(C. Mallerin, 1934.) Plant Patent No. 129. Coppery pink. This winner of the 1932 Bagatelle Gold Medal is one of the loveliest of the new Roses, the flowers reminding us of the beautiful, but hard to grow, Los Angeles. Long-pointed buds of coppery pink, flushed orange, open to 4%-inch flowers of splen- did form, of the same color as the bud een that the orange softens to gold. The petals vary from 20 to 40, and when open they disclose a mass of golden stamens. As the flower ages the color changes to soft satiny pink with attractive tints but does not lose any of its loveliness and is unusually clear and refreshing at all times. Sweet honey-like fragrance. The plants are tall, with good foliage. This ts one of the most free-blooming Roses we grow. Experts judging this Novelty in our fields without ee have shown great enthusiasm. $1.50 each; 3 for

3 T aa L ( Certificate of Merit )
om um American Rose Society = (‘“Peon” by J. de Vink.) Plant Patent applied for. Introduced in America by The Conard-Pyle Co. “‘A red Rose-bud the size of a grain of wheat, a bloom that can open inside a thimble, and a young plant you could cover with a coffee cup’—that, in a “ut-shell,”’? ts Tom Thumb.
One of our friends wished us to name it ‘‘Little Red Riding Hood”? because of the charming color of the little flowers. Another urged that we call it “‘Mickey Mouse’’; to be sure its pea-green leaves are no larger than mouse ears, but stnce famous ‘Tom Thumb was a perfect specimen of manhood in miniature, that name best fits this charming little Rose.
The color of the bud is deep crimson which grows slightly lighter as the bloom opens, and then you discover a bonnie bright eye 1n the heart of each flower, which is formed by a touch of-white at the base of each one of its twelve or fifteen petals.
“Tom Thumb” is as sturdy as he Is little; as hardy as most rugged Roses. Try planting several in your rock-garden, or make a group of them among your perennials or as a border to your pool or to your Rose-bed. Tom Thumb will thrive, will bloom and bloom and bloom all season through, and then come bravely through a winter of many degrees below zero in the open, and be right there to greet you when the tulips bloom.
He even responds to window-sill care, and for cottage, apart- ment, or palace, will win his way as a favorite. Our friends declare that he is a bewitchingly fascinating “Little Prince of a Rose.’ Ideal for children, too.
Pot-plants (ready in April). $1 each; 12 for $10, postpaid.

*Senora Gari
*xSENORA GARI. See illustration. flowers of buff-apricot, a new Rose shade. There is just a hint of a pinkish tint on the petals when the bloom is fully open. It is a true self-color as the inside and the reverse of the petals are of the same [luscious tint. It changes color in different ways: sometimes the outside petals change first, while on other blooms one-half of the flower will change, leaving the other half the original color. The second stage is a Quaker grayish shade in perfect harmony with the buff-apricot, and when all of the petals have made the change, the flower Is as attrac- tive as when first open. An exquisite Rose at every stage. 30 petals and arich, fruity fragrance. $1.50 each.*
*ROUGE MALLERIN. H.T. See ilustra- tion. (C. Mallerin, 1934.) Scarlet. At last we have a new red Rose which does not blue. Pointed buds of brilliant red open to 3 %-inch blooms of glowing scarlet, the deep pile on the petals making them look for all the world like pieces of rich scarlet velvet. If ever a Rose glowed, this one does—a vase of newly opened blooms in a sunny window looks like a vase of flame. As the flower ages, the scarlet softens a little, the fire smoulders, an opalescent sheen overspreads the petals, and we have a new Rose which is different but every bit as beauti- ful as the newly opened bloom of NSS Sie It is a full Rose and a well-built flower with some 40 to 45 perfectly imbricated petals so that when fully open the center is higher than the outer rim. Of course, It is fragrant—fra- grant with that rich old Dam- ask perfume that all red Roses should have. Rouge Mallerin has a real plant, vig- orous and upright, with lovely bronze young foliage which is a healthy green when mature, and the plants are very free with their wonderful flowers, even in the really trying days of midsummer. We think a lot of this Rose. Gold Medal, Saverne, 1932; Fourth Certificate, Lyon, 1934: First-Class Certificate, ; Si Haywards Heath, 1934. $2 each.*

1936 Star Novelties
Amazing progress is being made these years by Rose hybridizers on both sides of the Atlantic.
Progresstve Rose firms are keen to keep watch for each new sort as It appears. Rose specialists like ourselves often enjoy the advantage of previous observation two or more years In advance of intro- duction. Thus can we the more safely recommend from the many new ones introduced only those we select as worthy to wear the Star.
Over a quarter century ago, we started selling Star Roses under that name—the only branded Roses in all Rosedom. That was our earnest of superior varieties, grown under most careful super- vision and guaranteed to grow and bloom. Since then we have never deviated from our high endeavor.
The Star Brand is for you assurance of obtaining our sturdy, well-rooted, 2-year-old field-grownplants. .

