THE BEST PLANTS OF

% CONFIDENCE. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat.
1192. This is the loveliest of pastel Roses. It is a
delicious blend of fresh peach tce cream colors: yel-
low, white and peach-pink melting one into the other.
Its form is also notable, with long, streamlined buds
opening to great trumpets of bloom. 28 to 38 petals;
opening buds 2 to 3 inches long and full blooms up to
6 inches or more across. Richly fragrant.

Confidence has a good, sound plant; upright, but
stoutly broad and well branched, 3 to 4 feet tall, with
many shoots, producing a lot of rebloom quickly.
It won both Bagatelle and “‘Most Beautiful Rose of
France”? awards, the second Rose ever to take both
honors. $2 ea.; 3 or more, $1.75 ea.

“THE LOVELIEST FLOWER THAT GROWS”

Peace is the greatest gatherer of medals and top
awards of any flower in history, we believe. In the
Jatest rating of the American Rose Society, it tops
all other widely grown Roses by a full 5 percentage
points. Yet the highest praise ever given to a Rose
was given, oddly enough, by one group of flower show
judges who decided it should NOT be “Queen of the
Show”’ one year because, they said, “Anybody can grow
beautiful blooms like that, with PEACE!’ It is true.
Peace does well everywhere and gives its full loveliness
to the beginner as well as to the expert Rose grower.
_ Peace ts “The miracle golden Rose with a sunset in
Its heart,” as one ARS member wrote of it. Peace
blooms are the most long lasting of all Hybrid Tea
Roses. The buds are golden, with a flash of pink along
the petal edges. They open very slowly to joyously
big blooms of yellow, pale gold, cream and ivory
with a varying flush of pink on the edges of the lightly
ruffled petals. Peace Roses vary in color from day to
day and from flower to flower but are always beautiful,
always with that other-world Iook of delicacy and
dewy freshness.

Peace is a gardener’s Rose. Only those who can
watch its glory change and grow from day to day can
fully enjoy its full enchantment. They can appreciate
best the way those magnificently long, strong stems
lift the proud blooms above its wealth of shining, hand-
some foliage. The sparkling freshness and ever-chang-
ing beauty of the flowers bring a lift to the spirits of
almost all who see it. Peace is the one Rose no gar-
dener, anywhere, should be without, and the Rose to
plant in quantity tf space permits. It will reward you.
$2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.

FRONT COVER ROSE

% LOVE SONG. H.T. (Fisher.) Plant Pat.
1360. This ts our first American-bred offspring of
Peace, and a worthy daughter it is! It is an excit-
ing big Rose, a great, glowing beauty of radiant,
rich, salmon-pink, with brilliant yellow on the
lower third of the petals and a lighter yellow re-
verse. Even the unopened buds are big and fat,
sharply pointed as they break into their first
color—deep gold edged with a dark coppery rose.
The pointed centers elongate as the buds develop
and become more urn-shaped, usually, as the first
petals slowly unfold. At this stage, they are yel-
low and a deep, coppery salmon-pink. The colors
do not fade as the blooms open, but rather appear
to become richer as they show more and more of
the brilliant, shinmg salmon-pink. As with its
parent, Peace, the full blooms are a glory.

The plant also resembles that of Peace, sturdy,
well-foliaged, with never a weak neck. Blooms
come freely, have 35 to 55 petals, and are sweetly
fragrant. $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.

* GRAND’MERE JENNY. H.T. Plant Pat. 1148. This
dainty charmer is our newest Rose from Francis Meilland, the
originator of PEACE. It is an enchanting variety and already
the winner of two national gold medals, in France and in England.
The coloring is all in tints of carmine- pink and gold, as lovely as
the dawn. The buds are usually very richly colored, while the
exquisite opening blooms show a wide spread of delectable, soft
pink melting into yellow. Full blooms average 4 to 44% inches,
with 25 to 30 petals.

Grand’mere Jenny plants are upright, well branched, disease
resistant, of medium height, and notable for the amount of
bloom continually produced. The flowers have a sweet Tea
fragrance that exactly suits their light, airy, delicate grace.

* CHRYSLER IMPERIAL. H.T.

(Lammerts.) Plant Pat. 1167. This
ee is one of the great, modern, dark red

Roses. In fragrance alone, It Is
something special. So is it in form, in
size, and the strength of its stems.
With all these virtues combined, plus a
good, vigorous, disease-resistant plant,
we count this one of the best All-
America Roses to date. It withstands
hot weather wonderfully well. The big,
40 to 50-petaled blooms always open
perfectly, are long lasting and of superior
exhibition form.

The plant is even in growth, well
branched, upright, well foliaged and
of medium height, excellent for front-row
planting. Blooms come one to a stem
and in constant succession. If you like
dark red Roses, this is one you should
have. It is also very popular, so we
especially recommend it for fall planting,
while it is in good supply. $2.50 ea.;
3 or more, $2.20 ea.

