Pat. 1119. New. Buttercup-yellow
buds and blooms on fast growing, up-
right, extra-tall plants. Here, they
grow to 5 ft. in height, wonderful as
back-row and accent plants, and for
cutting. The buds are long, sleek and
dapper, the blooms cupped, with about
30 petals and light, very sweet, fra-
grance. Reddish stems and _ healthy,
dark green foliage show off to ad-
vantage the bright gold of the flowers,
which come with swaggering abund-
ance. The 1952 Gold Medal winner at
Geneva, Switzerland. $2.75 ea.; 3 or
more, $2.40 ea.

*Buccaneer Large, long, beautifully formed buds of smooth,
rich pink with a salmon glow. High-centered open-
ing blooms, becoming big (5 to 6 inch) ruffled blooms

type of plant. $2 ea.; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.

* CHARLES MALLERIN. H.T. (Meilland.)
Plant Pat. 933. This is a gorgeous new Rose,
with buds and blooms of midnight crimson velvet,
the ‘‘blackest”’ big red Rose to date. It does not blue.
Its form, as well as its coloring, is exciting, with
30 to 40 petals, broad and heavy, and a high, cone-
shaped, handsome center. It 1s richly, gloriously
fragrant. The plant is vigorous, and tends to throw
some extra-tall blooming canes without much regard
for symmetry, at times. Good, disease-resistant
foliage. Those who have been testing It report
SS that it is unusually resistant to black-
> spot and mildew. A truly thrilling new
Rose. $2.50 ea.; 3
or more, $2.20 ea.

“lo Our Customers:

There is a joke going the rounds, to the effect that nurserymen unconditionally
guarantee that their plants contain chlorophyl! That’s for sure, as the saying goes.
Our Star Rose guarantee is just as sure, and is equally as much a basic part of the pro-
duct. It isn’t our guarantee that makes the Roses bloom, but the living vitality of the
plants that permits us to make that guarantee. We do not have to charge extra-high
prices to cover replacements, as our percentage of such has always been low. We
know we can trust our customers to take proper care of the plants they receive, and our
customers know they can trust the plants we ship.

All old American businesses have been built on such mutual trust. When it came to
guaranteeing Rose plants to bloom, however, that was going far beyond the usual trade
practice, back in 1907, when this firm first started the idea. A living, perishable plant
is not like a piece of hardware or manufactured goods, but is dependent on intelligent
care at all stages. Many predicted that such a guarantee would mean bankruptcy, and
some other growers still groan that it makes competition far too difficult. We maintain,
however, that when a person buys a Rose plant, he should have BLOOMS, or his money
back. We fully intend to give you, our customers, the best value you can get for your
money, anywhere.

Traveling about, last fall, seeing some home yards bright with flowers, and some
bleak, without them, I realized anew what a pity it is that any home should lack the fall
brilliance of Chrysanthemums. They are so easy to grow. They are inexpensive, and
each plant can yield additional plants the following year, with very little care.

If you know of someone who could have the joy of growing Roses or Chrysanthe-
mums, but so far lacks that pleasure, we will send him or her a copy of this catalog on
your request, as long as the supply holds out. New home owners, especially, often ap-
preciate such favors. Their future enjoyment of gardening often depends on the quality
of their plants, and that may often depend on the advice of you more experienced
gardeners.

With best wishes for a fine garden season,

Sincerely,

STAR ROSES
West Grove, Pa.

The Conard-Pyle Co. President

ytids te Better Roses

To Help You Get More Blooms

From Every Rose Plant

We want our Star Rose plants to give maximum satisfaction. To that end, we offer our own
brand of supplies. Only well-tested ingredients are used, in proportions we know you can trust.
Newer substances are included only after their worth is proved. We do not
think our customers should be asked to do the experimenting.

The choice between dust and spray depends on which method you prefer.
Both are effective. (See next page for analysis of each method.)

* STAR ROSE DUST

This dust was developed to give the widest practical protection per
each application at the lowest possible cost. A very thin coating is best,
so it is economical to use. Safe for use on plants all season. We use it
In our own fields and we know it works. Contains DDT, rotenone,
Fermate and sulphur in proportions to protect your plants against most
insects and diseases. Lb. 95c; 4 Ibs. $3.35; 25-lb. can, $14, ppd.

