 in color, which is glowing buttercup-yellow.

 which disappears later in the season, leaving 

 the rich yellow, deliciously fragrant blooms 

 in a setting of splendid dark foliage. $1.50

Out in front march the leaders. • • • • 

 Leaders emerge from the mass by virtue of some 

 superior quality. In Roses, it is U) quality of plants, 

 and (2) superiority of breeding. 



For 41 years we have worked hard to serve well 

 our customers, to supply plants that would win 

 confidence for them and for ourselves. "We have 

 aimed steadily to see that Star Roses (trade- 

 marked and guaranteed) should be "The Best 

 Roses for America." Herewith are our best, both 

 as to character and quality. Roses with character 

 and quality at slightly higher first cost are lowest 

 priced in the long run. 



THE FRONT COVER ROSE 



• GOLDEN STATE. H.T. (F. Meilland, 1938.) Plant 

 Patent 303. Golden yellow. The official Rose for the 1939 

 Golden Gate International Exposition, San Francisco. 

 A Rose w^th the erectness, vigor, and abundance of foliage and 

 bloom never heretofore obtained in a yellow Rose. Its long buds 

 are a buff-yellow, w^hich open to glowing hearts of mikado orange. 

 These golden blooms are generally borne singly, but always on 

 erect stems, making them exceptionally fine for cutting. Keeps in 

 water splendidly, showing 40 to 50 petals as it opens to a deeper 

 buff, veiled with salmon but quite free from the albino tint. It 

 retains its rich color till the petals drop. Has faint clove fragrance. 



Golden State was 

 awarded a Gold 

 Medal at Bagatelle 

 in Paris, June, 1937. 

 Other 1937 awards 

 are: Gold Medal, In- 

 ternational Rose Test 

 Gardens, Portland, 

 Ore.; American Rose
