EVERBLOOMING ^ STAR ^ ROSES 



71 STANDARD VARIETIES 



We guarantee these Roses to bloom within 12 weeks from planting or we refund their cost 



"Standard Varieties" has here an important meaning. It has reference to two qualities: (1) the plants here 

 offered are top-quality, 2-year-old field plants, mostly grown at West Grove, i.e., the standard Star Grade; (2) the 

 selection of these particular varieties has nothing haphazard about it, but is the result of wide experience and 

 careful observation over many years with a far larger list. All good current kinds have been tested and we have 

 by elimination selected the choicest kinds for you. 



Floribunda Roses! We have them, so designated where they appear below. "Floribunda" is a new term 

 applied, not to a strain, but to a group of Roses to indicate qualities as follows: Like Gruss an Aachen, hardy, 

 of medium height, and continuous bloom in numerous clusters of fairly large, single, or quite double flowers. 

 Especially suited for mass or row planting. "Floribunda" varieties are also among the Polyantha and other 

 classes. By planting any one of these varieties 15 inches apart, in double or treble rows, one may obtain quite 

 an impressive effect by reason of the blanket-like, foliage-hiding mass of continuous bloom. 



Every plant is guaranteed to bloom, so you can confidently order whatever you fancy, with not the slightest 

 fear of failure. Descriptions have been written from the Roses as they grow right here in our Star Rose-Gardens.
