President of The Conard & Jones Co. 


Flower-Lovers Everywhere know “West Grove for its Roses.” 


9 WAS in West Grove the Rose Growing Industry had its beginning, and ’tis here, we believe, 
it has reached its highest standard of perfection. It is a pleasure, therefore, to present to 
our patrons a portrait of ‘‘THE PIONEER”’ who helped bring these things to pass. It was 

ALFRED F. CONARD who developed the idea of sending these sturdy ‘‘ own root’’ Roses by mail. 

The people soon got to know this and began ordering them from all parts of the country, so that the 

business grew rapidly. This was the beginning—in 1869. The standing which the Conard & Jones Co. 

now enjoy as leading American Rose Growers, needs no comment. 

To-day—Mr. Conard—ripe in years of experience, happy in the realization of having nelpeds to 
beautify so many thousands of homes in all parts of our country, is still the honored President of our 
company, interested and active in the conduct of its business and helping to maintain that high standard 
of excellence in every department which more than all else makes C. & J. Roses 


‘‘THE BEST ROSES IN AMERICA.” 


Rose Growing Our Specialty 


Goo: 1869 the entire business career of our President (Alfred F. Conard) and Vice-President 


(Antoine Wintzer) has been devoted to the Growing of Roses. They were pioneers in this 
industry and as President and Superintendent respectively of their company, were the first 
to grow, sell and ship ‘‘own root” roses on a large scale. In the intervening years since then 
millions upon millions of sturdy young rose plants have been sent out from West Grove to all parts 
of our country, and it is under the direct supervision of Mr. Wintzer and Mr. Conard that most of 
‘these Roses have been grown and sold. The consequent experience and ability of these two men 
were an excellent asset for the present firm which was organized and incorporated in 1897, under the 
new name of The Conard & Jones Company. Our Treasurer and Secretary, S. Morris Jones and 
Robert Pyle, are responsible business men representing ample capital and well known in this com- 
munity. With an extensive block of new greenhouses provided with all the modern improve- 
ments for heating, ventilating, etc., and with a skilled corps of young men trained under our meth- 
ods, our West Grove Floral Nurseries are now established with facilities unexcelled. 
N R . Prominent hybridizers know that we are on the lookout for New Roses 
Cw OSES © and come to us with their novelties. Mr. Wintzer, our Vice-President, 
has himself developed several, so that we are constantly having new kinds from which we select 
the best for introduction. Thus, during ‘the past five years we have brought out the following 
which have taken first place among the standard roses of to-day : The New Crimson Rambler 
‘‘ Philadelphia,’’—(see front cover)—‘‘New Century,” ‘‘Royal Cluster,’’ ‘““May Queen,” ‘‘Ruby 
Queen,’’ ‘‘Pearl Queen,’’ ‘‘Clara Barton,’’ ‘‘Sir Thos. Lipton,’’ ‘‘Magnafrano’’ and ‘‘Beauty of 
Rosemawr,”’ (see index, page 46.) Wealso import each year all the prominent New Roses from 
European growers, which, together with new American introductions, are quickly added to our list 
as fast as they appear. These we test, keep the best, discard the rest and thus keep our assort- 


ment always up to date and yet a safe one to order from. 
O Ai , Rose growing is almost a hobby with us, and our constant aim is to supply 
ur Im: the Best. It costs us more to grow this kind, for they require more room, 
more time, more care, and everything must be done thoroughly. But the experience of a lifetime 
has shown us ‘‘ HOW,”’ and we do not skimp. 
When next you hear any one asking where they can get good plants, please remember these 
points about C. & J. Roses. You will not find better anywhere and few so good. 


Respectfully,

i ee 


Two-year’ old roses, large size shrubbery, fruit 
| trees, etc., are too large to mail and must be sent by express. 
We recommend that customers instruct us to ship smaller 
sized plants also by express,whenin ourjudgment it is best to 
doso. Wecansend larger plants this way and can leave most of 
the earth on roots, which is of course much better for our cus- 
tomers. Express Charges must be paid by the pur- 
chaser, unless otherwise agreed. But we are careful to pack 
| as light as safety of the plants will permit and add as many 
| extras as we can afford to help cover charges and since the 
| expressage on plants, bulbs, etc., is now 20% less than regular 
merchandise rates, the cost of sending goods in this way, even 
to distant points, is quite reasonable. 


