Everbloomins Star ^ Roses 



We wish you could call here and see the Rose 

 offered on the following pages. All were harvested 

 acres and are undoubtedly the finest plants and big£^ 

 systems that we have ever grown. This fact alone 

 Star Roses w^orth more than ordinary Roses. Few 

 will, like these, bloom from spring till autumn frost — 

 twenty weeks on end — and Star Rose Quality is 3- 

 guarantee of an ample supply of bloom. 



The following kinds provide infmite variety in 

 form, in soft tints and sparkling colors. Some are 

 double; some are single; and there are all degrees 

 between. There are delightful shades of tinted 

 white, pink and red, yellow in all tones from cream 

 to gold, and coppery hues like burning bronze. 



Everblooming Roses are vigorous in growth- 

 habit and require only good, common-sense atten- 

 tion. We send simple, concise planting and cultural 

 directions with each order. 



No one variety combines all desirable qualities 

 in the superlative degree. The Roses listed in the 

 following pages are carefully chosen for individual 

 qualities of growth or bloom, beauty of form or fra^ 

 They have been described from the flowers as they 

 for we grow and know the Roses we sell.

• JOYOUS CAVALIER. H.T. Scarlet-crimson. 1 ne plant is 

 vigorous and bushy, rather tail-growing, almost shrub-hke, some- 

 what on the order of Gruss anTephtz. Its blooms, generally sohtary, 

 standing erect on long stems for cutting, are semi-double, of a jolly 

 red that does not blue. Dehcately fragrant. The continuous bloom 



on the plants in our trial 

 grounds and fields proves 

 this an ideal variety for 

 group planting where a 

 bright joyous red is desired 

 throughout the season. 

 $1.25 each. 



•DIRECTOR RUBIO. 

 H.T. Cochineal-pink. Out- 

 standing both in luminous 

 color and bizarre 

 form, for the color 

 is unique and the 

 laminated petals of 

 the fully opened 

 flower bring to 

 mind the rufHed 

 feathers of a swan. 

 The bud, borne on 

 an erect pedicel, is 

 cerise-scarlet, open- 

 ing to a very large 

 double bloom, sweetly scented, 

 of a sohd cochineal-pink, holding 

 its color long, rain or shine; 

 then it pales some and dies grace- 

 fully. The petals are uneven in 

 shape, some notched. The span 

 from the first color of the bud to 

 the drop of the petals is unusu- 

 ally long. This Rose makes 

 blooms of astonishing size and 

 beauty. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.25.
