STAR ROSE GROWERS .. . West Grove, Pa. 

A prominent grower and purveyor of Roses recently 
remarked that ‘‘the bulk of purchasers would be 
satisfied if we should merely offer to furnish them red 
Roses, pink Roses, white Roses, and yellow Roses.” 
We doubt it. But it is true that from the maze of 
varieties offered it is often difficult for the amateur to 
make a selection. However, when you choose from the 
Star Rose Catalog there is always this safeguard—you 
can be assured that the utmost care has been taken to 
remove from the list all unfit varieties. Hence, here 
are listed only those which, after years of use by our 
customers in all parts of the nation, have won the dis- 
tinction of beng more or less universal favorites. We 
offer these as best by test and deserving a place mn 
your collection. 
Plant Star Roses this fall.

*xAutumn. 75 cts. each* 
*xAUTUMN. H.T. See illustration. Burnt-orange, 
red, orange, and pink. A rainbow of autumn’s glorious 
colors is what this splendid Rose produces during the 
growing season. The straight buds of deep burnt-orange 
open to 3-inch flowers of the same burnt-orange stained 
and splashed with red, orange, and various shades of 
pink. It never loses that ‘‘richness,’? even when the 
petals are ready to fall. It has 25 to 30 petals and Is 
fragrant. The plants are upright, with large, leathery, 
very dark green foliage. The blooms are exceptionally 
lovely as they open slowly in cool fall weather, just 
before hard frost. This is one of the best cut-flower 
Roses as the blooms come on strong, erect stems and 
are long-lasting. 75 cts. each.* 
*BETTY UPRICHARD. H.T. See _ illustration. 
Carmine and salmon. A most satisfactory Rose, with 
all the good points of Radiance but totally different in 
form and color. Since its introduction it has steadily 
grown in favor with those who appreciate a really satis- 
factory Rose. In color it 1s in a class by itself with its 
beautiful, harmonizing shades of carmine and salmon 
rising from an orange base on firm, thick-textured 
petals that hold their form and color for a long time 
after the flowers are cut. The buds are Iong-pointed 
and open blooms are spicily fragrant. This is one of the 
easiest to grow and most delightful of the standard 
Everblooming Roses. Winner of National Rose Society 
Gold Medal. 75 cts. each.*

*Ami Quinard. $1 each* 
*x*AMI QUINARD. H.T. See illustration. Black- 
lustered red. This is the standard-bearer for the dark 
red Roses, with its alluring, richly colored petals of 
crimson-maroon that look like pieces of soft, luxurious 
velvet. No rival of this royal beauty has yet appeared. 
Blackish buds open to semi-double flowers of velvety 
crimson-maroon with a soft black luster; mstead of 
fading, the petals get darker as the bloom ages. It has 
rich old-rose fragrance. Strong, upright plant, almost 
matching the Radiances for vigor. ‘This Rose is im- 
proving, for it has several more petals than when 
first introduced and we now consider it one of our 
best. First Class Certificate, Bagatelle; Certificate 
of Merit, Barcelona. $1 each.* 
* ARIEL. H.T. Orange-flame. The buds are orange 
and develop into orange-pink blooms that age to lighter 
pink. Fragrance like hothouse violets. 75 cts. each.* 
*xCATHRINE KORDES. H.T. Carmine-scarlet. This 
splendid, full-petaled Rose, with rich bronzy foliage, 
has been under observation for several years and has 
come through with flying colors. The large, well- 
formed flowers are glowing carmine-scarlet and come 
singly on erect, strong stems. $1 each.*
