DISTINGUISHED NOVELTY ROSES 


<—<« *Golden Gleam 


PERNET 


Buttercup- yellow. Exquisite, !ong shaped bud 
of buttercup-yellow, heavily marked with carmine- 
scarlet. The half-open blooms are simply enchant- 
ing in both form and color. Open flower clear 
yellow, without shading, comes on strong stems. 
A beautiful bedding Rose. We recommend it as 
an almost sure winner to anyone who exhibits 
Roses at his local Rose show. Awarded the Gold 
Medal of the King, at Barcelona, Spain, 1929. 
$2 each.

PERNET 


Red-orange. A truly spectacular Rose. It shows 
best in the half-open bud stage when it is of the deep- 
est red-orange, almost brownish, with deeply im- 
pressed marocn veins. Toward the end, the color 
tones to old-rose. Delicate perfume. $1.50 each.

Awarded Certificate of Merit 
Bagatelle, 1930 


Here is a dream come true; dream of a black- 
lustred red rose with a grace of petalage quite be- 
yond this portrait of the bud just bursting. The 
blooms are semi-double, but they come profusely 
on a vigorous branching bush, giving a candelabra 
effect. The color, instead of fading, gets darker as 
the flower. ages until it is almost black. Fol- 

iage is unusually disease-resistant. This Rose 

has been thoroughly tested in our test-garden 

and fields and we recommend it highly. It 
_gwas first offered in the fall of 1930. An 
~ exclusive Star novelty. $5 each.

Rose Specialists for 34 Years 


We had no airplane here with which to photograph this entire field of Star Roses, hence 
we can show but a third of the quarter-mile-long rows in one of our six fields. 

In spite of a summer when wells went dry, these deeply rooted Roses, treated to intensive 
cultivation, kept right on growing the entire season till checked by frost. 

This is but one of several fields, all of which have been grown close to our storage-plant 
and under our own supervision. We’re proud of these plants—now safely housed and ready 
for you. Read on the margin what Mr. McFarland, President of the American Rose Society, 


wrote on his return from a visit here last September.

SEE FRONT COVER 

* DIRECTOR RUBIO. H.T. Cochineal-pink. 
Director Rubio, m charge of Barcelona (Spain) 
public parks and Royal Gardens, is a critical 
judge of Roses, and to have permitted his name to 
be given a Rose is in itself a guarantee of quality. 
Of medium height and compact form, it makes an 
ideal bedder. The bud, borne on erect pedicel, is 
cerise-scarlet, opening to a very large and fairly 
double bloom, sweetly scented, of a solid cochi- 
neal-pink, holding its color long, rain or shine; 
then it pales some and dies gracefully. The petals 
are uneven in shape, some notched. The span 
from the first color of the bud to the drop of the 
petals is unusually long. Outstanding both in 
lumimous color and bizarre form, for the color 
is unique and the laminated petals of the fully 
opened flower bring to mind the ruffled feathers 
of a swan. This new type of Rose will give an 
added zest to any Rose-garden. $2.50 each.

EXPLANATION OF ROSE BUSH TYPES 


No. 1. Creeping Roses are those varieties naturally hugging the ground. 


No. 2. Baby or Polyantha Roses are Iow in growth, 10 to 20 inches, and very hardy; 
continuous clusters of pompon blooms. 


No. 3A. Hybrid Teas, Teas and Pernetianas are the most popular because of their more 
or less continuous blooming habit. Generally planted close together in beds. 


No. 3B. Hybrid Perpetuals. Vigorous and very hardy, their height is governed by 
pruning method; some may be kept reasonably low, others are of pillar height. 


No. 4. Shrub Roses. Mainly species or wild Roses, such as Rugosa, Hugonis, etc., and 
ther hybrids. Their height and the planting space required varies consid- 
erably, but generally 3 feet square of space will suit most of them. 

No. 5. Pillar Roses are those varieties, regardless of class, that can be 
trained on a pole or trellis of varying height—5 to 8 feet. 

No. 6. Climbing Roses, a general class em- 
bracing all varieties regardless of class, habit 
or origin, that can be trained 
on an artificial support. 
Some attain great height. *

Complete Rose-Gardens Our Specialty 


Our wide experience of over thirty years has given us an unusual education in the 
best in Rose-garden practice. When time permits, before our busiest season, we take 
pleasure in sharing our experiences with our customers who are just starting or are Increasing 
their plantings. 


During the past year we have had the satisfaction of being entrusted with the selection 
of varieties and, indeed, with orders for the completion of several prominent Rose-gardens. 
We are furnished, first, with the landscape architect’s designs. With that as a basis, 
we not only select the varieties but also locate them on a plantmng-chart which we forward 
with or ahead of the Roses. This planting-chart simplifies the entire operation, both to 
owner and workman. Please note that we are not landscape architects; we must have made 
for us a plan of your garden, and then we will work out the planting details for you. 
Write to us regarding your space and your wishes. We can help you to get the best 1 In 


Rose-work.

1930, and one section contains 830 Star Roses. 


Many cities are beginning to realize the civic value of Municipal 


Rose- Gardens which attract and delight more people than any other feature in the entire park system. 


* Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. C1.H.P. (See opposite page) >>> 


Pedro Dot, Spain, 1927. Introduced in America by The Conard-Pyle Co. 


The deliciously fragrant blooms are borne on 12 to 15-inch stems 


Mme. Gregoire Staechelin has won two tm- 
portant Rose awards, one of which is the French 
Bagatelle Gold Medal (1927)—the highest 
international recognition that a Rose can receive. 
In America, this unique climber won the first 
John Cook Medal (1929) awarded by the 
American Rose Society. On June 11, 1930, this 
medal was presented by Robert Pyle to Sefior 
Pedro Dot at Barcelona, Spain, for Mme. Gregoire 
Staechelin, “the best Rose introduced in the past 
three years.” 

The color of this Rose is unmatched. When 
the sepals of the lIong-pointed buds begin to 
divide, the first color is a deep maroon, but as 
the bud develops into the rare and graceful um 
shape, that maroon stripe begins to “run” into a 
graduated carmine, paling some as the bloom 
expands into a large, semi-double cup, each 
flower radiating a delightful fragrance of Its own. 


The charming open blooms of iridescent pearl- 
pink come but once a year, but as the buds come 
three to five on the stem, opening one after the 
other, the season Is unusually long. 

The plant is extremely vigorous, growing easily 
12 feet or more, each year climbing higher. The 
foliage is beautiful olive color, ample and leathery. 
Its hardiness has been proved by seven con- 
secutive winters at West Grove. 

Being a true climber, Mme. Gregoire Sache 
lin can be used for wire fences (the long branches 
trained along the lateral wires), pergolas, tall 
pylons; as pillars when twined around a stout 
post, lamp-post, or telephone-pole. On the side 
of a house it will eventually reach over the roof. 
The most effective perfectly hardy climbing Rose, 
providing hundreds of exquisite fragrant blooms 
for cutting.

