EVERBLOOMING STAR ROSES 



If a good friend of ours should say to us, "Please select 

 for me a list of Roses that already have had at least five 

 years of testing by average customers in their own gardens 

 and have continued to prove reliable and in most popular 

 demand," we could not, in response to such request, offer 

 a better list of varieties than the following. Experience 

 has proved that these kinds are relatively tops in respect 

 to vigor, hardiness, beauty of flower form, and abimdance of 

 bloom over a long period. If you prefer to leave selection 

 to us, remember that the "Our Selection" set is likely to in- 

 clude those in best supply among these kinds. See page 17.

 buds are deep maroon, urn shaped, ideal for boutonnieres.