The Cost of Express Charges 


you can estimate quite closely with the following schedule. 
Use the rate named for the town nearest you and count the 
weight of two-year old plants when packed ready to express 
about as follows: 12 plants=15 |lbs.; 25 plants=80 Ibs.; 125 
plants=100lbs.; plants one year old 20 to 301bs. per 100 plants. 


Express Charges to the following Points are as follows: 


West of the Rocky Mountains, the express rate on 
plants is from 10 to 12 cts. per lb.; but charges when prepaid 
are only 8 cts. per lb. To save themselves unnecessary 
expense, therefore, we recommend customers living in that 
section to remit with their order sufficient money to prepay 
express. If you send too much we will refund the difference 
at once.

true genuine Crimson Rambler ‘* Philadelphia,”’ better order at once. Un- 

doubtedly the most magnificent Crimson Climbing Rose’ yet produced. 
| Blooms two weeks earlier than the old kind. Splendid flowers, 2% inches 

a across and perfectly double. Borne in elegant clusters, completely cov- 

8 ering the whole bush; color, pure, deep rich crimson, far brighter and more 

A intense than the old Crimson Rambler, which has heretofore been the 

standard for brilliant color; does not fade, bleach or wash out, but holds 

. its bright, dazzling color tothe last. Universally admitted the brightest 
» and best of all Hardy Crimson Climbing Roses yet produced.

splendid clusters of beautiful flowers the whole 
growing season, fine for bedding and house cul- 
ture; also used as a border for taller- -growing 
roses or other plants. It blooms in elegant clus- 
ters, and the flowers are as large and bright as the 
-Crimson Rambler. Undoubtedly one of the great- 
est Novelties in Roses introduced for many years. 
It is entirely hardy, needs no protection and has 
come to stay. Ail NES of beautiful roses will

New Hardy Crimson Ever-Blooming Rose 


10 The Conard & Jones Company, West Grove, Pa. 


The NEW HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE HELEN GOULD 
Another season’s trial has shown the Helen Gould to be one of our most valuable Hardy Crimson Ever- 
blooming Roses, and we cordially recommend it for general planting. It is a remarkably vigorous 
grower, quickly throwing up strong shoots from the root and producing great masses of splendid roses 
through the whole growing season. Flowers are extra large, perfectly double and deliciously sweet ; 
color is rich vinous crimson, elegantly shaded and exceedingly beautiful. It is Entirely Hardy and 
needs no protection in this climate, but the usual Winter covering of leaves or garden litter is always 
advisable when convenient. No lover of Fine Roses can afford to be without the Helen Gould. It 
pleases every one and gives universal satisfaction. Do not fail to include it in your order now.

Tue NEW HYBRID ~ 
_ RUGOSA ROSE © 


SSOP TRIRATBE BY THE CONARO & MOWER COMERWY, IOS: 


SIR THOMAS LIPTON 


E have had this spiendid rose on trial for several years, and now take pleasure in recommending it as the finest 

Pure White Hybrid Rugosa Rose yet produced. It is a strong vigorous grower, making a handsome bush, 

4to 5 feet high, well covered with bright glossy green leaves, which shine as if varnished. The flowers are 8 to 4 

inches across, perfectly double and pure snow white. They are very fragrant and borne on strong upright stems all 

through the growing season. It is one of the Hardiest Roses in existence, and therefore particularly valuable for planting 

in cold climates and exposed localities where other roses do not thrive. It does well everywhere and can be depended on to 

make a strong handsome bush and produce plenty of large double pure white roses for several months every season. It is espe- 

cially recommended for yard, park and cemetery planting, because of its handsome appearance, perfect hardiness and entire 

freedom from insects, rust-and disease. It is undoubtedly the Finest Pure White Hardy Hybrid Rugosa Rose yet pro- 
duced, and is certain to be a standard variety for many years to come.