CONTINUOUS-BLOOMING ROSE BUSHES 


For thirty-four years this firm has specialized in high-grade Roses. Twenty-three years 
ago the first Star Dozen was offered, and this now-famous collection has been improved 
yearly as new and more dependable varieties came on the market. Now, the veriest amateur 
can confidently depend upon fifteen to twenty dozen magnificent blooms the first season 
these Roses are planted, and for years afterward will have them to repeat or improve on 
this performance. 

A big Rose-garden is not necessary. The prize-winning blooms at many local Rose 
shows come from city back yards. A piece of ground as large as an ordinary kitchen table, 
where the sun shines three to four hours a day, is large enough in which to grow this dozen 
Roses to perfection. Have you such a spot? Try this Collection. You run no risk, for every 
Star Rose is guaranteed to grow and bloom or the money paid for them ts refunded.

let. See opposite page. The Iong-pointed, artistic 
bud is deep red in color, approaching maroon. It 
opens to a large, semi-double, brilliant crimson- 
scarlet with a velvety sheen. Its lasting qualities, 
long stems, and fragrance make it splendid for cut- 
ting. The vigorous plant-habit makes it ideal for a 
bedding Rose, and the foliage is handsome and 
disease-resistant. As a cross between Gen. Mac- 
Arthur and Hadley, it has the best qualities of both 
without the weaknesses of either. Unusually winter- 
hardy. $1 each; 12 for $10.80; 25 for $20.

Would like to say a few words regarding your 

Star Dozen Roses. From May 30, 1929, to frost we 


cut 295 Roses. On Mrs. Aaron Ward we sometimes 
had 15 buds at a time, and such a Rose when in bud! 
We certainly are pleased with the Star Collection.— 


See opposite page. This medal-winning Rose boasts 
the honor of being named for the city of Paris over 
77 competitors from 11 countries, when, at the same 
time, it won the Bagatelle Gold Medal in 1925. The 
pointed bud has a broad base and opens to a fairly 
large, fragrant flower. The center does not turn 
black. Although not giving a profusion of blooms 
at any one time, it Is a steady bloomer all season, 
taking little rest. It stands weather variations 
better than most yellows and has notably disease- 
resistant foliage. $1 each; 12 for $10.80; 25 for $20.

“Another sectional view of one of our six fields of 1930 Star Roses 


Rose Specialists for 34 Years! 


Discriminating purchasers have learned that a slightly higher amount 
invested in Star Roses provides a vastly better article. When you consider 
your own investment in time and devotion to the plants you buy, after 
their arrival, a few cents difference in first cost ts slight when compared with 
the greater growth and abundance of bloom that come from our guaranteed 
Roses. 

Remember that we have been through the experience of importing Roses 
by the carload from the Pacific Coast and from many other sections of 
America, but our home-grown Roses that we have this year harvested, 
practically all within 5 miles of our own storage cellars, are finer stock than 
the best that we ever obtained elsewhere. And this refers to the quality 
of the plants. 


“The Best Roses for America” was the slogan that we adopted many 
years ago. It had to do first with the quality of the plants, but quite as much 
with selection of varieties that might be expected to succeed for amateurs 
in various parts of our country. 


We consider it an exceedingly Important part of our business, as the 
title of this catalog, “Star Guide to Good Roses,” indicates, that we 
should protect-our patrons from disappointment, for such is the only thing 
to expect from some Roses. We know of no other commercial establish- 
ment in this country where Is spent a fraction as much as is spent here on 
collecting, testing, culling, and finally selecting only such varieties as are 
worthy to wear our Star. 

By extensive travel throughout this continent and among the Rose- 
growers abroad, we have established and are in first-hand contact with the 
world’s greatest hybridizers; we are In constant touch with sources of new 
Rose-supply; we endeavor, and usually succeed, in obtaining here the 
earliest plants available of each new Rose that appears. Then begins the 
testing. Approximately 1500 varieties, not In commerce, are undergoing 
such scrutiny in our Test-Garden at present. Usually three to five years 
are required for thoroughgoing results and for developing, from among the 
choicest, basis for the stock with which 
to provide our patrons. As a result of 
this testing we are also able, as reflected 
in the following pages, to offer not only 
the best known but also many varieties 
of Roses not elsewhere obtainable.

We Grow Our Own Star Roses 


Building a Rose bush is an all-season process. What the har- 
vest will be depends upon many things. For example, we plow 
the ground double-depth, we feed the plants generously; during 
three years of growth each plant gets the pruning shears several 
different times. But no feature is more important than that 
healthy foliage be retained throughout the season; a plant that 
prematurely drops its leaves stops building wood, and such a 
plant promises disappointment to the purchaser. AII such we 
aim to eliminate. 

Because of the many chances of failure from Roses that have 
been carelessly grown or heedlessly handled, we try to steer clear 
of purchasing Roses from unknown sources. We are pleased to 
offer you plants that have been grown under our own control and 
observation—plants that have had the advantage of care based 
upon skill and experience that have come from years and years 


of doing one thing well. 

R S : lj t Rose specialists we are, and Rose 
OSE IPEClalIStsS. oo ecialists, too, are the men whose 

families have been associated with us these many years. In 

planting, im summer care and autumn harvest, in storage and 

winter care of hundreds of thousands of living plants, faithful, 

assiduous, constant vigilance is essential to the highest success. 

Because Roses for first-class results must have such attention, 

and because Star Roses have been so 

grown and so cared for, these facts ex- 

plain why the demand for ee Roses Vey 

continues steadily to increase. Success a, ; 

with Star Roses is built on performance. Bat J eacsieane

Your pleasure-money cannot be spent better 
than in buying Star Roses. It is an investment 
in recreation and beauty from which you will

If you have room for 100 plants, you will 
get greater satisfaction by having several plants 
of the same variety to cut from. We help you

sets for $75. In this way you get $104 worth 
of Roses which are GUARANTEED TO BLOOM

plants, but the bargain PRICE is made possible 
by the saving in labor when large quantities are 
assembled and packed at one time. Here is 
your chance to have a refreshing Rose-garden 
where restful recreation for mind and body are 
assured for everyone who loves to walk or

Everblooming Star Roses 


Everblooming Roses are, naturally, the first desire of everyone when they decide to try 
Rose-growing, and this ts, fortunately, the largest group from which selections can be made. 
All Rose colors are included in this class. There are delightful shades of tinted white, pink 
and red, yellow in all tones from cream to gold, and coppery hues like burnished bronze. 

These Everblooming Roses also provide infinite variety in form, from the full double 


Rose, Itrke Dame Edith Helen, to the 5-peta 


degrees between.

The perfect Rose does not exist. No one variety combines all desirable qualities in the

quality of growth or bloom, beauty of form or fragrance. They have been described from 

the flowers as they bloom, for we grow and know the 


Angéle Pernet. Unique orange color 


*ANGELE PERNET. Pernet. Orange. See 
illustration above. Another instance where a Rose 
named for the immediate family of the originator 
is a proof of quality. An absolutely unique color, 
especially in the spring and fall when its Austrian 
Copper ancestry is most strongly evident— 
brownish orange-red toning to chrome in the 
center, reverse of petals brilliant gold. The 
flower is semi-single, thus adding to its charm. 
Plant is a bushy, upright grower, with handsome 
holly-like foliage. $1 each.

