 STAR ROSES 



• CATHRINE KORDES. H.T. Carmme-scarlet. 

 This magnificent, full-petaled Rose, with rich bronzy 

 foliage, has large, well-formed flowers of glowing car- 

 mine-scarlet that come singly on erect, strong stems. 

 The invariable question of visitors going through our 

 Rose-fields is, "What Rose is that?" when they see 

 Cathrine Kordes. It has grown in favor with us year 

 after year and we heartily recommend it. See Offer, 

 page 17. $1 each.'i' 



lAr CHARLES K. DOUGLAS. H.T. Scarlet-crimson. 

 A red Rose we all want. Lustrous scarlet-crimson flow- 

 ers, 4 inches in diameter, gracefully loose in form, are 

 freely produced on big, bushy plants which are easy to 

 grow. 75 cts. each.'i' See Collection below. 



• CONDESADESASTAGO. ® H.T. Red and yel- 

 low. The buds are chrome-yellow and seem to promise 

 a yellow flower. This yellow is hidden, but not lost, 

 when the bloom opens, for it glows through the rasp- 

 berry-red on the inside of the petals, making a color 

 that is "alive." The lovely, fragrant blooms come 

 continuously on vigorous-growing, upright plants and 

 keep well when cut. This lovely coloring, combined 

 with an adaptability to do well in any climate, make 

 this a Rose for everybody. Winner of medals in the 

 test-gardens of Europe and U. S. A. $1 each.^ See 

 Ofl"er below and the "Star Dozen," page 16. 



:^ COUNTESS VANDAL. Page 10. ® H.T. Plant 

 Patent 38. Copper and salmon. A charming Rose from 

 the first tints of color on the large, long, tapering buds 

 until the flower opens and ages and the petals fall. The 

 buds are orange-copper and open to perfumed, exqui- 

 sitely formed blooms of copper, salmon and gold. These 

 flowers, on strong, erect stems, are splendid for cutting. 

 They are produced continuously from June until frost. 

 $leach; 3 for $2.50. i* 



• DAINTY BESS. H.T. Blush-pink. This Rose is 

 dainty, adorable, and altogether charming in its sim- 

 plicity, for it has only 5 petals, but the flowers are large, 

 3 to 4 inches across, and the petals are quaintly ruffled. 

 The blooms come continuously all season, both singly 

 and in clusters, and the attractive blush-pink flowers 

 are decorated with a mass of stamens on wine-red fila- 

 ments which add the final artistic touch to the beauty 

 of Dainty Bess. This Rose is robustly healthy yet as 

 charming as a baby and has no rival. $1 each.^ 



Besinners^ Set 6 for $3.95 



(Value $4.75) 



We selected these six vigorous-growing, free- 

 blooming varieties for beginners to prove how 

 easy it is to have delightful blooms and plenty of 

 them when well-matured, field-grown Star Roses 

 are planted.
