quality plants

This is always one of the most popular offers in our catalog, and 

 certainly it is one of the world's best values in Roses. For the plants 

 are all our regular catalog varieties, the same fine size and grade as 

 plants sold separately. Since there is not a variety in our catalog 

 that is not well worth having, you run no risk in this "OUR SE- 

 LECTION" Rose collection, but get more Roses for every dollar. 



These Hybrid Tea Roses bloom from spring to frost and the 

 number of fine, fragrant flowers the dozen plants will give, will amaze 

 and delight you. Yet they can be grown in a bed only 3 x 10 ft., or 

 4V2 x 7 ft. No flower is lovelier. Their wealth of beauty, and the joy 

 they bring, increase with succeeding years. 



Each Rose in these sets is labeled with a Star Rose name tag — a 

 durable, weatherproof, celluloid, star-shaped label bearing the name 

 of the Rose. There is sure to be a wide range of colors among the 

 Roses, and all plants are guaranteed to bloom. We also guarantee 

 the value of the collection to be at least $18.

• MA PERKINS. Plant Pat. 1143. This 

 /jS£\ newest award winner has much larger 

 A^ifs individual blooms than most Flori- 

 bundas, and a form more like that of 

 Hybrid Teas. It is also more fragrant than 

 most, with a fresh, spicy scent. Its color is 

 delightful. The daintily formed buds are a 

 soft, yet rich pink, flushed with yellow at the 

 base. They open exquisitely, with 25 or 

 more petals of shell-pink and delicate coral 

 tones. 



The plants are excellent, good and bushy 



about 3 feet high, with abundant, highly 



disease-resistant foliage, sturdy stems and 



lots of bloom. $2.25 ea. ; 3 or more, $2 ea. ; 



25 or more, $1.80 ea.
