One of the great pleasures of gardening is the 

 thrill of adding new plants, now and again. New 

 Roses are always especially exciting. Planted this 

 fall, they'll bloom next spring, right along with older 

 plants, and keep on blooming all season — much 

 longer than other types of garden flowers. 



Then, too, different Rose varieties have different 

 "personalities." One may be gay and saucy; another 

 has great dignity and elegance. There are colors, 

 types and kinds for every taste; no Rose gardener 

 has to confine himself to other people's preferences. 



We have limited our list of the newer Roses to 

 kinds that have proved themselves of real merit as 

 Roses and as garden plants; but among these 

 good kinds, we have a fine, wide assortment for 

 your choosing. We hope you will enjoy making 

 your selections from this catalog, and that you'll 

 have still greater joy from your Star Rose blooms 

 next season.
