We have continuously improved "THE STAR 



DOZEN" since its inception 26 years ago because new, 



healthier, and more fascinating Roses keep on displacing 



older varieties which, while good in yesteryears, are not 



worthy of a place in our "Star Dozen" of today. 



In this dozen are included 3 shades of red, 2 shades of pink, 3 tinted, 



3 shades of yellow, and 1 white. You can confidently rely on from 



300 to 400 blooms from this up-to-date Star Dozen the first year 



planted and still have the plants to give you blooms for years to come.

"HOW TO GROW ROSES" 



By Robert Pyle, Past President American Rose Society.. 

 Dr. J. Horace McFarland, Editor for American Rose Society. 

 17th Edition. Enlarged and entirely rewritten G. A. Stevens, Secretary American Rose Society. 



These three prominent American rosarians have combined their life-long experiences in Rose-growing to pro- 

 duce this latest and most practical Rose book. 



210 pages; 32 illustrations in natural colors of many of the most beautiful Roses; 30 photographic reproductions 

 of Roses and Rose-gardens; numerous line drawings to illustrate the text. 



Questions forever arise about Rose-gardening that need an immediate answer. How and when should my Roses 

 be planted? What is the best way to prepare the soil? What fertilizers should I use? Drainage? How far back should I 

 prune my everblooming Roses? What about the climbers? How should I treat my Rose bushes for mildew, black- 

 spot, rose-bugs, etc.? These are but a few of the everyday questions that often must be answered at once — somehow. 

 "How to Grow Roses" solves this problem completely, for it contains up-to-the-minute information on every 

 phase of Rose-growing. Every effort has been made to adapt this volume to serve those who want to know how 

 to grow Roses. $2 postpaid. 



"CLIMBING ROSES" ' s tne new com P an ' on book to"How to Grow Roses." It is quite as complete and beauti- 



WfaimmilM nw^fau ^ t with its 64 illustrations in color and black. Written by G. A. Stevens, it tells, in plain 



words, what Climbing Roses are, and how to get the most out of them. $2 postpaid. Both books save their cost^