...I1 wish to compliment the Conard-Pyle Company on the 
comparative showing made last fall, when I bought Rose plants 
from three outstanding nurseries. The combination of guarantee 
without extra charge, permanent label on each plant, and high 
quality of plants shipped brings the service rendered by your 
company to the forefront—W. N. H., Washington, D. C 


Order No. 7265 April 6, 1930 


I received my order of Roses (No. 7265) safely and in good 
condition, Friday, April 4. I wish to say that the quality of the 
Roses received greatly exceeded my expectations. I have been 
buying Roses from various growers for the past fifteen years, 
but never received better plants, both as to size and root- 


prone than those purchased from you.—P. R. E., Glen Rock, 


Roses we sell. 


*ABOL. H.T. White. A truly white Rose when 
the blooms are open, but the buds are occasion- 
ally flushed with pink. A most attractive feature 
is the exhilarating fragrance which Is rare in 


white Roses. $1.50 each. 


* ARIEL. Pernet. Great globular flowers, fra- 
grant and brilliant, in orange-flame and yellow. 
Good disease-resistant foliage on a vigorous, up- 
right-growing plant that blooms in bursts of fine 
flowers. Similar in color and produces more 
blooms than Lady Margaret Stewart, but does 
not have as many petals. $1 each. 


*AMI L. CRETTE. H.T. New. Rose-red. 
See description on page 29, 
*AMI QUINARD. H.T. New. Crimson- 


maroon. See color illustration and description on 
inside front cover. 


*BETTY UPRICHARD. H.T. Two-tone sal- 
mon. See color illustration and special offer on 
page 21. The copper-red buds open to average- 
size flowers of a general salmon appearance, with 
a soft, ““egg-shell” fmish, while the reverse of the 
petals is a brilliant coppery carmine, the com- 
bination being very harmonious. The form is 
artistic: first the flowers open as a cup, with a 
few petals standing up in the center, giving an 
impression of fullness; later, during the heat of 
the day, these center petals become imbricated, 
to rise again toward evening when the whole 
bloom is semi-closed, displaying at its best the 
two-tone effect. Stands the heat remarkably 
well, at no time showing fatigue; colors are fast 
on both sides of petals. Fragrance light but 
spicy. The plant is a vigorous grower, rivaling 
the well-known Radiance in height and blooming. 
In all, “Betty U” 1s a foremost Rose for every- 
body’s garden, and one of those easy-to-grow

Order No. 14259 June 28, 1930 
Several months ago I recerved about two dozen of your Star 
Roses and must say that they are the finest stock I have ever 
seen. I have also planted a good many Roses from other con- 
cerns, but must confess that those I received from you grow 
better and give more beautiful blooms than any others I have.—

* CHARLES P. KILHAM. Pernet. New. Coral- 
red and orange. See description on page 26;

*COLUMBIA. H.T. Rose-pink. One of the 
best garden varieties ever produced in this 
country. The large buds open slowly to wide 
flowers, somewhat flat, but full to the center. 
Deep rose-pink, tinged with yellow at the base 
of the petals. As the flower ages, the tints get 
darker, and in cool weather it will be almost 
cerise. When the spring Is cool, the first buds 
are not always perfect. Delightfully fragrant. 
Its long, very strong stems and fie lasting 
quality make it ideal for cutting, especially in ¢ 
the autumn. The foliage is healthy and the @ 
plant almost thornless. $1 each. 


*CUBA. Pernet. Cardinal-red. Large, bril- 
liant, semi-double flowers of the color of the 
Cuban flag, come in quick succession, have 
a spicy fragrance, but do not last very long 
in hot sun. The bush is sturdy and compact 
and foliage quite good. One of the earliest Dame Edith Helen. True old-Rose perfume

*EDEL. H.T. White. A strong-growing Rose 
producing very large, full, white blooms, with a 
tinge of lemon in the depths between the petals. 
It 1s so double that, dahlia-fashion, the outer 
petals, hidden under the big bloom, often begin 
to wilt and dry before the center ones are fully 
unfurled. The flowers may “ball? in wet or 
muggy climatic conditions. The plant Is of up- 
right growth; the foliage ample but somewhat 
delicate. An exhibition variety and a splendid 
bedding Rose in dry, warm weather where the 
blooms are astonishingly majestic. It is sweetly 
fragrant. $1 each. 

*E. G. HILL. H.T. New. Crimson-scarlet. See 


description and ilustration on page 29. 


* ELDORADO. Pernet. Yellow. A full bloom 
of unusual beauty and pervading perfume; bril- 
liant buttercup-yellow; very persistent. Not a 
very free bloomer, but each bloom perfect. 
Although as double as Centifolia, the blooms 
seldom ball. The foliage is typical of the Per- 
netiana race. $1 each. 


Etoile de Feu. Wonderful flame color 


*xETOILE DE FEU. Pernet. Flame color. Re- 
markable in color and a center of attraction in 
our Rose-garden and fields. The globular buds 
of glowing flame (hence its name, meaning “star 
of fire’) gradually open to blooms of coral-pink 
and glowing reddish salmon, which are full and 
very large; especially fine in hot sunshine. Its 
foliage is rich, glossy, dark green and more resis- 
tant to disease than most other Pernetianas. The 
plants, when young, are of spreading habit, but 
become more upright and branching when they 
are established. $1 each.

flowers are not really at their best until the plant

~The contemporary representative of an_ old, 


illustrious family, boasting Louis Philippe and 
Cramoisi Supérieur among its forebears. The 
flowers come in clusters, each one perfect, but of 
short duration and waving at the breeze on a 
slender stem. The color, when the blooms are 
first opening, Is very rich crimson, quickly chang- 
ing to bright scarlet, shading to velvety fiery red. 
One of the brightest colored Roses we know. The 
flowers are medium size, full, extremely showy, 
and handsome, with a pervasive fragrance that Is 
especially delightful. It blooms constantly and 
continues covered with flowers the whole season. 
The bush is healthy, vigorous and quite hardy. 
It is one of the Roses everyone wants. While the 
plant grows too tall for the Hybrid Tea bed, it 
makes a splendid specimen either as a group on 
the lawn or in the shrubbery border. A hedge of 
Gruss an Teplitz is a sight to behold, from early 
spring to late fall. Prune but lightly for quantity

*x IMPERIAL POTENTATE. H.T. Deep pink. 
An American-born Rose of Ophelia parentage, 
especially bred for gardens in which quality super- 
sedes quantity. Rich, sparkling pink buds unfold 
to large, double, well-shaped flowers, pretty at 
all stages, with true Rose fragrance. Bushes are 
sturdily hardy, with handsome olive-green foliage 
that is notably disease-resistant. After several 
years testing in our Rose-garden we find this one of 
the most dependable pink Hybrid Teas. $1 each. 


*xINDEPENDENCE DAY. Pernet. Apricot- 
yellow. Semi-double flowers, generally in clusters 
on small, stubby stems, are apricot, suffused with 
golden yellow, and are somewhat fragrant. 
Like most yellow Roses, the sun will fade the 
color, wherefore it is at its best im the early 
morning. Useful for bedding, as it blooms 
almost continuously. $1 each.

