1U»! Big-Flowered CUSHIONS 



Here is the newest thing in garden Chrysanthemums: 

 the STAR CUSHION series of big-flowered Cushions, 

 originated by Star Roses. Plants make perfect mounds, 

 13 to 15 inches high and 29 to 34 inches across, solidly 

 covered with long-lasting, 2 to 3 x /2-inch blooms. 



65c ea. ; 3 of one variety for $1.65 



Orchid Star. Densely double, solid, rounded flowers 

 of even, rosy orchid or Daphne-pink. Blooms early 

 and long lasting, with a color that does not fade or 

 change. Crisp, heavy foliage. 



Star Bright. Big, starry-eyed blooms of bright, 

 silvery amaranth-pink, with many long, narrow 

 petals spreading out like sparkling rays from the 

 centers. In full bloom early, a solid bouquet of 

 flowers that hold their perfection persistently. 



Star Glory. The biggest blooms of all, 3 to 3^ inches 

 or more, like big, starry, purple-red daisies com- 

 pletely covering the foliage. 



Violet Star. A later blooming Cushion to prolong 

 the season. Buds and opening blooms unusually 

 rich in color: a clear, true purple, later becoming 

 delicately frosted with silver in sparkling contrast. 

 Very double, with fine, incurving center petals.
