Here is a rose that has be- & come world-famous . . . perhaps we can ASB> call it the ‘“Taj Mahal” of roses! It sells itself to all who see it, and thousands of flower lovers have planted Peace as their first rose. If you are a “rank” novice at growing roses, you should by all means follow their example. The flowers, the leaves, the stems, the grow- ing and blooming ability of this rose are so far above average that Peace is in a category all its own. Its colors pass through a lovely range, from yellow to pale gold and ivory, with a soft pink flush at the petal edge that gradually 5 suffuses the creamy petals. And the fascinating thing is that a bloom changes from day to day, and no two flowers are ever precisely alike. They are carried on stems as thick as a pencil and are set off by crackling dark green, leath- ery foliage. The plant is very hardy and strong, blooming steadily until hard frost. $2.75 ea.—3 or more, $2.40 ea. | 2 Phone: (215) 869-2426 Copyright 1971, The Conard-Pyle Co. Printed in U.S.A.

About two minutes per plant per week will do it. Your reward will be dozens of mar- velous blooms that will thrill you all the more because some of your own effort went into producing them.

STAR ROSE FERTILIZER This is a high quality balanced plant food . . a fer- tilizer developed out of long experience in knowing what roses thrive on. Contains organic and inorganic material, available nitrogen, phosphorus and potash in 7-7-7 analysis. We believe this fertilizer is best for roses, mums and other garden flowers, lawns, vegetable gardens or wherever you need to give plants a bal- anced diet.

Dusting is quicker be- cause you can keep your duster filled, ready for use after a rain or at the first hint of trouble. Spraying, on the other hand, gives wider coverage, therefore better control. For these reasons many expert gardeners use both Star Rose Dust and Star Rose Spray for worry- free rose gardening. Whether you choose dusting or spraying or a combination of both practices you can put your trust in these products—we do. When apply- ing dusts or sprays remember that light, widespread coverage is more effective than a deluge. Also, during hot weather, it is best to spray after sundown to avoid spray burn on the young, tender leaves and shoots.
