DECORATION- STAR CLIMBERS 



Star Everbloorning Climbers give you the showiest sight imaginable at re- 

 markably low cost. For about 25c a foot, you can cover a fence or wall or 

 trellis with flowers. Use them to screen out unsightly areas, or to touch up 

 a drab spot with beautiful color. Star Everbloorning Climbers are hardy, 

 vigorous and long-lived. Remember — don't prune away first-year canes, 

 because Climbers produce (lowers mostly on old wood. Prune to keep in 

 bounds or to remove dead wood. We list only the finest kinds — and there 

 are not too many of them. These, like all Star Roses, are, of course, guaranteed 

 to bloom. 



BLAZE 



(Improved — Repeat-Rlooming) This is the brilliant red which you see every- 

 where on fences, porches, trellises and arbors. This improved strain now gives 

 you colorful masses of flowers in June and again in fall, with some flowers in 

 between. The bush is hardy and enormously vigorous, producing long, willowy 

 canes which are easily trained. It grows like mad, but a touch of pruning will 

 keep it where you want it. You couldn't have a brighter one. $2 ea.; 3 or 

 more, $1.75 ea. 



RED EMPRESS 



Everbloorning. Plant Pat. 1573. This is a strong-growing, sturdy plant which 

 is handsome with fine foliage and big. Hybrid Tea-like flowers of rich red. It 

 has been gaining in popularity ever since we introduced it a few years ago. 

 The color is a bit deeper than that of Lancaster, hut the blooms are the same 

 impressive 5-inchers. They come plentifully and they smell good, and what 

 more could anyone want? Good flowers for cutting. Yes, they are! And you 

 can cut a lot of them if you like, and still the bush won't miss them. This is a 

 very worthwhile climbing rose which will provide color and beauty anywhere 

 you plant it — and in short order, too. $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.

OLDEN SHOWERS 



GOLDEN 

 SHOWERS 



^p^ Everbloorning. Plant Pat. 1557. 

 *M? I think that the two finest yellow 

 climbers are this one and Peace (de- 

 scribed on the next page). Nonetheless, 

 they are two different roses, each with 

 its own qualities. Golden Showers is an 

 All-America winner with large daffodil- 

 yellow flowers. It produces some of 

 them in the first year, and many more 

 thereafter, the plant at that time 

 literally covering itself with golden 

 blooms. They're a good 5 inches 

 across, and you can imagine how they 

 make the landscape shine. Another 

 wonderful characteristic of Golden 

 Showers is its amazingly vigorous 

 growth habit. So strong are the thick 

 canes that the plant will stand alone 

 without support. It can thus be used 

 as a free-standing shrub or as a climber, 

 as you choose. The Golden Showers 

 on my back fence was burned severely 

 several years ago by a neighbor's trash- 

 fire. I thought the rose was done for; 

 but I pruned off the burned wood any- 

 way, and the plant came right hack as 

 good as new. As I said — lots of strength 

 and vigor. S2.50 ea.; 3 or more, 

 $2.20 ea.