OFFER 41: 1 Hudson Admiral Duster (see next page) and 4 lbs.

OFFER 41A: 1 Roto-Power Duster (see next page) and 25 lbs.
Star Rose Dust, for larger gardens, ppd......... $33.50

* STAR ROSE SPRAY

For those who prefer spraying to dusting, this spray mixture is made to give the widest
possible protection at each application. It spreads evenly and stays on the plant, is safe
for plants all season and is effective as a thin coating. All this gives real economy with
efficient protection for your Roses. 1 lb. makes 16 gals. of spray. Contains DDT, Ferbam,
Lindane and sulphur. Lb. $2.15; 4 Ibs. $7.75, ppd.

OFFER 41B: 1 Critic Sprayer (see next page) and 1 lb. Star Rose

SPEAY, PPG se ake esl iene eee yen eae $3.85
OFFER 41C: 1 Booster Sprayer (see next page) and 4 lbs. Star
Rose Spray, for large gardens, ppd............. $15.25

* STAR ROSE FERTILIZER

This is an extra high quality, balanced fertilizer; not cheap but well
worth its cost. We were aiming for the best in developing this formula.
Two years of use have proved that it is even better than we hoped. It
contains organic as well as inorganic material, available nitrogen,
phosphorus and potash in 7-7-7 analysis and also important minor
minerals. Use it in making a Rose bed and for regular feeding after the
first year of planting. It is better than any of the older all-chemical fertilizers for Roses,
Mums and other flowers, for lawns, vegetable gardens and wherever a balanced fertilizer
is needed. 5 lbs. $1.25; 10 Ibs. $2.25; 25 Ibs. $3.95, ppd.

* STAR ROSE GROW

To “SPEED-FEED” Your Roses and Other Plants

This fully soluble fertilizer is instantly available for plants and so is
quicker acting than other types. Valuable for quick feeding of plants in
need of nourishment and as a starter solution for transplanting. This
is also the fertilizer to use for leaf feeding of Roses, a new method from
which some remarkable results have been reported, especially for old,
starved plants. Nitrogen 15%, available phosphoric acid 30%, potash
15%. 3 tbs. make 1 gal. of solution. Lb. $1.10, ppd.

Supers New Ploribuuda Koses

FOR YOUR GARDEN

Floribunda Roses are a fairly recent invention,
started as a cross between Hybrid Teas and small-
flowered cluster Roses called Polyanthas or “baby
ramblers.’’ These Floribundas proved to be hardy,
easy to grow and, best of all, super-abundant in quan-
tity of bloom, from spring to frost. Now, by crossing
Floribundas with other Hybrid Teas, hybridizers have
recently been able to make amazing strides toward
adding more fine colors and different types of blooms,
increasing the fragrance, and the new varieties seem
to give even more bloom than the old!

Here are two new ones that were introduced last
year that are especially outstanding. In fact, these two
are going to be hard to improve on, because they have
just about everything that is wanted most.

* POULSEN’S BEDDER. This ts the finest new pink
Floribunda of them all. Very free flowering, it has
masses of big, lightly ruffled blooms of clear, rich,
clean pink, from bud to fully open blooms. The open
flowers get lighter as they age, but they always keep
that appealing look of bright, gay, young freshness,
never grayed or dingy-looking. T hey are also wonder-
fully long lasting, even in midsummer heat. The hardy
plants are strong, upright and even in growth, about
3 feet tall and sturdily resistant to disease. $1.50 €a.5
3 or more, $1.30 ea.; 25 or more, $1.20 ea.

* VOGUE. Plant Pat. 926. This is the 1952 Floribunda

All-America award winner and a popular new
AA color: a_rich coral-rose. It is a sister of the

famous Fashion Rose and shows It in its coral
coloring, but Vogue is a deeper and bolder shade, with
more red in it. Blooms are also more double, beauti-
fully formed, unusually fragrant and on a splendid
plant. $2.25 ea.; 3 or more, $2 ea.; 25 or more,
$1.80 ea.

