STAR NOVELTIES 
The delightful certainty that Star Roses will bloom, 
coupled with the exciting uncertainty of what color, 
size and form they will show, always put a premium 
, on Novelty Roses. 
4 
The distinction you will earn by being the first one 
=e in your neighborhood to have each new item is of it- 
self a good reason for being a pioneer in trying out the 
novelty Roses. Then you will be in position to make 
up your own mind as to which kinds you want most to 
continue growing. 
Relatively few people are aware of the amazing ad- 
vance which new Roses are registering over former 
ones. This applies both to the range of coloring and 
to excellence in performance. Not in electronics or 
airplane design has there been relatively greater im- 
provement than in recent Roses. We ask you when 
you get them, to note the added brilliancy of coloring; 
some are as vivid as tropical butterflies. But novelty 
Star plants have the added advantage of lasting for 
years. 
The agencies which grant awards for a superior 
product will help to guide you in your choice. We 
have indicated the more important of these awards, 
though this too should be remembered: that some- 
times in the race of one Rose with another for leading 
popularity over the years, varieties introduced with 
the greatest fanfare may lag behind other less con- 
spicuous introductions which later forge ahead of the 
earlier winners. You may be among the first to find 
that out. We encourage you to be your own judge, 
acquire the skill and know the true thrill of sportsman- 
ship in Rose growing.
