*Guinee. Climbing Hybrid Tea. New 1938 



1938* Star 



America's smartest Rose hobbyists and 

 eminent amateur rosarians take the keen- 

 est delight each year in the season's 

 leading Novelties. A new Rose with out- 

 standing_ qualities of "difference" or 

 superiority, they want. They are alert 

 to attend the "coming-out party" on 

 these pages, which are the "stage," and 

 here on view are the "debutantes." Do 

 we doll them up to look their best? We 

 do. Their charms are for you who will 

 give them a good home. If you think of 

 them as you might of a thoroughbred, to 

 be cared for lovingly and finally entered 

 for the "sweepstakes," there, too, they'll 

 score. Leading Rose-breeders in Europe 

 and America know our reputation as 

 "Introducers of worthy Novelties." They 

 send us their most promising sorts. We 

 test assiduously' and choose charily; then, 

 not only from our own but Jrom all the 

 new ones, we select the Best by Test. 

 We offer you here the "Cream of the 

 Crop." (See pages 2 to 7.) 



:^GUINEE. CI. H.T. Pillar. (C. Mallerin, 

 1938.) Deep maroon. This dusky, 

 damask-scented beauty is so satisfying 

 in its perfection of form and coloring as 

 to arouse visiting Rose experts to a real 

 pitch of excitement. Our illustration 

 hints at the form but fails to capture the 

 sheen and the nap in the velvetiness of 

 this child of Souv. de Claudius Denoyel 

 by Ami Quinard. The 50 petals make a 

 sturdy, pointed, blackish maroon bud, 

 final stage as here shown. 4 to 5 flowers 

 on a stem, 3 to 4 inches across. Give 

 winter protection. 



Last spring we put out 20 plants cut 

 back to 4 inches and by June 7 they had 

 started blooming; some repeat. Plants 

 here grow to 7 feet. Mr. Mallerin pre- 

 dicted "Guinee will create a sensation."

Your Guide to GOOD ROSES 



When you buy a Rose plant, you get only a promise of 

 the blooms to come. When one considers the risk of dis- 

 appointment to those who rely on cheapness, the peace of 

 mind assured from having satisfaction guaranteed is quite 

 worth the Httle extra you pay for Star Rose quality. 



This firm resolved years ago that its best chance for rendering a 

 distinguished service to the American people would be found in growing 

 very excellent Roses. We believed then, as we believe now, that the 

 largest unsatisfied market in America is for goods of top quahty. Even 

 forty years ago we had the advantage of the leadership of the very 

 men who had, beginning in 1868, right here in West Grove, pioneered 

 in the American Rose-growing industry. Their thirty years of founda- 

 tion experience was to us an invaluable heritage. 



During the forty years since then we have continued to learn more 

 and more about growing good Roses. That has been our life-long ambi- 

 tion. For two generations we have bent our energies and resources toward 

 the goal of producing and dehvering at all times "The Best Roses for 

 America" — nationally known as STAR ROSES. Is it any wonder that 

 Rose-lovers from every state in the Union say that we "grow the Best 

 Roses"? 



Try them and see how weVe built the elements of excellence right 

 into the quality of our Trade-Marked, Guaranteed Star Roses.
