STAR ROSES, SPRING 1940 



• FEU PERNET-DUCHER. Page 10. @ H.T. 

 Pat. 103. In June the creamy buds, marked with car- 

 mine, slowly open to spiral flowers of clear yellow, 

 growing lighter toward the edges, with the edges lightly 

 flushed with pink. The autumn flowers are much darker, 

 being a rich golden yellow with occasional flowers 

 having a pink tinge. The outside or first petals are 

 sometimes almost white, which is rather surprising for 

 the flower opens to a radiant, sunshiny, golden yellow. 

 Tall, bushy plants bloom continuously from June until 

 frost, with the heaviest bloom and most beautiful flow- 

 ers in early autumn. Delightfully fragrant. $1 each; 

 3 for $2.56.'f* 



• GLOAMING. (D H.T. Pat. 137. Fawn-orange. 

 A novel-colored Rose that is particularly lovely in the 

 half-opened bud stage when the color is fawn-orange. 

 The open blooms are an unusual shade of pink, overlaid 

 with salmon. They come singly on erect, firm stems 

 and make delightful cut-flowers. $1 each ; 3 for $2.50.'{* 



• GLOWING SUNSET. H.T. Pat. 104. YeIIo^^ aiul 

 pink. The color is a lovely combination of orangt- 

 yellowand rose-pink. Long-pointed buds open to full, 

 double, fragrant flowers. $1 each; 3 for $2.50.i<

 yellow. Here indeed is a Rose that captivates 

 everyone who is interested in lovely, varnished, 

 dark green holly-like foliage as well as magnifi- 

 cent, tea-scented flowers. The lemon-yellow 

 blooms, which are continuously produced, are 



very large, with 50 to 60 petals. Only a plant "■ 



with such vigorous, healthy growth could pro- 

 duce so many perfect flowers in a season. $1 

 each.* (See "Star Dozen," page 16.) 



• GOLDEN MAIN. H.T. Pat. 254. Yellow. 

 Remarkable for its pure, unstained, dandelion- 

 yellow color. The intensity of the yellow is , 

 really unique, making an individual flower that 



so far has not been duplicated by any other 

 Hybrid Tea. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.15.'i* 



• GRENOBLE. ® H.T. Scarlet-crimson. 

 Plant is very vigorous and the blooms come on 

 unusually long stems, making it one of the best 

 garden Roses for cutting. The buds are crimson, 

 but the open flower is brilliant red, almost scar- 

 let, and a bed of Grenoble stands out like a 

 fire. Easily one of the best reds. $1 each.*

Roses for Cuttins 



VALUE $9.55 



$6.95 



These 10 Everblooming Roses are especially 

 good for cutting, for they come on erect, rigid 

 stems, proudly holding their heads high because 

 they can do so. Cut Roses from florists cannot 

 produce the delightful thrill you get from a race 

 to the garden, especially in the morning before 

 the sun gets hot, and cutting blooms of your own 

 growing. Also, it's such a satisfaction to know you 

 have Roses to cut, perhaps when wanted in a hurry 

 as the last decorative touch to an otherwise per- 

 fectly set dinner table for guests you want to honor. 



These Roses are all long-stemmed and notably 

 lasting when cut. They bloom so freely they will 

 average less than 2 cents per flower the first year 

 planted, and then you have them free for years to 

 come.
