ARE BETTER THAN EVER THIS YEAR 



Star Roses have always been noted for quality. 

 This year, our plants are bigger and better than ever. 

 Experienced visitors, including professional Rose 

 growers, tell us they have never seen finer Rose 

 plants grown anywhere. 



THE FRONT COVER ROSE 



*DR. DEBAT. H.T._ (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 961. This is a 

 handsome, new, big pink Rose of show type that we think 

 has real "Queen of the Show" possibilities. It has large, long, 

 beautifully formed buds of smooth, rich pink with a salmon 

 glow. The high-centered opening blooms are a true, fresh, 

 even pink, becoming big (5 to 6-inch), ruffled blooms, wonder- 

 fully firm textured, with about 30 huge, broad, very heavy 

 petals arranged with perfect regularity. 



This new Rose is a seedhng of the famous and much-loved 

 Radiance, and it fortunately has inherited great strength, 

 vigor, disease resistance and freedom of bloom from its parent, 

 along with its own much improved size and form of flower 

 and bud. We have needed a large, clear rose-pink Rose of 

 fine form that can be depended upon to give a lot of quality 

 blooms consistently. We believe this is it. $2 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $1.75 ea. 



We also have one of the biggest crops we have 



ever had, but we still advise early ordering, especially 



if you wish any of the newer varieties. Star Roses 



have been selling faster than ever this season; 



Happiness, Suzon Lotthe, Symphonic and some 



others sold out in the fall. But we still have 



good quantities of other fine kinds listed 



here, and they are superior plants. You get 



extra value at the regular price when you 



buy Star Rose plants.

^HELEN TRAUBEL. H.T. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 1028. 

 /j^\ Here is a dainty, Dresden-china beauty of a Rose in its 

 l^^'^ delicate and lovely coloring, with a size and form that 

 ^^^ is sheer elegance. Its one fault is that the blooms are 

 sometimes larger than the stem can hold upright. This is 

 easily forgiven, however, when one sees the length of the 

 lovely buds and the magnificence of the plants. 



Buds and blooms are clear tints of apricot and porcelain- 

 pink. Buds are very long and slender; blooms have about 27 

 heavy two-toned petals, the inside pink, the outside flushed 

 apricot. Plants are superbly tall and vigorous with big, 

 sturdy, long canes that produce a lot of bloom all 

 season. $2.75 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.40 ea.
