EXCEL FOR VIGOROUS HEALTHY GROWTH AND FREEDOM OF BLOOM 
Here are a dozen troupers that can be successfully grown by the veriest amateur. 
In this dozen are the ‘‘tops” in the different colors, varieties that through years of testing have proved to be superlatively 
healthy and vigorous in growth. They will bloom freely from June until hard frost. 
These Roses had to Prove themselves practically fool-proof before they were eligible for election to the Star Dozen. In 
any normal soil, and with 4 hours or more daily sunshine, they should, without any pampering, produce at least 400 choice 
blooms during the 1942 growing season. They are all 
hardy and should bloom for you for years to come. 
These 12 great Roses take little space when planted 15 
inches apart. A piece of ground the size of an ordinary 
kitchen table is all they need, and from them you can cut, 
almost daily for 5 months, morning-fresh blooms to help 
you start your day with a song. 
We all know that quality is economy, so don’t forget 
when ordering Roses that it takes as much ground and 
as much care to grow an inferior Rose as it does to growa 
quality Star Rose. When you plant Star Rose plants you 
get Star Rose blooms to cut and enjoy.