New Hardy Iron Clad 


Ever-Blooming Rose 
NEW CENTURY 


HIS Magnificent New Rose is the result of a cross 
between the lovely Ever-Blooming Rose Clotilde 
Soupert and the Hardy Rosa Rugosa Alba; it 
originated here and was sent out by us with a beauti- 

ful colored plate which attracted wide attention, and it 
immediately took its place as a first-class standard variety. 
It is perfectly hardy and blooms at short intervals all 
through the Summer and Fail. The flowers are 8 to 4 inches 
across, perfectly full and double and borne in elegant clus- 
ters. The color is clear flesh pink with bright red centre 
and having allthe petals widely bordered with fine creamy 
white ; it is very sweet and has the delightful fragrance of 
the wild rose or sweet briar. It has been called the 
‘‘Tron Clad” Ever-Blooming Rose, for besides being 
perfectly hardy it is entirely free from the attacks of insects, 
rust or blight, and is a real iron-clad continuous blooming 
rose, entirely different from the old ever-blooming varieties, 
and having a different style of beauty. It sailed bo planted 
in good rich ground and kept well manured to induce vigor- 
ous growth and continuous bloom.

BEAUTE INCONSTANTE 


The many-colored Rose—bears red, pink and yellow roses on the same bush. 


BEAUTE INCONSTANTE-—This is a lovely, Ever- 
blooming Rose, which has the remarkable prop- 
perty of bearing different colored roses on the W 
same bush. Sometimes the flowers are distinctly te 
striped and variegated, but frequently are of 
entirely different colors, some 
being clear satiny pink, some Lt 
bright red, and others deep \ WANS 
yellow, with all intermediate NY 
shades between, which, besides 
being very beautiful, are a great 
curiosity. The colors and varie- 
gations become more distinct 
and remarkable as the plant 
becomes older and stronger. - 
It is a free and constant 
bloomer. The flowers 
and buds are of good 
size and fine form, high- 
ly valued for cutting

Quick-Blooming Roses, as offered in the fol- 

lowing list. They are especially selected early- 
flowering varieties, grown last season and kept dormant over 
Winter, and then repotted in larger size pots, which makes 
stout, stocky plants with an abundance of strong working 
roots, in best possible condition for vigorous growth and 
quick bloom. They should be planted as early as possible 
after the frost is out; rough weather will not hurt them, and 
the earlier they are planted the quicker and better they will 
bloom. There are no roses equal to these for quick and Sat- 


isfactory bloom. 

They cost a little more than the ordinary size, but are worth twice the 
difference, and are sent postpaid by mail at the pricesstated. They are 
so hardy and vigorous you cannot easily kill them or keep them from

THE FAMOUS OLD 


YORK and LANCASTER ROSE 


HIS is a remarkable old English variety, dating back hundreds of years to what 

was known as the Wars of the Roses in England, when the two warring fac- 
_ tions were distinguished in battle by the color of the Roses they wore in their 
Hats, the bright Red Roses representing one party, and the Pure White Roses the 
other; these wars lasted for years, and when peace was made, the two parties were 
united, and the Red and White became the National Colors of England. The York 
and Lancaster Rose belongs to the Centifolia class, and is noted for its perfect hardi- 
ness and delightful fragrance; also for its beautifully variegated flowers, which are 
large and double and elegantly striped with deep crimson and pure white. It is so 
difficult to propagate we can only offer a limited supply of strong two-year plants. 
PRICE, while they last, 75 cts. and $1.00.each, by express. STOCK LIMITED.

HARDY HYDrid Perpetual ROSCS caatiued 


HE Hybrid Perpetuals are considered the most valuable of all roses, because they bear the largest, 
sweetest and most brilliant colored flowers, and are’so hardy and vigorous they live over Winter 
without protection, and continue to bloom regularly from year to year, Their grand flowers are 


of all shades of red, crimson, scarlet, pink 
and white, but no yellows. They thrive and 
bloom finely in all sections of the country 
and should generally be planted in 
open ground, as but few varieties are 
suitable for house culture. Some 
kinds do not bloom till the second 
year, but when fully established 
bloom regularly at the usual 
time, and occasionally during 
the Summer and Fall months. 


