OUR RESEARCH DEPARTMENT has the nev/ Roses 

 of the world under constant study. Our Test- 

 Garden of nearly a thousand varieties, not yet 

 on the market or only recently introduced, is the 

 most fascinating Rose-sight in this part of the 

 United States. We adopt new kinds for sale 

 only after actual tests or closest personal study 

 where grown. There is no other firm in America, 

 we believe, whose representative has so fre- 

 quently toured Europe for the exclusive purpose 

 of finding and obtaining the best of the newest 

 Roses for Star Rose patrons. We are representa- 

 tives for many of Europe's leading hybridizers. 

 You will find a high percentage of award winners 

 among our introductions of the past ten years. 



• New Rose IVIme. Charles Mallerin, our proud- 

 est introduction this year in the Hybrid Teas, is 

 shown on the front cover. This glorious new color 

 in a Rose captivated the attention and won high 

 favor in the eyes of the multitudes of visitors to our 

 fields last summer. For Europe's leading hybrid- 

 izer, at the apogee of his career, to name this 

 triumph in honor of his wife can mean but one 

 thing his belief in its high destiny. $2 each; 3 

 for $5.-^

Vk- ANGELS MATEU. ® H.T. (P. Dot.) Pat. 174. 

 Orange-rose. This delightfully different Rose from 

 Spain is an easy winner when in competition with 

 others in its color class. The beautiful, full-petaled 

 blooms of orange-rose come singly and erect on firm

 varieties" in his garden. Gold Medal, Bagatelle.

 flaming, glowing color that is outstanding in any 

 garden. Best when planted in partial shade. $1 each.*

 Pat. 105. Deep crimson. When this Rose first greeted 

 the delighted eyes of the originator, Wilhelm Kordes,

 for it has a glorious, velvety crimson color. It is perfect 

 in form and produces magnificent blooms of such de- 

 licious fragrance that this alone would urge you to 

 own it. One customer says he is "glad for a chance to 

 rave, as it is absolutely tops in red Roses." Tivo Gold