Flowers medium size, double, fragrant, and 
long lasting when cut. Color is golden 
pink which passes to blush-pink as the 
flower ages. $1.25 each.

A vigorous grower with abundant, leath- 
ery foliage. The flowers are long-pointed, 
double, and Jasting. Color is shrimp-pink, 
merging to salmon when fully open.

know that has enough “pep”’ to do well almost 
anywhere. Light pink with salmon-orange 
tinge. $1 each.

description on page 29, 


* J.C.N.FORESTIER. Pernet. Carmine. Long, 
reddish carmine buds and carmine-lake flowers, 
slightly tinted with orange and suffused with 
golden yellow at the base. A very large, full, 
artistically disarranged, sweet-scented Rose of a 
unique coloring, hardly changing from bud to 
finish. The plant is vigorous, tall-growing, and a 
persistent bloomer. Named for J. C. N. Forestier, 
who organized the world-famous annual Inter- 
national Contest of New Roses at Bagatelle, 
Paris, France. This Rose was winner of the 
coveted Bagatelle Gold Medal in 1919. In our 
Rose-fields it distinguishes itself by its erect 
growth and continuity of bloom. $1 each.

Init 


A large, full, white Rose, following a 


short, ovoid bud, it has petals of unusual sub- 
stance and unequaled color. The very double 
flowers are white, tinted with lemon at the base, 
and are long lasting. It is not a vigorous grower 
or free in bloom but it is yet the most popular 
white Hybrid Tea. Illustrated on page 12. $1 ea. 


Kardinal Piffl. Orange-pink color and blooms continuously 


* KARDINAL PIFFL. (Named for the Primate 
of Germany.) Pernet. Orange-pink. A very 
active bloomer, generally in clusters, but when 
disbudded to one bloom to the stem produces 
mammoth flowers. The bud is ovoid, orange- 
pink, with gold at the base, opening to well- 
arranged, double flowers holding their color well 
to the end; fruity fragrance. This Rose keeps up a 
continuous succession of bloom. Although intro- 
duced only five years ago, it has already estab- 
lished itself as a Ieader for quantity and quality 
of blooms. Bagatelle Gold Medal, 1926. See 
illustration. $1.50 each. 


An Ounce of Prevention Is Better Than a Pound of Cure 


Protect your healthy Roses from contact diseases like mildew and black-spot, 
and they will not require any cure, but will give you prize-wmning blooms. For 
one dozen Star Roses for a season you should have handy and use: 1 Ib. Star Rose 
Dust, 50 cts.; 1 Hand Dust Gun, $1.35; 1 oz. Red Arrow Insecticide, 35 cts.; and 
100 Stimuplant tablets, 75 cts., to stimulate and feed the plants when the buds are 
forming. Ask for FIRST AID OFFER. $2.95 worth for $2.50, postpaid.

*KONIGIN CAROLA. H.T. Silver-pmk. We 
believe this variety to be the best of the silver- 
pink Roses, both in flower and plant. The buds 
are long and massive, bright satiny La-France- 
pink, with a carmine sheen on the reverse of the 
petals. The bloom is very large, assuming the 
peony size and form. It flowers well in the fall 
and throughout the rest of the season is a steady, 
but not profuse, bloomer. The plants are strong 
growers, with heavy, healthy foliage. Because 
of its lovely color, immense blooms, and sturdy 
habit of growth, this is one of the most admired 
Roses in our display garden. We recommend it 
for planting im solid beds. It is a great improve- 
ment over Mme. Caroline Testout, one of its 
parents. $1 each. 


Lady Margaret Stewart. Coppery yellow 


*LADY ALICE STANLEY. H.T. Flesh-pink. 
The large, long-pomted buds open to cup-shaped 
flowers with a slight backward roll to the lip of 
each petal. Coloy is exquisite flesh-pink, lightened 
with rich coral on the reverse of the petals and a 
suspicion of salmon in the center of the bloom. 
Moderately fragrant. Borne singly on [ong stems, 
it is fine for cutting. The compact, vigorous 
growth makes it also fine as a bedding Rose. The 
foliage is large, bronze-green, and extremely 
disease-resistant. It is a steady doer and gives 
a profusion of blooms. Truly a bedding Rose 
that should be planted in masses. Almost as 
hardy as a Hybrid Perpetual, which figures 
prominently in its ancestry. $1 each. 


USE RED ARROW INSECT SPRAY to keep your 
Roses free from aphis and insects that injure the 
blooms. 1 oz. 35 cts. See First Aid Offer on yellow 
circular. 


*LADY ASHTOWN. H.T. Pink. See page 12 
for color illustration and special offer. The large, 
long-pointed buds open to brilliant, shining pink 
blooms with a golden underglow, unmatched 
in Rose colors. The center of the bloom 
is high and the outer petals recur! to make 
a unique, star-shaped bloom. Borne singly on 
Jong stems, they are fine for cutting and last 
well in the house. There is a slight fragrance. 
The plant is upright and bushy. It is a vigorous 
grower and extremely active, producing great 
quantities of blooms. The foliage is sufficient, 
but not abundant. While good at all times, It is 
especially glorious in midsummer and fall when 
the flowers are at their best. For those who are 
looking for an “easy-to-grow”’ variety, this is it. 
It has been popular almost everywhere for years. 
A splendid cut-flower. $1 each. 


* LADY HILLINGDON. T. Rich ochre-yellow, 
semi-double, cup-shaped blooms, sweetly scented. 
Holds its color well. Almost thornless; spread- 
ing bush. Blooms steadily but not profusely. 
Most popular among Tea Roses. $1 each. 


*LADY MARGARET STEWART. Pernet. 
~» Yellow. See illustration. The 1928 winner of 
the Gold Medal at Bagatelle, France—the 
most coveted prize in the Rose-world. This 
new honor places this Rose with the Rose 
aristocrats as it had already won the Gold 
Medal of the National Rose Society of Eng- 
land. The unusual color is best described as 
coming between tangerine-orange and the 
Indian-yellow and carmine of Rev. F. Page- 
Roberts. The pointed bud is deep orange, splashed 


| with scarlet, and opens in a large, full bloom of 


deep sunflower-yellow, the reverse of the petals 
heavily shaded orange-brown. A_ delightfully 
fragrant Rose that you can depend on for exhi- 
bition blooms. $1.25 each. 


*LADY URSULA. H.T. Flesh-pink. Flowers 
of fair size, light flesh-pink, full to the center, 
with shell-like petals reflexing from a delicately 
shaped bud. $1 each. 


*LI BURES. Pernet. Multicolor. See descrip- 
tion on page 26, and illustration in color on 
page 27. $1.50 each. 


*LOS ANGELES. Pernet. Salmon-pink. This 
Rose apparently thrives in some soils and under 
some conditions, for 1t does well with some of our 
customers and others after repeated trials have 
had to give it up. The color is a glowing 
salmon-pink, washed with gold at the base, and 
the perfume is entrancing though not strong. 
A Rose well worth trying. $1 each. 


* MME. BUTTERFLY. H.T. Tender pink, run- 
ning through salmon to cream and gold. Highly 
scented and very lasting when cut. $1 each.

