STAR ROSES MAKE WELCOME GIFTS 

 THEY KEEP ON GIVING, YEAR AFTER YEAR 



1. A Christmas card announcing your gift will be sent 

 at the proper time to anyone for whom you order Christ- 

 mas gift Roses. The illustration above shows the at- 

 tractive picture that will be on the card. 



2. The plants ordered will be shipped next spring at the 

 right time for planting, unless you request otherwise. Early 

 orders can be sent in time for fall planting if you prefer. 



3. All Christmas gift orders must reach us by De- 

 cember 15 if the announcement cards are to arrive in time. 



4. Earlier ordering is advisable. (This will help you, 

 too, to avoid the rush of many things to do at the last 

 moment. Send your order now, and that gift will be all 

 attended to.) 



5. Be sure to give full names and addresses to which 

 the Roses are to be sent. Please print these names and 

 addresses clearly so your gift can be properly delivered. 



6. Please write all gift orders on separate paper from 

 other orders. 



7. On the gift card we write your name as donor, the 

 names of the Roses ordered and the date when the plants 

 will be forwarded. We attend to the shipping time. Full 

 planting and cultural directions go with each order. 



8. If you prefer, you can order $2.50 or $5 gift certi- 

 ficates in any amount to be sent with the Christmas cards 

 announcing your gifts. These permit your friends to 

 make their own selections, which is often most appre- 

 ciated. A copy of our Spring Catalog is sent to each as 

 soon as it comes from the press, and when they order, 

 there can be no doubt that your gifts will be "Just what 

 they wanted!" 



9. By ordering Star Roses or Star Rose Gift Certificates 

 as Christmas gifts, you avoid the tiresome annoyance of 

 pushing through Christmas shopping crowds, and have 

 the satisfaction of knowing your present will be joyfully 

 received, even if it is duplicated by someone else. There 

 is always room for more Roses in a flower-lover's garden.
