Leading winner at Rose Shows all over America ever since its introduction. The American Rose Society has printed pages and pages of comments on Peace, sent to the Society by members from all over America. We quote a few of these comments (and since the national rating of Peace, based on these reports, is 9.5 out of a possible 10, you can see that all the pages of comments had to be almost solidly of such high pratse). “Tf I were limited to one Rose, I should choose Peace.’ “‘Exquisite In every stage.” “No complaints. Wonder if we. will ever find anything wrong with it.’ ‘The blue ribbons this Rose has won across the country are comments enough.” ‘‘Wonderful! Su- perb! Colossal!’ “Best Rose I have seen in 58 years of Rose growing!’ ‘“Most beautiful flower that grows.” ‘““Too beautiful to be true. It has no faults.’’ ‘““This Rose needs no comments. There are none to compare.” If you have never lived with this Rose, the excitement over it must seem ex- aggerated. It has to be seen, as the pic- tures do not do it justice and there ts no other Rose like it. Only those who grow it can fully enjoy its full enchantment, for it changes from day to day in glorious variety. $2 ea.; 3 for $5. AAYRS (Mme. A. Meilland) Plant Pat. 591 THE QUEEN OF ROSES Blue Ribbon Winner for Expert or Beginner Peace is a sunset caught in a Rose. Peace is a joy to the eye and a lift to the heart. Peace is the one Rose you should have, if you can grow but one; and the one Rose you should have a [ot of, if your space per- mits. It will reward you. Peace Roses vary in color from day to day and from flower to flower but are al- ways beautiful. The buds are golden with a flash of pink along the petal edges. They open very slowly, giving long-lasting blooms that show delicate tints of yellow, pale gold, cream and tvory with a varying flush of pink on the edges of the lightly ruffled petals. Though the very double bloom is huge, it has delicacy and a fresh loveliness even in the fully open flower, which is as beautiful as the opening bud and even more exciting. Its lasting qualities are a new high in Roses. The final miracle of Peace is that the plant is as remarkable as the blooms, with long, straight, magnificently strong stems and handsome, shining, dark green foliage. We d know of no other one Rose that has brought © so much delight to so many different people. CoP. Considering differences in taste, it is amaz- ing that any one Rose should be so uni- versally admired. Yet if you grow it tn your garden, you can see the reason why. The gal- lant way those mighty stems lift the proud blooms endears it to tke heart of any gardener. To see these Roses in your own girden on a quiet summer evening is to know pure beauty and a sense of peace. Photo by California Nursery Co. co. Blanche Mallerin + BLANCHE MALLERIN. H.T. (\iallerin.

