The miniature pictures show only the form 

 and color of these Nine Hardy Everblooming 

 Roses, all of which, with the exception of Mrs. 

 Aaron Ward, produce large flowers. Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward is noted for its bountiful production of 

 perfect boutonniere buds. All of the Roses here 

 have proved popular with both amateurs and 

 professionals, because they are so dependable and 

 free in bloom. We will name each plant for you 

 with a white celluloid Star label, a symbol of our 

 "guarantee to bloom." 



Combined in this set of Nine Everblooming 

 Star Roses are beauty and grace of form; a wide 

 range of colors from cream, through orange- 

 pink to deepest red; delightfully different fra- 

 grance; and sturdiness and vigor in abundance. 

 A top-notch Nine at a low-rate price. 



IN ILLINOIS — ^These Roses Bloomed in Less Than 

 12 Weeks from Date of Planting 



Order No. 18291 June 20, IQ31 



The two-year-old Star Rose bushes I got of you this 

 spring are full of buds and blossoms. That is better 

 than you promise — "Will bloom in 12 weeks from plant- 

 ing." Mine gave me the first blossom (Duchess of 

 Wellington), early in June — I got the bushes from you 

 late April or early May, and now all are full of Roses. 

 I have raised Rose bushes for 40 years in Wisconsin, 

 in Washington, D. C, and now here in hot middle 

 Illinois.— Mrs. A. A. W., De Kalb, Ills.
