S*<t #, MERRY CHRISTMAS 7 ' to 

 your friends this year with a 

 gift of (Jtar * 



The happiest choice of Christmas gifts for friends and 

 loved ones is always a thoughtful choice, made carefully 

 and with consideration. That's why, even at this season, 

 it is not too soon to think about your shopping list . . . and 

 that's why the gift of Roses is always so well received. Why 

 not, then, take advantage of the Star Rose way to care for 

 the matter now? 



Here's how to do it. Choose the Rose bush or collection of 

 Roses that you wish to send as a Christmas gift. As a token 

 of that gift, we will send at Christmastime a real, living red 

 Rosebud in a vial of water — just like the one pictured here; 

 and with it, a Christmas card announcement from you. in- 

 forming the recipient that in the spring, at just the right 

 time for planting, he will receive the Roses you ordered for 



him. The Rosebud and card are sent direct 

 in time for Christmas; the bushes are sent 

 later at the proper time. Rosebuds cannot 

 be sent with orders which are not Christmas 

 gifts. 



Send your gift orders to us early. We must have 

 them before December 10, if we are to send a Rose- 

 bud token gift. 



If you should not wish to choose the Roses your- 

 self, and wish to let the recipient pick his own 

 varieties, you can order gift certificates ($2.50 or $5 gift 

 certificates in any total amount) and we will send your 

 friends our spring catalog to choose from.

• CHARLES MALLERIN. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 933. This Star 

 Rose is the "blackest" big red Rose there is . . .a magnificent bloom of 30 to 

 40 substantial velvet petals and with a gloriously intense and rich fragrance. 

 Kven the best picture fails to show the exciting and rare character of this 

 deep red Rose. There are other red Roses that will bloom more than this one, 

 but none can touch it for quality of bloom, for sheer handsomeness of flower. 

 Superb! $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.
