sa " 91 ' Winner — is this lovely rich yellow. Everyone 

 agrees it's the deepest of the yellows, a glorious Rose 

 of deep, glowing color which it holds throughout its 

 blooming period. There is about Lowell Thomas an 

 air of cheeriness, of optimism, a feeling that great 

 things are about to happen. And so they do when the 

 beautiful buds unfold their beauty and the high- 

 cupped centers of the 4-inch-wide flowers reveal their 

 magnificence. You won't fail to find pleasure in so 

 lovely a revelation. Just imagine blooms like this set 

 off by equally rich green leaves, each serving to accent 

 the other. What a stunner it is! The plant is a vigor- 

 ous one, growing sturdily upright and developing 

 strong, erect stems to hold the wonderful yellow 

 blooms. This distinguished performer was among the 

 Top Ten All-America group in 1950. R's still a 

 topper in any garden. Have one in yours. S2.25 ea.; 

 3 or more, $2 ea. 



STAR ROSES 



WEST GROVE, PENNA. 



The Fairest of the Whites 



•BLANCHE MALLERIN. H.T. (Mallerin.) Plant Pat. 

 594. Long a favorite of people who like the pristine purity 

 of whiteness in a Rose, Blanche Mallerin is sheer beauty 

 chiseled from a frosty snowbank. Making this one more 

 enchanting still is sweet fragrance, a rare thing in white Roses. 

 But then, the lovely Blanche is a rare Rose seen from any 

 angle. The buds are long and come singly, opening to beau- 

 tifully modeled blooms whose petals have a live, satiny sheen 

 that is most appealing. There are from 35 to 40 of them to a 

 flower, and many a flower to the bush, for Blanche Mallerin 

 is a good, vigorous, free-blooming plant which grows upright 

 to medium height. It would be difficult to compare this with 

 any other white . . . impossible, really. No other has so much 

 quality, point by point; and none, therefore, can match it 

 today. Set it in your garden this fall, and see, in the spring, 

 how naturally this unusually fine white Rose acts as a foil 

 for your reds and yellows and pinks. Makes a splendid cutting 

 Rose, too! $2.25 ea.; 3 or more, $2 ea.

WHY FALL PLANTING? 



One good reason for planting Roses in fall is that the ground is 

 mellow and right. Another is that when spring comes your Roses 

 are already in and ready to take advantage of good growing 

 weather. Still a third reason is that the spring work load is al- 

 ways heavy, and if you plant in fall, you'll have less to do later. 

 Roses, of course, are ideal plants for fall planting.