*MME. EDOUARD HERRIOT. (The Daily 
Mail Rose.) Pernet. Coral-red. The long-pointed 
buds glow like dusky fire, and the newly opened 
blooms are a deep coral-red which soon changes 
to a pleasing orange-pink. Its fairly large, semi- 
double flowers are well formed in the early stage, 
but open quickly in an artistically disarranged 
fashion. An abundant bloomer, but the stems 
are rather short for cutting. Moderately fra- 
grant. The plant is vigorous and has a bushy, 
spreading habit which makes it a good bedding 
Rose. It is one of the earliest to bloom and con- 
tinues until hard frost. Hardy. See color illus- 
tration, page 12. $1 each. — 

*MME. JULES BOUCHE. H.T. White. The 
long-pointed buds open to very double, white 
flowers with a tinge of pink hemming the center 
petals. A tall, healthy plant. $1 each. 


* MAMA LAMESCH. H.T. Salmon-pink. 
We have at last found a worthy substitute 
for the temperamental but beautiful Los 
Angeles. The large, ovoid bud is very 
similar in color to Los Angeles, but the 
open bloom is fuller and holds its form 
better. There is a pleasing fragrance. The 
color is a glowing salmon-pink, faintly 
washed with lemon-yellow at the base. Its 
flower-stems are strong and hold up the 
heavy blooms without bending. In habit it 
is very good—upright and vigorous. It has 
large, glossy foliage which is quite persistent. 
Blooms abundantly and continuously. In 
all, it is one of the best varieties of the salmon- 
pink color. $1 each. 


*MARGARET McGREDY. Pernet. 
Orange-scarlet. See illustration. When a 
Rose is named for a member of the origi- 
nator’s family, it is generally a good one, and 
Margaret McGredy is no exception to the 
rule. A prolific producer of perfect, medium- 
sized blooms, regularly imbricated. The plant 
is also notable for its upright habit and beautiful, 
lasting foliage. Its large, long-pointed bud opens 
to a brilliant scarlet flower overlaid with orange- 
vermilion, and having a golden half-moon at the 
base of the petals, which makes a striking con- 
trast; as the flower ages, the various pigments 
mix into a uniform old-rose-pink. It is moder- 
ately fragrant. The flower-stems are stronger 
than most Roses of the orange-scarlet type. 
A really fre Rose. $1 each. 


*MARGUERITE CHAMBARD. H.T. New. 
Geranium-red, sometimes shaded with vermilion. 
See description on page 30. 


*MISS WILLMOTT. H.T. White. Big buds

tinted with pink, borne on long stems. Deli-

* MISS C. E. VAN ROSSEM. H.Ben. Crimson- 
scarlet. The medium-sized, long-pointed buds 
open to cupped blooms which are crimson-scarlet 
with carmine and black shading. The color 
darkens with age but never blues. Slightly fra- 
grant. As a bedding Rose it has no equal, throw- 
ing continually a great volume of blooms. The 
plant is compact and bushy, with a plentiful 
supply of small, healthy foliage. Because of its 
affiliation with the Bengal strain it is extreruely 


hardy. $1 each. 


Margaret McGredy. Orange-scarlet 


*MISS ROWENA THOM. H.T. Rose-pink. 
The large, ovoid buds open long and are beautifully 
pointed, expanding to perfect, double flowers of 
much substance which frequently open 5 inches 
across. It is a giant Rose, and we know none 
larger, not even the famous Paul Neyron. The 
color is brilliant, dark rose-pmk with a golden 
glow at the base of the petals, which suffuses 
the whole flower and intensifies the color as the 
blooms unfold. In vigorous habit of growth, 
freedom of bloom, and in adaptability to varied 
climatic conditions it promises to equal Roses of 
the Radiance type, while its flowers in form and 
size are on a par with the best high-class varieties 
of recent introduction. $1.50 each.

.T. >>> 


Two-tone salmon. Copper- 
red buds open to average-size 
flowers of a general salmon 
appearance. The reverse of the 
petals is a brilliant coppery car- 
mine. Its flowers open as a cup, 
with a few petals standing up 
inthe center. Later, during the 
heat of the day, these center 
petals become imbricated, to 
rise again toward evening when 
the whole bloom Is semi-closed, 
displaying at its best the two- 
tone effect. $1 each; 25 for $20.

Cerise-red. This is a sport and close 
companion to Radiance, with the same 
form, habit of growth, vigor, foliage, 
and resistance to disease. It has also 
the same exhilarating perfume but the 
color is different—a brilliant cerise-red 
which ts especially brilliant in lime soil. 
Plant clumps of these two Radiance 
Roses and no other part of your Rose 
collection will be more prosperously 
beautiful. $1 each; 25 for $20.

*Mrs. Aaron Ward. HT. 


In the gardens of Mrs. Aaron Ward 
herself, as a gift from Pernet-Ducher, 
the originator, appeared the first bed 
of this beautiful Rose over twenty 
years ago. Those of us who were 
privileged to see that close planted 
mass of Indian yellow buds, golden 
fawn, semi-open blooms and_ older 
flowers dropping creamy pink petals, 
never forget the magic sight. Time 
and again elsewhere has such a bed 
been duplicated and in each place the 
show Is repeated year after year. (See 
illustration.) The plant is of good 
form, low-growing, admirably suited 
to close planting in masses; the foliage, 
small and close set on the stem, is deep 
green and shiny; exceedingly healthy 
and the plant of an unusual hardiness. 
Does well in any location, but the 
blooms retain their beauty longer if 
partially shaded. $1 each; 12 for 
510.80; 100 for $80. 25 or more at

* MRS. HENRY MORSE. H.T. See color illus- 
tration on opposite page. If perfection did exist, 
we would nominate this Rose for “the” perfect 
two-tone pink—of the color-combination of 
Radiance at its best. The Jong-pointed, artistic 
bud becomes a large flower. Color is flesh-cream 
ground, with a sheen of bright rose, with clear 


vermilion veining on the petals. A long-lasting | 


bloom of great size, and pleasingly perfumed. 
Healthy and hardy bush, with small but sturdy 
foliage, it sends up bloom after bloom of high 
quality on Jong stems for cutting. The habit and 
characteristics of the plant have made it a Star 
Dozen Rose, while the form and quality of the 
blooms have made it a winner at Rose shows 
for years. $1 each. 


*MRS. LOVELL SWISHER. H.T. Pink. 

A long-pointed bud of very artistic form when 

the outer petals begin to unfurl. This Rose / 
could well be called an improved Los Angeles 
as it has overcome some of the many faults of 
that temperamental beauty. It will give, 
throughout the season, handsome, soft pink 
blooms tinted with salmon. Fragrant. $1 each. 


* MRS. PIERRE S. du PONT. H.T. Golden 
yellow. See in natural color on back cover. 
This is the “‘perpetual motion,” golden yel- 
low, perfumed Rose, seldom without buds or 
blooms from June till hard frost. In 1929 it won 
the Bagatelle Gold Medal,the highest honor obtain- 
able by an outdoor-grown Rose. It is a semi- 
double, cupped bloom which opens from a medi- 
um-sized, long-pointed bud. It is firm and very 
lasting, holding both form and color well. The 
bush is one of the neatest-growing Roses in the 
Hybrid Tea class. It does not get “Jeggy” but 
makes a lovely compact bush, and its golden yel- 
low blooms are almost as evenly placed as candles 
on a birthday cake. If you want just one dwarf 
free-flowering yellow Rose, this is the one. $3 ea. 


