Let the Sign of the Star * 



be your "GuiDE TO GoOD ROSES 



// 



SUCCESS WITH ROSES IS EASY IF you arc <i:ukkd to get good Rose plants to 

 start with. A good I lybrid Tea Rose plant should bh)om not only for fifteen to twenty 

 weeks this year, but also through succeeding years. The cost of a good Rose plant, when 

 compared with its hfc-work, is trilhng indeed. A poor Rose plant is expensive, even 

 at the lowest price, because the difTcrence in cost can never make up, after weeks of 

 A\aiting, for the loss and disappointment in poor results. 



LET THE SIGN OF THE STAR * BE YOUR GUIDE TO GOOD ROSES. Plant Star 



* Roses and be safe. The Star * was chosen many years ago as the trade-mark of tlie "Best Roses for 

 America." We have had thirty-four years' experience right here at West Grove, where the growing 

 of Garden Roses in America had its beginning. There is nothing surj^rising in the fact that Star 



* Roses are nationally known. They are the product of two generations of honest effort to do one thing 

 well, and even in these days there has been no let-down in their quality. 



FOR TWO FULL YEARS before You get them, we grow an extra grade of quality into the 

 Star * Rose plants. Naturally, sturdy stock that has been constantly looked after, properly nourished 

 and carefully handled costs more to produce. If five good Rose plants produce more bloom than ten 

 poor ones and live twice as long, you will enjoy, probably for years, not only more and better blooms 

 but also a sense of thrift for having paid slightly more for that extra Star * Rose quality. 



STAR QUALITY HAS BEEN MAINTAINED, and in spite of that, we have lowered prices. There 

 are no better Roses, we beheve, to be had anywhere, and these are the Roses offered on 

 the following pages in special collections at reduced rates. To take full advantage of these 

 special offers we suggest that you get your friends or neighbors to order with you; thus, 

 by increasing the quantity ordered, you will all get the advantage of the lowest possible 

 prices. If none of the offers please you, make up your own special collections or combina- 

 tions and from the single rate or each prices deduct as follows: If you order 12 at the single 

 rate, deduct 10 per cent discount; if you order 25 or more at single rate, deduct 20 per cent 

 discount. These discounts apply to every Rose offered in this catalog. 



STAR • ROSES ARE GUARANTEED TO BLOOM. It is not the guarantee which 



makes the Roses bloom, but the excellent 

 quality of the plants which enables us to 

 make the guarantee. This is not new. We 

 have consistently fulfilled this pledge for 

 over twenty-five years. We never consider 

 a transaction settled until our patron is 

 fully satisfied. We guarantee every Star iir 

 Rose to bloom at the first blooming 

 period after purchase, failing which 

 we agree to replace the Rose or refund 

 the cost. 



STAR * ROSES ARE TRADE-MARKED. On every Star * Rose plant you 

 get will be found the exclusive durable Star ir Rose label made of long-lasting 

 celluloid with the name of the Rose indelibly printed on one side and our name 

 on the other, all securely fastened to the plant by a copper wire. The label secures 

 accuracy of name and is also the sign and seal of our guarantee. So, again, you see, 

 the sign of the Star ic is your "Guide to Good Roses."