Though called ‘‘ Perpetual,”’ 
they are not constant 27S 


: 


bloomers but are the finest 
and most beautiful of all 
Hardy Roses.

We offer the choicest and 
most Beautiful Varieties in 
Cultivation,and send Strong, 
Healthy Plants from 2% 
and 3-inch Pots all on their 
own roots. Persons who or=

Two Year Old Dormant Perpetual Roses 


(IMPORTED) 


S there is increasing demand for large dormant field-grown roses for Fall and early Spring 
planting, we offer herewith, in addition to our own growing of C. & J. ROSES, a very 
choice stock of Imported Hardy Perpetuals. They are large thrifty bushes, 2 to 4 feet 
high, just the kind you want to make a fine appearance and bloom quickly. They have 


given splendid satisfaction wherever tried, and we are sure will please you. PRICE, 40 cts. 


each. Set of 12 varieties for $3.50, packed to express here. 


These large imported roses are not grown on their own roots, but are budded or grafted and should, 
NOTIC therefore, be planted sufficiently deep to place the junction of the root and graft, three to four inches below 

the surface. When this is done, wild shoots will not often start from the root, and if they do, the growth 
and foliage are so different from the true variety that it will quickly be seen and should be cut out down to the root at once, 
The varieties listed herewith are among the very best for this climate, and so entirely hardy they can safely be planted in the 
Fall, as long as ground continues open, or in the Spring, as soon as frost is out. Rough weather will not hurt them, and the 
earlier they are planted the better, so they can get a good start made before hot weather. We give purchasers their choice of 
varieties as far as possible, but if all the kinds asked for cannot be given, request permission to put in other similar sorts of equal 
value without further instructions, and always guaranteeing full satisfaction in every way. NOWH—We never send budded 
roses unless specially asked for, and when they require it, always cut them back to proper height for planting before shipment, 
unless otherwise directed. As this stock is limited and we can get no more this season, it is important to order as early as pos- 
sible. Orders will be ‘illed in strict rotation as long as stock lasts. (See list of leading varieties below and descriptions 
in index.)

CANNA LILIES 


If our grandmothers could see our Modern Canna Lilies they would throw up their hands 1n admi- 
ration, for instead of the old-fashioned flowerless Canna which they loved on account of its leaves, we now 
have plants with the same handsome foliage, but with, also, great masses of large lily-like flowers— 
gorgeously beautiful. That is why we call our newer kinds Cazza Lilies instead of just Cannas. 


‘¢KING OF BEDDING PLANTS’”’ is a title they have, and richly deserve. They begin to bloom 
by the end of June and never stop tillfrost. The flowers are a veritable blaze of color in every shade imagi- 
nable (except blue) and either plain, dappled, edged, striped or variegated. Plants range in sizes from 
2% to 7 feet high with foliage of green or bronze often striped like some rare tropical plant. So you see 
they are suitable for planting in beds of all possible shapes and sizes or for placing along fences, walls, 
porches or driveways, for screens, hedges and border plants.. (See our Suggestions, page 135.) They 
grow most anywhere, but do best in rich soil. We send full cultural directions with every order and also tell 
you how to keep the roots over Winter. Canna Lilies ordered early should be started indoors. Plant out 
when the ground is warm (say May 10th in this latitude). Easy to grow and multiply rapidly. Try some.

A BED OF C. & J, CANNA LILIES IN FRONT OF THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING AT THE WORLD’S FAIR 


We Originate New Canna Lilies. During the past ten years, our Vice- 


President, Mr. Wintzer (who is well 
known as a skilled hybridizer and grower of roses) has originated by scientific ‘‘crossing’’ and 
‘“‘recrossing’’ of the Canna flowers, more new varieties than we can count. Each year we have made 
careful selection from these ‘‘seedlings’’ and have introduced to the American people about 60 new and 
distinctly improved sorts. These C. & J. varieties represent the highest type of up-to-date Canna excel- 
lence: the largest and finest flowers—the greatest variety and brilliancy of colors and the kinds best 
constituted to stand the trying conditions of our American climate. ‘‘ People who know”’ recognize this 
and come to us for stock. To-day we are looked upon as Headquarters for High Grade Canna Lilies. 


