Star, 4 Guide 
West Grove, Pa. 
January 1, 1945 


While I write this, the ground and all around are sheathed in a heavy coat 
of ice thick as a plate of armor, as if nature would protect from winter cold 
her precious roots awaiting the spring that is to come. The trees are bare except 
for a few straggling leaves on the oaks. The evergreens alone appear as brave 
as ever under their icy mantle. 
The 2,000 Rose plants in the garden nearby look a bit sad, as if patiently waiting for 
spring. Above ground, some branches may suffer because last autumn there was no 
time to spare around here to give winter protection. The year before it was the same, 
but happily the loss was slight. 
How much in life is like that now with the world at war! We are living through a 
winter of life, enduring it with sad patience and biding our time until Peace comes. 
That Peace shall dawn for us at least in a corner of our lives, we may make very 
sure. If we have the space and there plant a grand new Rose, we may insure for those 
we love one spot were Peace will come indeed. This statement is of course symbolic, 
for the plants now ready for you will help you to construct on your own property 
just such a haven. 
DOUBLE AA HONOR 
Few indeed are the firms so fortunate as we to be doubly honored by the All-Amer- 
ica Rose Selections. Two Conard-Pyle 1945 introductions, the Hybrid Tea, Horace 
McFarland and the Floribunda, Floradora both won AARS Awards. Fortunately, 
though all sold out last autumn, we were able to obtain additional plants of Horace 
McFarland for those who order early. Floradora, page 8, is in somewhat better supply. 

New! SHINING STAR. H.T. (Charles Mallerin) 
This vivid chrome-yellow Rose produces enormous Jong buds 21% inches in 
length. The 25 petals of the glorious flower roll back to show a lovely 114-inch 
center of golden anthers like dots of gold topping the long 
carmine filaments. The flowers, with fruitiest fragrance, 
come singly on long stems on tall-growing plants with dark, 
leathery, glossy foliage. This Rose is not a prolific bloomer 
but can be relied upon for exquisite flowers intermittently 
throughout the growing season. 
Especially popular in the North- 
west. $2 ea.