* GOLDEN DAWN. H.T. Pale yellow. This lovely Australian is one of the fin- est garden Roses in existence. Large, globular buds, straw-yellow with old- rose markings, open to high-centered blooms of soft lemon-yellow with 50 to 60 petals. There is some variation in the color and at times we would call it moonlight-yellow. Occasional flowers will be much deeper, really quite golden, and late bloom in cool weather often carries a pink tint; how- ever, they are all distinctly beautiful. The flowers are long lasting and are fragrant with the real Tea scent. The plants are of only medium height but are very bushy, having more spread than
height, and are clothed to the ground with beautiful bronzy foliage which is almost immune to disease, being, we believe, the healthiest of all the Hybrid Teas. It Is a continuous bloomer, producing quantities
of exhibition flowers all season. $1 each.* *GRENOBLE. H.T. Glowing scarlet- crimson. The citizens of Grenoble, France,
thought enough of this red Rose to ask the origina- tor, Charles Mallerin, to name it for their city. “The plant is very vigorous and the blooms come on unusually long stems, making it one of the best garden Roses for cutting. The ues are crimson but the o pen flower is bri li iant red, almost scarlet, and a bed of Grenoble stands out like a fire. It is fully double and of large size. are: r one of the best reds.

*EDITOR McFARLAND. H.T. See illustration. Another year of critical observation of this Rose, added to the favorable comments of visitors to our gardens and Rose-fields, convinces us that this is the finest deep pink garden Rose in the world today. The firm-textured, perfectly formed flowers are pro- duced through all the growing season and are of a clear, brilliant pmk. They come on nice long cutting stems, are fragrant, and as cut-flowers retain treir form and last longer than any Rose we know. The plants are vigorous and have healthy, normal green foliage. We believe that Editor McFarland will soon be the standard by which new pink Roses will be judged. Plant a bed of this superb pink Rose and you will have prize-winning blooms to exhibit at your local flower show and have flowers for cutting
all season until hard frost. First-Class Certificate

THE STAR DOZEN
Races PICKED TO PRODUCE ~“% $9.50
Guaranteed the FINEST BLOOMS at LEAST COST “sto The “STAR DOZEN” has been our prize collection for over a Bloom
quarter century. The first twelve Roses under this name were sent out
in 1909. During the succeeding years, as new and better Roses were
produced by hybridizers all over the world, we eliminated varieties one by one as they were superseded by superior sorts, until now not one of the original ‘‘Dozen”’ is left in this collection. Instead, this 1936 Star Dozen comprises twelve of the sturdiest-growing, healthiest, and most free-blooming of the modern Roses. ‘Ten originated in Europe, one, Golden Dawn, came from Australia, and another, President Herbert Hoover, was produced in the United States and, happily, it is one of the grandest Everblooming Roses ever originated anywhere.
So much for the history of the Star Dozen. Your interest lies in the fact that here are waiting for you 12 Roses that we, with 38 years’ experience, have chosen as the very best 12 varieties available for beauty of flower, for healthiness, hardiness, and freedom of bloom, while at the same time including 3 shades of red, 2 shades of pink, 3 lovely tinted varieties, 3 shades cf yellow, and one splendid white. ~——-—_—_____—___————_ Eight of these are shown in natural colors THE STAR 25 SET and all are fully described in this Catalog.

WA NW /
—
1 APOLLO 2 CERES § 3 MERCURY 4 DIANA 5 MARS 6 DAPHNE
These exquisite, artistic Korean Hybrids have created a furore among lovers of colorful flowers. They bloom so abundantly that quantities can be cut for indoor decoration without apparently reducing the garden display. Blooms come profusely in late September and early October, weeks ahead of hard frost, and make a charming show in the fall garden. They are distinctly different, grow 2 to 21 feet high, and add colors and shades new to Chrysanthemums. Most of them have a delightful sweet fragrance in addition to the pungent Chrysanthemum scent. They furnish that ‘‘something different” so desired for cutting.

Gold Medal, 1935, Barcelona, Spain and Lyon, France. Also scored 88 points at Inter- national Test-Garden, Portland, Oregon.
Yellow. One of the most beautiful Roses we have ever seen. Creamy buds, heavily marked with carmine, slowly open to spiral flowers of rich yellow, growing lighter toward the edges, with the edges lightly flushed with pink. The autumn flowers are much darker, being a rich golden yellow shading light- er at the edges, occasional flowers having a decided pink tinge. The outside or first petals are some- times almost pure white, forming a chaste cover- ing for the glorious ex- panding bloom. AI- though fully double, with 80 to 100 tissue- like petals, it has opened perfectly 1m all kinds of weather. Tall, bushy plants bloom continuously from June until frost, with the heaviest bloom and most _ beautiful flowers In early autumn. De- lightfully fragrant. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75.
