 

 with a tinge of lemon in the depths between the 

 petals. It is so full that it may "ball" in wet weather, 

 but it makes majestic blooms in hot, dry weather 

 when other Roses may be drooping. $1 each. 



• MISS WILLMOTT. H.T. White. Big buds 

 opening to large, cupped, white flowers, lightly 

 tinted with pink and borne on long stems. Deli- 

 ciously fragrant. A white Rose of exceptional merit. 

 $1 each. 



• WESTFIELD STAR. H.T. An attractive 

 paper-white sport of Ophelia with a lemon sheen. 

 The petals of the open flower recurve, quill fashion, 

 and form a regular star, hence its name. $1 each. 



Better than at English Rose Shows ! 



July 7, 1931 

 You will be interested, I tbink, to bear tbat your Star Roses sent 

 to Mrs. G. M., at Northeast Harbor, are simply magnificent. I 

 have never seen better Roses, 

 even at the English Rose 

 Shows. — B. F., Landscape

Very lasting 

 when cut 



• LADY MARGARET STEWART. Per net. Yel- 

 low. The yellow of this Rose comes between tanger- 

 ine-orange and the Indian yellow of Rev. F. Page- 

 Roberts. (See below.) Pointed buds and full 

 flowers, fragrant and colorful, make this fine as an 

 exhibition Rose. $1 each. 



• MRS. AARON WARD. H.T. Golden fawn. A 

 fine Rose for making a mass effect with several 

 plants. The Indian yellow buds change to golden 

 fawn, semi-open blooms and drop away creamy 

 pink, never once losing the delicate charm of soft 

 color and perfect form. The plant is low-growing 

 and well suited to close planting. A well-estab- 

 lished plant will bloom almost continuously from 

 June until hard frost. $1 each. 



• PAX LABOR. H.T. Pale yellow. An orange- 

 gold bud with a tinge of carmine, which turns to a 

 pale golden yellow, fully double bloom. A splendid, 

 healthy bush, with disease resisting foliage, 

 blooming freely in June and fall. $1 each. 



• REV. F. PAGE-ROBERTS. Pernet. 

 Indian yellow. Color illustration on the 

 right. Long, shapely buds of Indian yel- 

 low, washed with deep carmine, which 

 spreads as the bud unfurls. Its 

 perfect form, long stems, and 

 lasting qualities make it excel- 

 lent for cutting. The foli- 

 age is large and dark olive- 

 green. Its low growth and 

 branching qualities make 

 it a fine bedder. To estab- 

 lish it, cutback to 2 inches 

 or less in the spring. Few 

 other Roses can compete 

 with it for form and color- 

 ing. $1 each. 



• SOUV. DE CLAUDIUS 

 PERNET. Pernet. Sunflower 

 yellow flowers with the recurv- 

 ing outer petals becoming cream 

 with sharp demarcations. A 

 large, full, well -formed bloom 

 that should be cut and taken 

 in to enjoy its beauty and 

 Iastingness. If left on the plant 

 the blooms deteriorate more 

 rapidly and are easily marred 

 by rain, dew, and sun. Dis- 

 budding will give exhibition 

 blooms. $1 each. - .*&r