*DR. DEBAT. H.T. (Meilland.)
Plant Pat. 961. This ts a handsome, new
big pink Rose of show type. It has large,
long, beautifully formed buds of smooth,
rich pink with a salmon glow. The high
centered opening blooms are a true, fresh,
even pink, becoming big (5 to 6-tnch),
ruffled blooms, wonderfully firm tex-
tured, with about 30 huge, broad, very
heavy petals. This new Rose is a seedling
of the famous and much-loved Radiance,
and it fortunately has inherited great
strength, vigor, disease resistance and .
freedom of bloom from its parent, along . oe

with its own much improved size and |
form of flower and bud. $2 ea.; 3 or |
more, $1.75 ea.

%*SUZON LOTTHE. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant
Pat. 934. A Rose of great beauty, with the same |
sort of charm as a pink camellia. The peach-
* Miami colored buds hold their high, peach-colored |
centers while row after row of outer petals roll |
slowly open to show their tints of pearl-pink |
flushed with deeper pink on the outer edges of the |
petals, becoming pearly white where another |
petal overlaps. Form of bud and bloom is |
superior, with the sheen and smooth texture as
well as the coloring of real pearls. Blooms are |
admirably long lasting, almost as much so as |
Peace, a a heavenly fragrance that Is espe- |
cially remarkable in a pastel Rose. Plants are
vigorous, with heavy canes and strong stems,
splendid for cutting. Large, heavy, disease-
resistant foliage. It is a pearl of a Rose and
very popular. $2 ea.; 2 or more, $1.75 ea.

* MIAMI. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 977.
This is one of the most dramatically beautiful
of all Roses, with gloriously different and the
most striking colors of any variety.
Its form, in both bud and bloom, is
an added thrill. The buds are very
long, of coppery coral-red. Opening
blooms, with 25 to 35 exceedingly |
heavy petals, show a lavish splash
of unusual colors. The long, sharply
cone-shaped center 1s flamingo, or
coppery coral-red. Around it, the
heavy outer petals roll back, of
brilliant, rich old-gold marked with
orange-buff and salmon- orange.

It is breath-taking. But it “deserves and needs
good care, and if you are seeking the greatest
quantity of blooms per plant, you will probably
do better to choose some other varieties. If you
want to add the luxury of something extra-
special and dramatic, however, you certainly
should include Miami. $2 ea.; 3 or more,

Blanche Mallerin was introduced

without any fanfare whatever and has
made its own way to become the most

In fact, we had not supposed

Te Our Customers:

About our Roses, elsewhere in this catalog are these words: ‘‘No millionaire in the world
can have any better!’”’ This is a rather remarkable fact, when you come to think about it.
Because, for most material things that people treasure, the best is expensive. By and large,
this is especially true of beautiful things that add to the grace of living. Yet here are Roses,
the most widely treasured flowers of all, in the best plants that money can buy, ranging from
$1 each for Miniatures to a $2.75 top for this year’s newest and highest priced big Star Rose.

Yet I doubt if this unique economic fact about Roses has very much bearing on the great
popularity of Rose gardening as a hobby and a sport. Roses and Rose-growing have too many
other and even greater attractions. A wealthy visitor here, who said he had “‘given up horses
for Roses,”’ was not impelled to the change by economic considerations. Rose-growing has a
vast number of different attractions for different people. Some enjoy it as a challenge and a
competition; others have found it a soothing cure for tensions and troubles of mind and body.
There are as many ways to enjoy Roses as there are different varieties to be enjoyed.

For a beginning gardener, as well as an experienced one, Roses have a host of advantages.
There is no long waiting period, to have Roses blooming in your yard. You can start a Rose
bed this fall and those plants will bloom next spring, right along with your neighbor’s bushes
that may have been there for years. To have fine lawns, big trees and bloom-filled shrubs
usually takes years of cultivation. But your new Star Rose bushes that you get this fall, properly
planted and cared for, will be blooming like veterans and looking like mature plants before the
end of their first year in your garden. The following spring, Climbing Roses ordered now will
add their bloom and height, ready to cover a trellis, fence, or other support. You can get a
finished garden effect and all-season bloom more quickly and easily with Roses than you can
with any other kind of plant.

In that ‘‘all-season bloom”’ lies what is probably the greatest advantage of modern bush
Roses. Even a tiny garden, full of Roses, can give glorious color and fragrance from late spring
to freezing weather. If you have never counted the annual crop of blooms from a group of well-
grown Rose plants, you should do it some year. They add up to an astonishing total.

The newer Roses this year seem to be an exceptionally fine lot. Personally, I am especially
fond of Love Song, Sun King, Red Wonder, Tiffany and Queen Elizabeth. Circus, Spartan
and Montezuma also have much to offer, and many other people will no doubt prefer them.
In Roses, there are splendid varieties to suit all tastes.

I spent six weeks in Europe this year, searching for still newer fine kinds. Hybridizers there
are doing much interesting work and we shall have a big job, testing their best for American
growing conditions. We intend to make sure that our Star Rose customers will always have the
best there is; and that ‘“‘No millionaire in the world can have any better!”’

