CREAM OF 



You are cordially invited to visit Star Roses. (See 

 map on page 39.) This nursery is unusual in that the 

 public is invited to come and see the actual field 

 plantings, and not just a display garden. The plants 

 are in different locations each year, due to our crop 

 rotation plan, but a system of roads is provided every 

 year, so that visitors can drive all around close to the 

 Roses. From July to October, you can see hundreds 

 of thousands of Rose blooms here, in ail their diff- 

 erent, glorious colors, and drive or walk among them. 



• BLANCHE MALLERIN. H.T. (Mallerin.) 

 Plant Pat. 594. We have yet to find a white Rose 

 to equal Blanche Mallerin in artistic beauty. First 

 of all, it is pure white, in both bud and bloom: a 

 gleaming, live, frosty white. Next, is its great 

 superiority in form, with long, long buds and 

 beautifully modeled blooms. Its crowning grace 

 is its fragrance, since perfume is a rare attribute of 

 white Roses. Buds come singly and erect on up- 

 right plants of medium height. $2 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $1.75 ea. 



• EDEN ROSE. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 

 1149. This new Rose from France was named for 

 the Garden of Eden, and it does seem remarkably 

 suited to the role of ideal ancestor of the race of 

 Roses. Surely, the mother of Roses must have been 

 the triumphantly rich, true rose-pink color of 

 Eden Rose. Certainly, it should have been as 

 sweet; Eden Rose seems to have distilled for itself 

 the fragrance of a whole old-fashioned Rose gar- 

 den. Eden Rose is also fittingly big and bountiful, 

 with 50 to 60 petals and a form that matches our 

 fondest memories of the old-time Roses. Like 

 them, it reaches its fullest glory when fully open. 

 The plants are stocky, with sturdy stems, growing 

 2 to 3 feet high. $2 ea. ; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.