At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition held at St. Louis Last Summer, we had an 
extensive exhibit of Canna Lilies as did also other prominent firms from this country and Europe. The 
Exposition authorities did the planting in regular St. Louis soil without extra coddling or care. Our cus- 
tomers and friends returning from the Exposition reported that ‘‘The Conard & Jones Co.’s flower beds 
were the most magnificent display of bright flowering plants on the 1200 acres of ground!’ The judges 
were unanimous in awarding: ‘*THE GRAND PRIZE (highest possible award and the only 
Grand Prize given Cannas) to THE CONARD & JONES COMPANY, WEST GROVE, PA.” 
It is wholly because of the quality of our stock that judges, experts and customers agree that 
“<C. & J. CANNA LILIES are best in the world.’’ You should have some on your lawn. =

Snowy White Canna MONT BLANC 


MONT BLANC was introduced by us in 1902 and is to-day by all odds the finest white Canna in commerce; in fact, 
there is no other variety that can compare with it. It has a vigorous constitution, blooms early and continuously in the 
greatest profusion during the whole growing season. Its foliage is bright glossy green, very large and handsome, and so

Hardy English or Large-Flowered Clematis 


NOTE —The Large-Flowered or Hardy English Clematis are considered the most beautiful of all 
our Flowering Vines. The flowers are large, often measuring four to six inches across and are borne in 
great wreaths and clusters during July and August. The colors range from rich, royal purple to pearly- 
white. The vines’are of slender, wiry growth and require some support that they can twine around, like 
arod, pole or wire, and if the location is somewhat moist and partially shaded, so much the better; the 
north side of the house or porch is often the best place for them; hardy, but a mulch of leaves or litter 
around the roots, at least the first season, will be an advantage.

adding brightness and color to the border beds, and a comparatively small collection will enable you to 
have some flowers in bloom all Summer through. They require almost no care at all, are perfectly hardy, 
and last for years, which makes the first cost almost the only expense. Thus asa class, they combine 
beauty, utility, and economy in a rare degree.

some; from four to six inches across; many brilliant colors, 
including red, pink, crimson, scarlet, salmon, yellow and pure 
white. The Bulbs should be started early in the house, and 
set out when ground is warm; they like rich, moist ground

with old, well-rotted manure or some similar material to shade 
the ground and prevent it from getting too hot and dry. Keep 
roots in cellar over Winter and they will produce larger and 
finer flowers year after year. They are very grand and beau- 
tiful and extensively used in the finest places. Can be 
kept in pots or bedded out as preferred.

Splendid New SWEET PEAS 


O's Splendid New Sweet Peas are the prettiest and most satisfactory flowers you can have. They 


grow easily and bloom very quickly. We offer the sweetest and most beautiful varieties in exist- 

ence, at very little prices. They do well everywhere ; bloom abundantly and give delightful 
pleasure to ‘all. The flowers last a long time after cutting, and are highly prized for house and table 
decoration. They should be planted in liberal quantity. We sell in any quantity desired, by the packet, 
ounce or pound, and hope to have your orders this season. 


THE CULTURE IS VERY SIMPLE —Plant the seed three or four inches deep in the most convenient place you happen 
to have, very early in the Spring—just as early as possible, February, March, April or May, according to the season and 
locality. Keep the ground loose and mellow, give the young plants good support to climb on—wire netting, twine or brush. 
Keep the flowers picked off clean every day as fast as they open (this is very important), and they will bloom abundantly 
for many weeks. No flowers are easier to grow or more certain to give satisfaction.