With all best wishes,
Sincerely

THE CONARD-PYLE CO.

FALL PLANTING

We recommend fall planting of Roses: in late
October for northern states, from November until the
ground freezes, farther south. In fall, the earth is
mellow and right for planting. Put a mound of soil
up around the stems after planting and the Roses will
be ready to grow when spring comes.

MAIL-ORDER shipments will be made at proper
time for planting in your locality. Dormant Roses can

-be planted until just before the ground freezes for the

winter.

NOTE: Rose plants may be picked up at the nursery
AFTER NOVEMBER 1, but not before that date.

The Newest Thing in Roses

This new class of Roses is a tremendously free-blooming group,
with flowers shaped like those of the aristocratic Hybrid Teas and
almost as large, often produced in long-stemmed clusters, giving a
whole bouquet to each main stem. The plants are extremely vigorous.
They are a superb type for tall hedges, or a shrub border, or for backing
up other lower-growing Roses. Groups
of them along a fence or garage
would make a particularly handsome
planting, since they bloom with
exuberant abundance all season
long, from late spring to heavy frost.
They shine in all departments: for
garden show, as cut flowers, for
boutonnieres and corsage use.

It is the habit of Floribunda Roses to bloom long and
freely, often giving more than 30 blooms and buds to a
single spray. For quantity of bright, pretty blooms in your
garden all summer and fall, there are no plants to equal
Floribunda Roses. Try planting them in groups; where
one plant is good, three of a kind are even better.

* CIRCUS. Plant Pat. 1382. As highly colored as a
postcard sunset. Buds show tones of yellow, red, pink
and orange, and open to even brighter hues with yellow
predominating and bright, deep pink staining the
edges of the outer petals. These opening blooms are
large for a Floribunda and of exquisite form. As the
flowers open further they show more and more of the
bright, rich pink, with equally bright yellow at the
center. Full blooms are 3 to 3% inches across, with
25 to 40 neat, firm petals. The foliage is beautiful:
rich green and just right in amount and size for the
bush and blooms. Plants are upright, compact, 214
feet high. $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, $2.20 ea.; 25 or more,

*JIMINY CRICKET. Plant Pat. 1346. This AII-
America winner is one of the best. Its urn-shaped,
tangerine-red buds are especially lovely. As they open,
the color becomes a blend of orange and vermuilton,
softening later to a good, compatible coral-pink.

which drop off cleanly as they fade. Splendid, free-

BEAUTIFUL HARDY

All these climbers are large-flowered kinds that give a
glorious display and countless cut-flowers, needing little

zero), very free blooming in spring and with that in-

canes).

EVERBLOOMING CLIMBERS
for Mild Climates

Climbing Hybrid Teas and Climbing Floribundas are

EVERBLOOMING
SHRUB ROSE

* THE FAIRY. This unique Rose gives us the
world’s most valuable ornamental plant for many
uses. It gives hundreds of flowers at a time, keeps
blooming from June to freezing weather and thrives
with less care than any cultivated plant we know of.
Its growth is so dense that 1t even does Its own weed-
ing In its spot! Anyone can grow The Fairy, any-
where—and will love it.

The small, sweet seashell-pink Roses come in big
sprays continually. The plant growth is very thick
and bushy, densely branching and densely covered
with small, shining, pretty foliage right down to the
ground, as pretty as boxwood and needs no spraying.
It will grow to 4 feet in height and just as broad, or
can be kept lower if pruned low each spring. It is
superb as an ever-ilowering accent plant, on either
side of a walk or doorway, under a window, or else-
where. It is equally superb for a border planting,
either alone or with other shrubs. As a neat, ever-
blooming, dog-proof hedge or “living fence’’ it Is
unequaled. $1.50 ea.; 3 to 11, $1.30 ea.; 12 or more,
$1.20 ea.

famous as a handsome ground-cover for sunny banks,
etc. $1.50 ea.; 3 to 11, $1.30 ea.; 12 or more,
$1.20 ea.

ROSES FOR “LIVING FENCES”

For high “living fences”? use Climbing Roses on
strands of wire. Fora broad “fence” of medium height
use The Fairy; for a narrower planting, everblooming
Floribundas are ideal. A border of Peace Roses is
outstanding. These “Irving fences” are easy to put in
place, pleasant to view from both sides, will supply
abundant flowers and will not outgrow their welcome.

HYBRID PERPETUAL
ROSES

These are ‘‘Old Roses,’’ the forerunners of the modern
Hybrid Teas, with big blooms and big, bushy, very hardy
plants. They can be grown in the colder climates without
protection and both these varieties are worthy of a
garden place anywhere. Healthy, vigorous, undemand-
ing and beautiful, they bloom abundantly in spring and
repeat, though not as freely as the Hybrid Teas. Main
stems can be trained somewhat horizontally to increase
the amount of bloom, and they are very handsome that way.