No. 26779 : June 14, 1030: 

I have had superlative results from the Roses purchased 
from you last season, the stock received from you being un- 
doubtedly the finest received from anyone. Mrs. Pierre S. 
du Pont is a marvelous thing.—C. V. C., Oakland, Calif. 


*MRS. WAKEFIELD CHRISTIE-MILLER. 
H.T. See illustration. A Hybrid Perpetual in 
robustness and hardiness, but a most prolific 
pink Hybrid Tea in habit—a rare combination 
that makes this Rose valuable everywhere, as 
it will survive severe winters and seems to revel 
in summer heat. It is so sturdy and dependable 
as to be a necessity in the garden. Its Iow habit 
makes it an ideal bedder, therefore plant it in 
masses. The sweetly perfumed bloom on a stocky 
stem is large, with a heavy tuft of petals that 
looks as if thrown in, thus giving an artistic touch. 
In color it is bright rosy pink, holding well. The 
plant is well clothed with healthy foliage. It 
is becommg more popular each year. $1 each. 


*MRS. WARREN E. LENON. H.T. Rich 
pink. A splendid new Rose, remarkable for its 
vigor of growth and disease-resistant foliage. 
The color of the large, well-formed flowers is 
rich cerise-pink which does not get muddy. 
Long-stemmed blooms for cutting are produced 
almost continuously from June until well into 
November. A notable and pleasing feature is the 
length of time the blooms hold their shape and 
color when cut in the half-open stage. A great 
Rose for the amateur. $1 each.

*xNUNTIUS PACELLI. H.T. Snow-white. An 
excellent white bedding Rose. It Is nearly a con- 
tinuous performer, sending bloom after bloom, 
often singly, but sometimes three or four on a 
spike. The bud ts creamy and, when opened, the 
center of the double bloom shows a creamy tint 
which Jater turns to pure white. Its petals are of 
great substance, unaffected by sun or rain, and 
the purity of the white is retained to the end. It 
Is very fragrant, a rare quality among white 
Roses. The plant is vigorous, of medium height, 
hardy, and the foliage ample and healthy. It is 
distinctly different from Kaiserin Auguste Vik- 
toria, and more vigorous. One of the best white 


Roses. $1.50 each.

* OPHELIA. H.T. Pearl-pink. See illustration. 
Ophelia is rich in tints of pearl-pmk and gold, 
developing to creamy white. Many of our newer 
and better Roses are descendants of this wonder- 
ful “Mother” of Roses. Ophelia has much to 
recommend it in growth, foliage, and flower. It 
still retains its popularity as a cut-flower Rose, 
and makes its best blooms im the fall, when the 
immense buds open slowly and maintain their 
beauty for a long time. $1 each. 


* PADRE. Pernet. Large scarlet blooms, with 
a suffusion of copper that gives it a unique, 
brilliant tonality. A slight tinge of yellow at the 
base of the petal adds to its attraction. The long- 
pointed buds are handsome, especially when the 
outer petals begin to unfurl into semi-single 
flowers, borne in light clusters on tall candelabra. 
Being a tall grower, it should be planted at the 
rear of Rose-beds. $1 each.

*PAX LABOR. H.T. Pale yellow. This Rose 
fits in when arranging a bed of varieties ranging 
from light to dark yellow. The bud is orange- 
gold color, with a tinge of carmine on the edges 
of the petals, and the open flower is large, full, 
and globular, very lasting when cut. Color is pale 
golden yellow, passing to sulphur-yellow when 
fully open. Blooms come freely in June and again 
in the fall on vigorous, upright-growmg plants. 
Foliage 1s large, glossy, and disease-resistant. An 
exceptionally fine Rose. $1.25 each. 


* PRINCESS ELIZABETH OF GREECE. H.T. 
Copper. An erect-growing Rose making rich- 
colored, firm blooms suitable for cutting. The 
handsome bud is burnt-orange color, slowly 
evolving to a coppery colored bloom of large ; Size. 
Its foliage is disease-resistant, and the plant is 
unusually hardy. $1.50 each. 


* RADIANCE. H.T. Two-tone pink. The most 
popular American Rose. It was originated in 
America and seems to embody practically every- 
thing needed in a Rose for this country. It gives 
abundant satisfaction In a greater diversity of 
climates and in more sections of America than any 
other Rose. Its bold flowers are produced almost 
without interruption from June until hard frost on 
a hearty, healthy, almost disease-proof bush such 
as all Rose-hybridizers desire for their own crea- 
tions. This 1s the amateur’s Rose par excellence, 
as It will grow and bloom freely mn locations where 


more temperamental beauties would fail. Shown 
in natural colors on page 21. $1 each. 
*RAPTURE. H.T. Pink and coral. An im- 


proved sport of Mme. Butterfly. The color of 
Rapture is better and more lasting than 
Mme. Butterfly; it has a few more petals, 
and in the autumn the tints of yellow, pink, 
and coral on a cream background are glor- 
ious. Like its parent in habit of growth, with 
long, strong stems making it a choice Rose 
for cutting. $1.25 each. 

*RED RADIANCE. H.T. Cerise-red. Vigorous 
sport of Radiance, sometimes surpassing Its 
parent in growth. A consistently dependable 
Rose. See in color on page 21. $1 each.

Everblooming Roses, New and Rare 


SEE DESCRIPTIONS BELOW AND ON THE FOLLOWING THREE PAGES 


Romance among the Roses ts sprinkled thickly through this chapter, and here we share 
with you the best fruits of our pursuit after the most charming, most fascinating, and, at 
the same time, the most gratifying of the World’s Rose Debutantes. 


The beginnings of our experiences with some of these novelties date back perhaps a 
dozen years. On pages 8 and 9 of this Catalog you will see that we not only maintain here 
a school for young Roses where all sorts of novelties are tested and trained for better con- 
duct, but we do much more than that. We are persistently on the lookout for, and have 
coming to our testing-grounds here a constant succession of new candidates, each one to 
be placed under observation, and finally presented to the American people, if and when found 
fit and fine. 


Yes, you guess right; that testing-ground is the most interesting spot In our entire 
Nursery—even more so than. the Rose-garden itself. But our interests and activities, 
while focusing there, also reach out to dozens of testing-grounds of Rose-originators whose 
work in Europe is going forward so notably. 


Indeed leading hybridizers of Europe have made many contributions to these pages. 
Personal inspection in their test-gardens and in the national testing-grounds of France and 
England, Germany and Spain, on recent comprehensive trips abroad have given us the 
““close-ups”’ on the best of Europe’s latest sorts. For many of these we have the great honor 


of being the introducers into the United States. 
Unless otherwise stated, all here have come successfully through our own Star Standard 


LESUS: 


They are described as we have seen them, not as single plants, but as we have grown them 
by the hundreds and thousands. Try a few novelties this year. There are few thrills in 
gardening more entrancing than watching new Roses unfold.

