 1 the FINEST BLOOMS at LEAST COST ° 



.1 



OUR first "Star Dozen" was offered in* 1909 and we were proud of it then, for it 

 contained the best dozen everblooming Roses on the market at that time. 

 Just as automobiles have improved since 1909, so have Roses, and each year 

 our Star Dozen is brought up to top quality by including new and dependable kinds 

 which have shown improvement in color, growth, hardiness, or more continuous bloom. 

 The great Condesa de Sastago, shown on front cover, Rouge Mallerin, page 3, and 

 the lovely Duquesa de Penaranda, page '■ -A- 

 are now in this collection as well as the six ™ 

 shown in color on these two pages. 



All in this dozen are guaranteed to bloom 

 within ten weeks from date of planting or 

 we refund their cost. You can confidently 

 depend on hundreds of blooms from these 

 12 Roses to cut all summer and until frost.
