STAR 5 GUIDE 
* ROUGE MALLERIN. Page 13. (8) Scarlet. The 
alluring damask fragrance is but one of the excellent 
qualities of this favorite of the famous Rose hybridizer, 
Charles Mallerin. This great, everblooming red Rose 
does not blue. The pointed buds of brilliant red open to 
314-inch blooms of glowing scarlet, the deep pile on the 
petals making them look like rich scarlet velvet. The 
blooms are scarlet in June but become almost maroon in 
the Fall, with blackish shadings that make this one of 
the most desirable red Roses. (See ‘‘Star Dozen,’ 
page 12.) $1 each.* 
*SIGNORA. H.T. Plant Pat. 201. Br-color. This 
beautiful Rose of President Herbert Hoover type has 
been warmly praised from Marine to California on ac- 
count of its prolifte bloom on vigorous, branching, tall- 
growing plants and fine foliage.’ The long-tapering buds 
of brownish orange are followed by great blooms of 
mandarin orange and salmon. $1 each; 3 for $2.50.% 
* SNOWBIRD. H.T. White. Many white Roses are white 
only when full blown but here is one that is snow white from the 
bud until the petals fall. For bedding It is unsurpassed for it Is 
very proliftc and makes a great show all season. The fragrant, 
pure white flowers are perfectly formed, full petaled and are often 
4 inches across. They come singly and also in clusters on neat, 
compact, healthy plants. $1 each.* 
* SOEUR THERESE. H.T. Page 13. (5) Buttercup-yellow. 
This 1s the most astonishing variety in the yellow class for it 
blooms in candelabras (not clusters) of from 5 to 15 flowers, 
forming on top of sturdy canes that hold the blooms erect. Each 
flower ts fine for cutting as It comes on a wiry stem from 6 to 8 
inches in length. Each perfectly formed, long pomted yellow bud 
is richly marked with carmine but the open blooms are clear yel- 
low. One established plant will sometimes bear 40 or more 
blooms at one time. (See “‘Star Dozen,’’ page 12.) $1 each.* 
* STERLING. Page 17. (2) H.T. Plant Pat. 21. Pink. Bright 
pink flowers of splendid form come singly on vigorous-growing 
plants. Sterling was first grown as a Rose for greenhouse culture 
but proved so excellent when tested outdoors that it now ranks 
as one of the best in the deep pink Hybrid Teas. This consistent 
prize-winner at Rose shows throughout the U. S. A. is an ex- 
quisitely modeled variety with intense, true Rose fragrance. The 
beautiful blooms come singly on strong, erect stems. $1 each; 
3 for $2.50. 
* TALISMAN. Page 17. (G3) Multicolored. No Rose ever 
produced created more of a sensation than Talisman, and many 
people have predicted its popularity would soon pass, but our 
own yearly sales show that this Is not so, for it Is still one of the 
most popular in its color class. The chalice-like form is most 
attractive and the blooms open freely in all kinds of weather. At 
its gayest it is a glorious combination of orange, yellow and rose- 
red. It will have occasional imperfect blooms but still remains 
one of the finest of all garden Roses for cutting as the blooms are 
long-lasting and come singly on strong, erect stems. The fragrant 
flowers are much more highly colored in autumn. 85 cts. each.*