All-America Winner, for 1950 ~ ee V ‘ January 1, 1951 Wews Letter to Our Star Rose Friends: Never were Star Roses more popular nor were more of them sold than in the year just past. We believe the increasing demand is due in large measure to the high stand- ard of quality and the reliable service that we are known to provide from our head- quarters here at West Grove. There are many, many people who are like the caretaker at the Rose Garden of Dumbarton Oaks, where, ahead of the San Francisco Conference, was carved out the pattern for the United Nations. A recent visitor there reported to us that on a tour of historic Washington, when admiring the Rose Garden at Dumbarton Oaks, he asked, ‘‘Where do you get your plants??? The answer was ‘‘There is just one place in the U. S. A. to get Roses and that is Star Roses at West Grove, Pennsylvania.” Preparation of this catalog and the growing and caring for the Star Rose plants to be sent to you who order from us, has kept some of us solidly on the job. The business of growing good Roses is as demanding as keeping a big dairy. Roses, too, demand constant, steady and devoted attention on the part of those charged with producing the plants of Star Rose quality. When the chance comes, we visit other growers and testing stations, compare their techniques with our own, and adopt improvements when found. This year, for example, scientists on our Rose testing grounds experimented with a new technique for feeding plants through the foliage by the application of plant foods in solution sprayed on the leaves, for absorption through their stomata. All this, to be sure, like other advanced ideas in the science of plant growth, is still in the experimental stage. Another front-line pioneer practice of ours which we steadily maintain is to know the new Roses long before they come on the market. This means travel over two con- tinents. From my twelve-thousand-mile trip through nine nations of Europe last summer for new varieties, I can assure you I did not come home empty-handed. PEACE is not the last but rather the first of the newer, finer types of Roses. I traveled to find and bring home for testing more of the better sorts. How fruitful are these annual trips to Europe may be judged by the 1951 introductions in this catalog. (See outside cover pages and page 2.) Here you will see good, new com- panions for PEACE. You will be able to win blue ribbons with them; they have what it takes and after a trial, we are sure you will share with us our enthusiasm for them. In another way 1950 has been a record year—that is, in the number of visitors to Star Rose Gardens. First in mid-July came our Rose-producing friends, many from the Pacific Coast, to visit us before and after the Nurserymen’s Convention in Washing- ton, D.C. Even California growers were amazed at the large size of our plants! Then on October 4 we enjoyed entertaining a post-convention tour of 200 members of the American Rose Society from all over the nation. Between the two events came Red Rose Rent Day (September 9) with 700 of our guests including the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania, as co-hosts and guests. All witnessed the payment of the Rent of the Red Rose HAPPINESS to a tenth-generation descendant of William Penn. These and many others, in the days and weeks between, stopped at Red Rose Inn as headquarters for a meal or more and reveled in the acres and acres of Star Roses, showing their colors for all the world like a mammoth waving flag, because our undu- lating land takes well to contour planting, revealing wave on wave of glorious color. So you see we have the advantage of growing Star Roses right here at West Grove. Not all nurserymen are so fortunate. We show our colors to all who come. Thus you may see the varieties you will get when you are ready to order from our catalogs. Most of our Roses are dug here in the West Grove area, though the demand has increased to compel supplementing this supply with a few carefully chosen from growers whose crops we personally inspect. We invite you to come whenever you can, but meanwhile, do order your Roses early. Later comers are almost bound to be disappointed, as Roses will be in short supply. THE CONARD-PYLE CO.

Star Rose Growers * thou: | hearer WEST GROVE, PA. President ptides to Getter Koves You can get more and better blooms from your Roses by keeping the plants free of destructive insects and diseases. This can be accomplished by a reasonably simple pro- gram of regular care. The aim is to prevent attack, rather than to cure. The easiest way to do this is by timely, regular use of a multi-purpose dust or spray; each application protects the plants from all the common insects and diseases likely to attack Roses. The idea is to keep the leaves covered, top and underside, with a thin coating of protec- tive material. Start spraying or dusting as soon as the leaves appear in spring and renew it promptly after rain. If there are long dry spells, new growth will need additional treat- ment, but the worst enemy of Roses, blackspot, attacks only in the presence of moisture. The new fungicides, applied promptly after rain, give excellent protection against this disease. Since healthy Rose plants bloom continuously from spring to fall, they well repay this care. The materials listed below, applied with the efficient tools listed on the next page, make nit routine care a relatively simple matter, especially after you become accustomed ‘0 doing it. * STAR ROSE DUST We have felt that our customers should have a better dust and spray, which would give better control of most insects and diseases at less cost than heretofore. So we have been developing our own Star Rose brands, with formulas based on the latest information and research on Rose care. We now have a new Star Rose Dust that contains DDT, rotenone, Fermate and sulphur in proper proportions to protect your plants well against most insects and diseases. Star Rose Dust has been developed to give the widest possible protection per single application, to be economical to use (the thinnest possible coating is the best with this dust), to be safe for use on plants all season, and to do all this at the lowest possible cost.

Better for Roses than the older all-chemical fertilizers. A 5-lb. bag will ordinarily supply enough fertilizer for two applications over 100 sq. ft. of Rose bed. Three applications at monthly intervals are usually enough for established Roses. (For the first year, no fertilizer is needed in a well-prepared bed.)