HESE magnificent Large Flowering Cine- 
E rarias are among the most beautiful plants 
you can have for Winter and Spring bloom 
in the house or conservatory. Seed sown from 
May to August will bloom abundantly the fol- 
lowing Winter and Spring. The plants grow 
twelve inches high and nearly as much in diame- 
ter. The flowers measure two to three inches 
across and come in many brilliant colors—white, 
blue, violet and crimson shades, and usually two 
or more colors are shown in one flower, and the 
plant is covered with a sheet of splendid flowers 
for weeks at a time. Seeds should be sown in 
a shallow box of light rich earth, and plants 
grown in pots. Keep in a cool, shady place ; 
during Summer they do not like too much heat, 
and must not be allowed to get dry at roots.

_ When Setting Out Strawberry Plants be careful not to let the roots get dry. It is a good plan to dip the roots 
in water, taking care not to wet the crowns, and then “‘ heel” in moist shady ground until you are ready to plant. 
Press the earth down firmly on the roots, so as to exclude the air and hot drying winds. This is very important.

bearing. Little trees, not over twoto three feet high, frequently 
bear large apples a few months after planting, and all should 
bear abundantly ina very short time. The apples are large 
and beautiful; rich golden yellow, streaked with red. They 
ripen about mid-season and are most delicious quality. The 
trees may be planted only three to four feet apart, along a 
fence or in any vacant corner you happen to have, and will 
soon repay you with delicious fruit.

THE WONDERFUL 


NEW LOGAN BERRY 


(BLACKBERRY RASPBERRY) 


This grand new berry originated in California but has been tested here for several years. It 
makes a strong vigorous bush, and is quite hardy unless in very exposed situations where slight protec- 
tion may be advisable. It seems to be a true Hybrid between the Raspberry and Blackberry, partaking 
of the nature of both in quality and appearance but of finer and more delightful flavor. The berries are 
the size of the largest BLACKBERRIES and of a rich dark purple red, entirely different and much 
larger than any other Blackberry. It bears abundantly, the fruit has very few seeds, ripens early before 
blackberries, and is of such superior quality for cooking and eating that it has brought four times the 
price of other berries in market. It is well worthy of careful trial by every one interested in New Fruits, 
as It is very handsome and entirely different from all other berry fruits. 15 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts.; 
$1.00 per dozen, postpaid. $6.00 per hundred, by express. Two-year plants, 20 cents each,

“UR VELVET GREEN LAWN GRASS SEED is not excelled by any for producing a smooth, even,

In seeding down a lawn or grass plot, three things are necessary to insure success: 
First, to prepare the ground so as to have a fine, smooth seedbed; second, to put on plenty of seed; 


never less, but rather more than the directions call for; third, to start the lawn-mow*r as soon as the weeds 
(which are always in the ground and sure to start first) are tall enough to catch, and keep them mowed off close 
till the grass has time to start and become well established. The seed should be lightly raked in and finished 


with a roller. 


Apply any good commercial fertilizer as a top-dressing when needed. One quart of seed is 
enough for three hundred square feet (fifteen by twenty feet), or at the rate of five bushels to the acre. 


Lawns 


should be kept neatly mowed, which induces a clean, even growth of fresh lively green.

LOUISIANA is a vigorous grower, producing a thick mass of glossy green 1’ 
foliage ; each leaf edged with a narrow purple band. But its crowning glory is 
in its flowers; ; they are like beautiful: orchids; size, often more than 7 inches | 
across and every inch a vivid scarlet. (Our artist admits, there is no paint 


-made can match it.) Imagine a plant 7 feet high, having four or five main 


‘stems and each one covered with flowers like that shown on the back cover

LOR a gorgeous display of the most brilliant colors all Summer long and until late Fall, there is 
nothing can equal the Canna; and there is no way in which Cannas can be more effectively 


and satisfactorily used than when planted together in large rows or beds. As sizes range from fag 


2 to 6 ft, and colors include some 40 different shades, it is important to select for this purpose 
kinds that look best together. For the convenience of our customers, therefore, we here offer a few 
carefully chosen collections. For the size and price of beds named, we believe the arrangements we 
suggest will produce the finest effects in Canna: beds it is possible to obtain. Plant any of these | 
combinations and you will be surprised and delighted with the result. Full directions “HOW TO