*xCHARLES P. KILHAM. Pernet. A perfected 
Mme. Edouard Herriot, a Rose which, while re- 
taining Herriot’s brilliant coral-red and orange 
colors, has a better form, more petals, borne on 
long stems for cutting, a better habit with larger 
and more persistent foliage. It is also slightly 
fragrant. The plant is somewhat divergent in 
growth, which tmproves its utility as a bedding 
variety. $1.50 each. 


*MARI DOT. Pernet. Unique in color. The 
pointed bud is deep apricot, darkened with 
orange. It opens slowly to a double, regularly 
imbricated bloom of a uniform apricot without 
shading, showing golden stamens on maroon 
filaments in the center. The perfume ts delight- 
ful, with a sweetness all its own. In Philadelphia, 
June 12, 1929, the Pennsylvania Horticultural 
Society awarded the Robert C. Wright Rose 
Medal to Mari Dot. $1.50 each. 


* JOYOUS CAVALIER. H.T.- The plant is 
vigorous and bushy, rather tall-growing, almost 
shrub-like, somewhat in the order of Gruss an 
Teplitz. Its blooms, generally solitary, standing 
erect on Jong stems for cuttings are semi-double, 
of a jolly red that does not blue. Delicately fra- 
grant. The continuous bloom on the plants in our 
fields proves this an ideal variety for group plant- 
ing where a bright color is desired throughout 
the season. $1.50 each. 


*LI BURES. Pernet. The bud first shows ma- 
roon, gradually lightened with orange and yellow 
as the flower expands. As a moving panorama, 
these tints blend into new ones until toward the 
end when the outer petals assume a velvety 
purple-crimson while the center becomes old-rose 
suffused with yellow. Distinctly fragrant. Plant 
vigorous, upright, and bushy, with strong, holly- 
like, disease-resistant foliage. $1.50 each.

Buds are globular but unfold regu-

the sun. The stems are Jong and 
firm, a necessary feature for cutting. 
One of the few red varieties giving 
good blooms in summer, although 
at that season the color is not quite 
so rich. This splendid red Rose is 
fme for bedding, for it is one of the 
hardiest of the Hybrid Tea Class. 
A tall, upright grower, it is the only 
variety of that deep color that can 
be planted with Radiance where uni- 
form effect is desired. $1 each; 12 for

Star Roses in Wyoming Where Winters Are Severe 
May 13, 1030 

Gentlemen: I wish to let you know that I have had extremely good luck 
with Roses from your gardens. No bush ever yielded less than 12 perfect 
Roses, and Jast year one bush produced 42 fine specimens, each on a separate 
stem from 9 to 24 inches long. 

I am only an amateur, of course, but I feel sure this Is a fine record from 
a place where north winds blow hard and often, and the ground its frozen | 
at least 2 feet down for three months in the winter.—W. S., Newcastle, Wyo. 


*Souvenir 


de Claudius Pernet. 
PERNET. 


Flowers of the most striking 
sunflower-yellow, with the re- 
curving outer petals becoming 
cream with sharp demarcations; 

very large and full, beauti- 

fully formed, with elongated 
thick petals. A Rose that 
should be cut in the bud 
and taken to the house to 
enjoy its beauty and last- 
ingness. Left on the 
plant, blooms deteriorate 
more rapidly and are 
easily marred by rain or 
heavy dew, while the sun 
“eatsitup.” Does not give its 
best blooms until the weather 
has become permanently warm. 
If disbudded to one bloom per 
stem and “‘fed,”’ it will give ex- 
hibition blooms of great beauty.

*AMIL. CRETTE. H.T. (C. Chambard, 1930; 
introduced in U. S. by The Conard-Pyle Co.) 
Rose-red. This is a distinct bedding Rose. The 
bud is very attractive when its wavy petals reflex 
and show bright rose-red, blending to rose-pink 
with yellow at the base, the reverses being light 
coral-rose and yellow. Semi-double blooms come 
cupped and colored crimson in hot weather; re- 
verses have an egg-shell finish. Generally, several 
blooms appear at the end of each long, husky 
stem. Abundant leathery foliage covers the 
thorny canes up to the flowers themselves. 
Growth is upright, branching, and vigorous. A 
prolific variety, beautifully tinted. $3 each. 


*AMI QUINARD. H.T. Maroon. See descrip- 


tion and color illustration on mside front cover. 


*DIANE DE BROGLIE. H.T. (C. Chambard, 
1929; introduced and offered exclusively in U. S. 
by The Conard-Pyle Co.) Geranium-pink. The 
novel color of this Rose is its great attraction, and 
it blooms so freely that it has a great future before 
it as a tall-growmg bedding variety. The long- 
shaped buds are very beautiful, coral color, some- 
times flaked with pink on a golden base. When 
opening, the outside petals are geranium-pink 
with the mside hydrangea-pink. The 
flowers, which are borne on sturdy, up- 
right stems, are large, double, moderately 
fragrant, and very lasting when cut. 
Foliage is large, shiny dark green, and 
disease-resistant. This exquisitely colored 
Rose was awarded the Grand Gold Medal 
of the King at the International Contest } 
of New Roses, Pedralbes, - Barcelona, 
Spain, in 1929. $3 each. 


*DIRECTOR RUBIO. H.T. Cochi-

E.G. HILL. Horak G. Aill’Co., 
1929.) Crimson-scarlet. The illustration 
shows the perfect formation of this beau- 
tiful red Rose, which makes one of the 
largest and most perfect flowers in this 
color for cutting. Each enchanting, 
delightfully fragrant bloom comes singly 
on an erect, heavy pedicel which ts such an 
important requisite in a cut-flower Rose. Abun- 
dance of bloom throughout the entire growing 
season Is one of its grand characteristics and practi- 
cally every Rose is without a flaw. The color ts 
crimson with a scarlet glow that shows little ten- 
dency to fade or blue like many of the old-time 
reds. Its foliage is large and, in our experience, it 
has proved absolutely free from mildew and black- 
spot. It had to be good to be worthy of being 
named for Mr. E. G. Hill, the dean of American 
Rose-hybridizers. $2 each.

* FEDERICO CASAS. H.T. (P. Dot, 1929; in- 
troduced in U. S. by The Conard-Pyle Co.) Cop- 
pery orange. This beautiful Rose of warm color 
comes, appropriately, from sunny Spain. We 
have found in our test-garden that the very large, 
semi-double, coppery orange blooms are pleasingly 
fragrant. They come on erect pedicels on vigor- 
ous-growing bushes, with abundant foliage, and 
are very lasting when cut. In the autumn, fuller 
blooms are produced. $3 each. 


*FRAU DR. SCHRICKER. H.Ben.  (Fel- 
berg-Leclerc, 1927.) Carmine. The Bengal blood 
i this Rose gives it greater hardiness than the 
Hybrid Teas, so this recommends it to people in 
the North who want a continuous-flowering Rose 
that is hardy. The luminous, carmine-red flowers 
are of medium size but well formed. They come 
abundantly throughout the entire season. Fra- 
grance also noteworthy. $3 each. 


* JOANNA HILL. H.T. Yellow. This perfectly 
formed Rose makes long, shapely buds of orange- 
yellow that open to Iarge, double flowers with an 
orange center, paling to cream color at the edges 


of the petals. $1.50 each. 


