HATS OFF

tHe CHARMING SPANISH BEAUTY
é *M mre. Gregoire Staechelin!

T IS an actual fact that one of America’s best-informed Rose-growers
doffed his hat, almost reverently, when he first saw. this most gorgeous
of all climbing Roses in full bloom at our/Rose-Gardens. Everywhere
this climber has made an instant appeal. In three years-it has be-
come a universal favorite. - €
The reasons for such popularity are plain, onée this climber has*been seen in>
flower. Its color is unmatched by any other Rose*<WkKen,the sepals of the long-
pointed buds begin to divide, the first color is a deep maroon which will lea¥e an
indelible imprint to the last, but as the bud develops into the rare and graceful tirn
shape, that maroon stripe begins to “‘run’”’ into a graduated carmine, paling somewhat
as the bloom expands into a Jarge, semi-double cup with a “‘schoolSgirl-¢omplexitn”’
tint. The hardiness of this Rose has been proved by six consecuthe Winters at ~
West Grove, where zero weather is almost an annual occurrence. Plants,sufwive
cold New England winters without dying back, and for this reason we recontaeid
this Spanish beauty for northern gardens. It is one of the earliest'to bloom. ~
Unlike rambler Roses, Mme. Gregoire Staechelin bears 3 to 5 large-blooms on
each stem 12 to 15 inches Iong, which makes it excellent for cutting. A
The supreme honor of Rosedom, “The Gold Medal of Bagatelle,” was awarded
this magnificent climbing Rose on June 11, 1927 It was introduced in America
by The Conard-Pyle Co. This is the leader of a new and distinct race of hardy
climbing Roses. Price $2.50 each, 4 for $9.
Use climbing Roses to cover arches, garages, fences, etc. The following
are all large-flowering and leaders in their color classes.

This panorama shows just one of our six 1929 Rose-fields and gives some iden of the quantity we have to grow to meet the demand for Star Roses. The plants had four more months to grow after this photo
was taken, on June 29. Star Roses are selected No. 1 plants

Finest Roses in 33 Years!

OR thirty-three years we have specialized on Roses and

have devoted ourselves wholeheartedly to a study of

producing the very best. We continue to learn lessons
as the years go by, and we are still learning. We spare
no pains and no expense to provide the best skill and best
equipment that are obtainable for this work, and we have
improyed our methods ahead of the average grower. We
prefer to discard a Rosewhich prematurely loses its foliage,
because it is the folia;
defoliation causes malnutrition and its resulting loss of
vitality. A Rose on which the foliage continues green, vig-
orous, and healthy, clear up to the end of the season, is
a Rose whose food-manufacturing part (the foliage) has been
steadily at work and in consequence of which its branches
and roots are robust and full of vigor. Such Roses will
produce a maximum of bloom.

There are Roses on the market handled by middlemen
who may never have seen the plants growing. Their Roses
may look all right to the average observer, but haying had
only half a chance, never haying properly ripened and

that feeds the roots, and summer |

matured their branches, they are devitalized. Such lack
of quality is not apparent to the average buyer.

To be sure that you are getting good Roses you must

largely rely upon the tradesmen from whom you purchase.
[ast autumn, we harvested the very finest crop of
Roses that we've had in our thirty-odd years of experience.
Our plants have been properly fertilized, sprayed, culti-
vated, and kept practically free from black-spot and other
troubles that so often affect and weaken Roses before
they are harvested. The full evidence of this will be most
apparent when your Roses bloom. The durable celluloid
star label on every plant is your insurance certificate of
good results.
With every order we send full cultural directions which
tell simply how the plants should be cared for on arrival,
how they should be planted and cultivated to insure the
most and finest blooms. To get the most dependable
Roses, get the only trade-marked Roses in America. You
run no risk with any Star Rose purchase, for every plant
is guaranteed to bloom or moncy refunded.

EXCLUSIVE STAR *® NOVELTIES FOR 1930

Old-world skill in hybridizmg Roses has produced these exclusive novelties. Each represents the unending patience of Europe’s
best-known Rose specialists. But this is not all, for each year the cream of foreign productions is brought to our Star Test-Gardens
for testing in our climate, and only those few which pass a rigid trial of several years’ duration are offered. Those listed below

bear the Star stamp of absolute approval. All Star Roses, of course, are GUARANTEED TO BLOOM.

*MRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT. H.T. Awarded the coveted Gold Medal
at Bagatelle, France, in 1929. We are exclusive distributors in America of
this Iatest winner at Bagatelle. The “perpetual motion,” golden yellow, per-
fumed Rose that is seldom without buds or blooms from June until frost. It
is one of the deepest colored of all yellow Roses. Foliage extremely disease-
resistant. $5 each.

* LI BURES. Pernet. The “pictorial’? Rose. The buds are maroon lightened
with orange and yellow. Expanded flowers finally assume a velvety purple-
crimson on the outer petals while the center becomes old-rose suffused with
yellow. Distinctly fragrant. (See illustration.) $2.50 each.

*DIRECTOR RUBIO. H.T. The most brilliant pink Rose in our Rose fields
last summer. The bud, borne on a strong stem, is cerise-scarlet, opening to a
very large and double bloom, sweetly scented, of a solid cochineal-pink.
Excellent for bedding or for cut-flowers. $5 each.

* MARI DOT. Pernet. One of the Spanish Roses so much spoken of these
days. The pointed bud is deep apricot, darkened with orange.
It opens slowly to a double, regularly tmbricated bloom of
uniform apricot. The final color is old-rose tint. (See illus-
tration.) $2 each.

* PALOMA FALCO. Pernet.

Sensational novelty
from Spain.

The bud is ovoid, with deep orange-
copper at the base. As the bloom
opens, it reveals a rich copper cen-
ter, toning to a mauve-pink collar-
ette. The whole flower is chockful

“GOLDEN ROSE OF CHINA”

The Loveliest Hedge Plant Known
Requires No Fertilizer—Cares for Itself

E introduced this Rose in the United States and

\\) for years it was grown only as specimen plants.

In our nursery rows, where we had 40,000 growing,
it made such a remarkable sight that we saw its possibilities
as a unique hedge, exquisite when in bloom and gracefully
beautiful all the time.

It is admirably suited for hedges as it requires no sup-
port, needs no pruning, and the needle-like thorns keep
out undesirable visitors, like cats and dogs.

Hugonis blooms best when planted without manure or
food of any kind except what ts in the soil. Coal-ashes put
in the soil when planting will make the color richer. Just
plant your hedge and leave it to care for itself, as its
ancestors did in the wilds of China, and it will grow and
bloom in an amazing manner, with the long, arching
branches, like fairy wands, covered from the ground to the
tips with golden biossoms.

The flowers come early in May and are followed by
quantities of red hips in July and August. Give your
neighborhood a thrill with a hedge of this “Golden Rose
of China.’ $1 each; 12 for $10.80; 25 for $20. Kies
