 73 Star Standard Kinds 



For Fall Planting 



\\ e do much more than grow Roses, we know 



them. \\ hen you buy Star Roses you reap the 

 benefit of experience and judgment. You 

 safeguard yourself from unlucky investment 

 in inferior sorts. 



There are more than 730 kinds of Roses 

 offered for sale in America, and we know prac- 

 tically every one of them. If you desire, we 

 can probably obtain such for you, but without 

 the Star Guarantee to bloom and guarantee to 

 be true to name. Star Roses we do guarantee fully. 

 (See page 2.) 



W hat is important for you to note is that if a 

 kind is not found in our list, it is likely to please 

 but a very small number of our patrons. Only the 

 kinds which we believe promise to produce for you 

 the highest all-round satisfaction are permitted to 

 wear the Honor Mark of The Star Label. 



Novelties on preceding pages offer the thrill 

 and excitement of adventure. These 73 Star Stan- 

 dard Kinds cover the entire range in colors that 

 have been judged best by Star Test. 



•A 



litumn. H.T. pictured 



A rainbow of autumn's glorious colors is what this 

 splendid Rose produces during the growing season. 

 The straight buds of deep burnt-orange open to 3-inch 

 flowers of the same burnt-orange stained and splashed 

 with red, orange, and various shades of pink. It never 

 loses that "richness," even when the petals are ready to 

 fail. It has 25 to 30 petals and is deliciously fragrant. 

 The plants are upright, with large, leathery, very dark 

 green foliage. Deservedlv popular. Illustrated above. 

 90 cts. each.* 



•ABOL. H.T. White. Good white Roses are scarce; 

 a half-opened bloom of Abol, with its trace of pink in 



the center, is therefore something to remember. 

 especially as it is one of the most deliciously fragrant of 

 all Roses. When in full bloom the flowers are pure 

 white without a trace of pink. One of the most beautiful 

 whites. 75 cts. each.* 



•ALICE STERN. H.T. Creamy white. Long-pointed 

 buds and finely formed flowers of creamy white with a 

 slight salmon tint on the center petals. It has about 

 50 petals and is sweetly fragrant. Strong plants with 

 heavy bronzy toliage. $1 each.* 



•AIM I QUINARD. H.T. See illustration. Black- 

 Iustered red. Blackish buds open to semi-double flow- 

 ers of velvety crimson-maroon with a soft black luster; 

 instead of fading, the petals get darker as the bloom 

 ages.^ It has splendid old-rose fragrance. Strong, up- 

 right plant, almost matching the Radiances for vigor. 

 This Rose is improving, for it has several more petals 

 than when first introduced and we now consider it one 

 of our best. First Class Certificate, Bagatelle; Certii- 

 icate of Merit, Barcelona. $1 each* 



+ANGELE PERNET. H.T. Orange. Beautiful, fra- 

 grant Angele Pernet is a connoisseur's Rose. There are 

 not many of the enchanting, brownish orange blooms 

 but each one is a gem laden with perfume. The plant 

 has shiny holly-like foliage, another virtue. Like all 

 high-colored Roses, it will do much better if partly 

 shaded. 75 cts. each.* 



•ARIEL. H.T. Orange-flame. The buds are orange 

 and develop into orange-pink blooms that age to lighter 

 pink. These lovely blooms have a distinct fragrance 

 like hothouse violets. The plants are vigorous, healthy, 

 and produce freely. 75 Cts. each.* 



•AUTUMN. See description above. 90 cts. each.* 



•BARBARA ROBINSON. H.T. White. Lovely 

 buds opening to 3-inch flowers of creamy white. It has 

 40 to 50 petals and is fragrant. Very free blooming. 

 Low growing but extra good. SI each.* 



•Ami Quinard. One of the darkest of the reds. Si ea.
