You can get more and better blooms from your Roses by keeping the plants free of 

 destructive insects and diseases. This can be accomplished by a reasonably simple pro- 

 gram of regular care. The aim is to prevent attack, rather than to cure. The easiest way to 

 do this is by timely, regular use of a multi-purpose dust or spray; each application protects 

 the plants from all the common insects and diseases likely to attack Roses. 



The idea is to keep the leaves covered, top and underside, with a thin coating of protec- 

 tive material. Start spraying or dusting as soon as the leaves appear in spring and renew 

 it promptly after rain. If there are long dry spells, new growth will need additional treat- 

 ment, but the worst enemy of Roses, blackspot, attacks only in the presence of moistiire. 

 The new fungicides, applied promptly after rain, give excellent protection against this 

 disease. Since healthy Rose plants bloom continuously from spring to fall, they well repay 

 this care. The materials listed below, applied with the efficient tools listed on the next page, 

 make this routine care a relatively simple matter, especially after you become accustomed 

 to doing it. 



• STAR ROSE DUST 



We have felt that our customers should have a better dust and spray, 

 which would give belter control of most insects and diseases at less cost 

 than heretofore. So we have been developing our own Star Rose brands, 

 with formulas based on the latest information and research on Rose care. 

 We now have a new Star Rose Dust that contains DDT, rotenone, Fermate 

 and sulphur in proper proportions to protect your plants well against niosl 

 insects and diseases. 



Star Rose Dust has been developed to give the widest possible protection 

 per single application, to be economical to use (the thinnest possible coating 

 is the best with this dust), to be safe for use on plants all season, and to do 

 all this at the lowest possible cost. Lb. 95c; 4 lbs. $3.35, postpaid ; 25-lb. 

 can $13, express collect.

• STAR ROSE SPRAY 



This spray was developed for our customers who prefer spraying to dusting. (See next page 

 for analysis of the advantages of each method.) It is made to give the widest possible protection 

 at each application, to spread evenly and stay on the plant, to be safe for the plants all season, 

 to be effective as a thin coating and to do all this at the lowest possible cost. 



Spraying with Star Rose Spray can be sure and economical protection for your Roses. Mix 

 only as much as needed for each application, because it does not keep long after being mixed with 

 water. Spray evenly and thoroughly but not too heavily. (Any that drips off is of no help.) Use 

 the best sprayer you can afford and clean it thoroughly after each use. Then you can care for 

 anv number of Roses at low cost per plant per year with Star Rose Spray. 1 lb. makes 16 gals, 

 of spray. Lb. $2.15; 4 lbs. $7.75, ppd.

• STAR ROSE FERTILIZER 



A new aid to better Roses. A balanced fertiliaer made from organic as 

 well as inorganic material for best results. Contains available nitrogen, 

 phosphorus and potash in 7-8-5 analysis, and also minor minerals which we 

 believe to be important for best growth and bloom. Better for Roses than 

 the older all-chemical fertilizers. 



A 5-lb. bag will ordinarily supply enough fertilizer for two applications 

 over 100 sq. ft. of Rose bed. Three applications at monthly intervals are 

 usually enough for established Roses. (For the first year, no fertilizer is 

 needed in a well-prepared bed.) 



Star Rose Fertihzer is also good for chrysanthemums and other flowers, 

 the lawn and the vegetable garden. 5 lbs. $1.25; 10 lbs. $2.25, ppd.; 

 25 lbs. $2.95, not ppd.