* Poulsen’s Bedder

Floribunda Roses are happy flowers: a gardener’s dream plant
for almost any spot. They bloom in clusters, a whole bouquet on
every stem, artfully arranged by Nature to make a most effective
show. Long lasting on the bush or as cut flowers, they are showy
from a considerable distance and charming at close range.

Why Not Try Floribunda Roses?

There are a number of overworked shrubs that
are used monotonously across the fronts of houses,
along paths, for hedges along the streets. Why not y
try Floribundas around your house? They are /
different; they now come In a wonderful range of
colors, and they bloom from late spring to freezing
weather. What other hardy plant can give you so
much color for so long a time?

Plant them where they can be seen from
your windows or from the street. Plant them
in front of non-spreading shrubs or ever-
greens, with perennials, or other Roses.
They are best in groups and are plants that
no garden should lack.

EVERBLOOMING SHRUB ROSES

flowered plants of infinite beauty and usefulness, for accent
plants, hedges, or in mass plantings.

TO HIGHLIGHT YOUR GARDEN

For vivid garden pictures, plant Delphiniums
For the best Delphiniums you ever saw, plant these Star quality pot plants of

HYBRID DELPHINIUMS

Nothing can surpass the stately splendor of Del-
phiniums in a garden, when in bloom in June and again
in September. No other flower can equal its striking
form or its richly satisfying range of colors. Delphin-
iums have a noble dignity that is all their own. Their
great blue spires give contrast of both form and color
to most other garden plants and so add interest to
the whole design.

Over the years, more and more of our customers
have found that the way to have impressive Delphin-
iums is to start with our young pot plants. Small young
plants, in our experience, will transplant better in
spring than large clumps and will live and bloom longer
after planting, with better flowers. We can also pro-
duce them at less cost than for older clumps and so
give you a better value at a lower price.

Planted in April or May, these young plants will
bloom in late summer and autumn and be at their
best the following June when their finest spikes should
be produced. If cut back afterward, they flower again
in late summer and fall. We have set out thousands of
these small plants with such splendid results that we
do not hesitate to recommend them to you.

For an especially delightful garden picture, try plant-
ing groups of Regal and Speciosum Lilies in front of a
wide planting of these Delphiniums.

NOTE: Because we have kept the price low, we
cannot supply these Delphinium plants in quantities
of less than 6 to an order, or 3 of the Astolat. At these
low prices, however, you can afford to plant them in
quantity and have a real Delphinium show right in
your own garden.

DELPHINIUM CULTURE: Plant in deeply spaded,
fertile garden soil in a well-drained, sunny location.
Set the crown of the plant level with the surface of the
bed and do not use manure where it will touch the
roots; lime well mixed with the soil is usually beneficial.
Space all these hybrids at least 18 inches apart.

HYBRID DELPHINIUMS

6 for $1.75; 12 for $2.95; 25 for $5.75, postpaid

Here are the strains of hybrids that we have found
to be the most outstanding. All these give magnificent
blooms, with spikes of flowers often 4 to 5 feet high or
even more. We are now offering Pacific Hybrids in
separate color series so, if you wish, you can select
your own proportions of the various colors that you wish
to grow.

If you have grown Star quality hybrid Delphiniums,
you already know how fine they are. If you have never
grown them, we suggest you try them this year.

Napoleon III

NAPOLEON III. Here is a plant that
was almost lost to the world until,
fortunately, a Scotch nurseryman
rediscovered it. Robert Pyle, on
one of his last trips to Europe, saw
it in Scotland and brought back a
plant of it for propagation and testing
in America. We owe those alert
plantsmen deep thanks for restoring
this jewel to our gardens.

It is a brilliant ruby-red, a rich
and vivid color. The stocky plants
spread well, to make clumps 12 to
15 inches across, by the second year.
The very fragrant, fiery red blooms
come on sturdy, upright, 12 to 15-
inch stems. It’s a fine cut-flower,
and if kept cut, will bloom all sum-
mer. 75c ea.; 3 for $1.95. Ge