Rose Index, Page 38 THE CONARD-PYLE CO. 5 00 tides to Easter Gardeutug CRITIC HUDSON SPRAYER HUDSON ADMIRAL DUSTER This is an excellent, inexpensive hand dust gun, well built, easy to work and efficient. It has a built-in scoop on the large filler cap for easy filling. Short, light strokes give a uniform cloud of dust, and the long extension tube helps put it where you want it. A swivel nozzle permits dusting in any direction. Extra-large. self-lubricated plunger gives powerful pressure with little effort. The specially constructed air-chamber forces air through the dust to give thorough mixing and aeration. Made of extra-heavy tin- plate, with seamless tube. $2.15, ppd. Dusting your Rose plants is a quick and easy way to keep them healthy. Dust can be applied soon after a rain, even before the foliage is fully dry. This prompt action gives the best protection against blackspot, since this disease develops in the presence of moisture and infection can start in about 6 or 8 hours, even though the resulting spots do not become visible until weeks later. Also, dusters do not have to be emptied and cleaned after using. Any left-over dust in the powder chamber can safely remain there all ready for use the next time it’s needed. NEW HUDSON ROTO-POWER DUSTER If you have more than 50 Rose plants, this duster will repay you in service. For a job that has to be done repeatedly, really good equipment is the greatest comfort. Also, it lasts so much longer that it is true economy in the end. This Roto-Power Duster is a lifetime investment. With its double nozzles, it does the work in half the time. Its feed regulator gives you positive control over the volume of discharge and permits complete, uniform coverage. This is a great economy in dusting, since a very thin, even coat gives best control of disease and is best for the plants. (A heavy coating is simply wasteful of the material.) Easy filling, easy turning, machine cut gears, permanently lubricated oilite bearings throughout. $22, shipped by express, not prepaid. : An improved small spray gun with a superior type, “2-spray” nozzle of durable brass. Screw cap and syphon tube also of brass and spray jar of glass, impervious to corrosion. Powerful pump; continuous action spray. Wide mouth, easy to fill and clean. Each sprayer factory tested and guaranteed. $2.15, ppd. BOOSTER - COMPRESSION TANK SPRAYER A superior tank sprayer with an efficient pump that builds pressure from the very first stroke. 314-gallon, seam-welded, gal- vanized tank with built-in funnel top. This sprayer has a 3-point cam lock that is the safest and most reliable ever developed, we believe. Brass pump and spray tube; solid brass nozzle with 3 disks for any spray from fog to solid stream. Spraying has certain adyantages over dusting. It is more economical of material, because none blows away, and you can put it just where you want it. This becomes especially valuable if you live in a windy area or if your gardening time is so restricted that the work must be done at a certain time, whether it is calm or not, If you prefer spraying to dusting and have more than a few Roses, this is the equipment to buy. It is a lifetime investment in easier garden- ing. $9 shipped by Express, not prepaid. TRI-OGEN. The All-Purpose Spray Contains Fermate.

No other perennial can equal its striking form or its richly satisfying range of colors. Delphiniums have a noble dignity that is all their own. Their great blue spires give contrast of both form and color to the other garden plants and so improve the whole design.. In their season they can ‘‘make’’ a garden, and it is difficult indeed to make a superior perennial garden without them. For years, our customers have found that the way to have fine Delphiniums is to start with our young pot-plants. Small young plants, in our experience, will transplant better in spring than large clumps. We are, therefore, prepared to supply our own-grown pot-plants at a great saving in cost. Planted in April and May, they 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. At our very low price you can use them in quantity and have a real Delphinium show right in your own garden. Not only do the smaller plants cost less, but they will produce better flowers and live longer than older clumps. We have set out thousands of these small plants with such splendid results that we do not hesitate to recommend them to you. Note: Because we have kept the price low, we cannot supply these young plants in quantities of less than 6 to an order. DELPHINIUM CULTURE. Plant in deeply spaded, fertile garden soil in a well-drained, sunny location. Set the crown of the plant level with the soil and do not use manure where it will touch the roots; lime well mixed with the soil is usually beneficial. Space hybrids at least 18 inches apart. HYBRID DELPHINIUMS 6 for $1.75; 12 for $2.95; 25 for $5.75, postpaid We offer here the strains of hybrids that we have found of out- standing quality. The blooms are magnificent, with spikes of flowers often 4 to 5 feet high and under favorable conditions even more. This year, for the first time, we are offering Pacific Hybrids in separate color series so, if you wish, you can select your own proportions of the various color tints. If you have grown hybrid Delphiniums, you already know how fine they are. If you have never grown them, we suggest you try them. 6 Delphiniums $1 6 GFFER 32.