* JULIEN POTIN. Pernet. Golden yellow. This 
Rose is known to many as “Golden Pernet.”’ In 
color it resembles the vivid buttercup-yellow 
Ville de Paris, but the blooms are larger and have 
twice as many petals. Long, sturdy pedicels and 
a moderately vigorous bush. $1.50 each.

Syracuse Rose has been named in honor of the 
city of Syracuse, N. Y. In the tight bud, this

more waving petals and a large, firm cone in the

large in size and very double; even the heart of 
the bloom is chock-full of petals. The outer petals 
recurve and give the bloom the appearance of a 
great scarlet-crimson ball. Because of the heavy 
petalage, the blooms last unusually long and the 
brilliant color holds equally well. There is a mild 
fragrance. $5 each.

STAR GUIDE TO GOOD ROSES we 


Choice Hybrid Perpetuals for 1931 


The best of a class of super Roses—superior as to size, fragrance, 
hardiness, intensity of color, and abundance of June bloom 


Hybrid Perpetuals as a class have many features and excellent qualities which have never been success- 
fully Bed into the more delicate and refined Hybrid Teas. Before the development of the persistent-bloom- 
ing Hybrid Teas, the Hybrid Perpetuals were the most popular Roses. So beautiful was the first of the race 
that it was called ‘Rose du Roi’’ (The King’s Rose) and the next in line was the “‘Rose de Ja Reine’”’ (The 
Queen’s Rose). 

Indeed, the qualities of this royal line entitle them to a place in any Rose-garden. No attempt should be 
made to compare them point for point with the Hybrid Teas, but, rather, they should be grouped sepa- 
rately, thus taking full advantage of their unique qualities. 

The plants grow to an average height of 3 to 5 feet, making an excellent Rose for various heights of 
borders or backgrounds. The quality and amount of bloom are more gratifying asthe plantsage. They require 
much less attention than the Hybrid Teas, and are absolutely hardy in cold climates without protection. 
Partial shade is a most satisfactory location for them in the warmer climates. They are designated as ‘“‘Per- 
petual” and, indeed, they are Jong lived. Their chief blooming period, however, extends over a few weeks 
only in spring or early summer. This glorious burst of bloom alone would be well worth waiting for, but that 
is not all because most of them, and especially the newer ones, if given the least care and properly pruned by 
cutting the bloom-shoots back to two eyes as soon as the June flowers are over, will show their gratitude by a 
recurrence of magnificent Roses in the fall. 

The following Novelties have been selected from among the new introductions after severe testing.

* Red Frau Karl Druschki or Druschkt Rubra ¢. Lambert, 1929) 


See illustration in color on inside back cover. Introduced in America by The Conard-Pyle Co., fall, 1929 


A worthy mate for the world-famous, snow-white Rose, Frau Karl Druschki, this splendid, vigorous, 
and free-blooming red variety is the handiwork of the mazter hybridizer whose fame was established by 
Frau Karl Druschki. For years Herr Lambert had been working to produce a red Druschki. He has suc- 
ceeded with Druschki Rubra, which is a hybrid of Frau Karl Druschki and American Beauty. 

The bud and bloom have the same form and size as Frau Karl Druschki, and the color is a dulJ—the 
furniture man would say “‘egg-shell finish’’—crimson lightening to scarlet around the edges of the petals. 
Especially pleasing is the fact that American Beauty has also transmitted its delightful perfume. 

The habit of the plant is very similar to Frau Karl Druschki although perhaps not quite as vigorous, but 
its foliage is better and less subject to mildew, and it has the same recurrence of bloom. 

Druschki Rubra is a notable advent in the Rose world and will soon rival the popularity of its dis- 
tinguished parents. $2 each.

Hybrid Perpetuals, continued 


Like the Hybrid Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals must be rejuvenated each year by proper pruning. This means 
cutting out at the base all wood over one year old, or two at the most, the remaining canes being shortened, 
bearing in mind that the lower the cut, the more beautiful the blooms will be. Some even suggest cutting 
about 15 inches from the ground for vigorous varieties, and 8 to 10 inches for less rampant ones. So 


treated, when in bloom each plant will be a gigantic bouquet. 


*xANNA DE DIESBACH (Gloire de Paris). Car- 
mine-pink of a beautiful shade; flowers are extra 
large, full, and very sweet. The plant is vigorous, 
very hardy, and blooms profusely in June. If the 
flowers are picked with Iong stems and the bloom- 
stems are pruned low, it will likely bloom again in the 
fall. Enormous, double-hearted flowers can often 
be picked from this glorious old Rose. A variety 
especially adapted for growing in the North. $1 each. 


*ANNIE CRAWFORD. Bright pink. Vigorous- 
growing and an almost continuous bloomer in bright 
pink with deeper veins; sweetly perfumed. Blooms 
in clusters, but if disbudded, the remaining buds 
will attain very large size. Has Jong stems, excellent 
for cutting. Specially adapted to form hedges, or as 
a mate to Gruss an Teplitz. $1 each. 


*GENERAL JACQUEMINOT. Clear red. Stan- 
dard of color for years, the clear red is just as 
bright today as seventy years ago. The plant is 
very hardy, but needs quite careful attention in 
thinning and pruning if the _ best-formed frag- 
rant flowers are wanted, but many people let it 
row at will and make a big, brave bush that 
lazes like a bon- 
fire. Blooms in 
June and some- 
times again. $1 ea.

Continued on next page 


*FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. See illustration. 
Universally acclaimed as one of the best white Roses 
in existence. It is snow-white. Its buds are un- 
usually long for its class and are often shaded pink, 
but they open into immense and perfectly double 
flowers often more than 4 inches across, and with 
waxy petals that are very durable, but, unfortu- 
nately, scentless. If disbudded, the flowers which are 
allowed to mature will prove an immense satis- 
faction. The plant is a strong and vigorous grower, 
making branches from six to eight feet high in a 
season. Care should be taken to check its tendency 
to mildew. It does best with but moderate pruning, 
and it has the admirable habit of blooming almost 
continually when once established, so that it is 
dependable for white Roses from early June until 
frost. Many candidates for its place have appeared, 
only to increase the continued popularity of this 
great variety. $1 each. 


*GLOIRE DE CHEDANE-GUINOISSEAU. Ver- 
milion-crimson. Long buds and open, full, large 
blooms, perfectly formed and deliciously fragrant. 
Color is vermilion-crimson, turning to pure crimson- 
red. The bush is compact and not so exuberant in 
growth as some other Hybrid Perpetuals. In form, 
the bloom is ideal and it lasts long when cut. Grow 
this Rose to produce prize-winning blooms at your 
local flower show. $1 each. 


*HENRY NEVARD. New. Crimson- 
scarlet. See illustration in color on 
inside back cover. The large, ovoid 
bud becomes an extremely double, per- 
fect bloom of old-fashioned form. It ts 
very lasting and unusually fragrant. 
The foliage is abundant and a beautiful 
dark green, making a splendid setting 
for the big red blooms. If pruned short 
in the spring and the blooms cut with 
Tong stems, it will be an almost con- 
tinuous bloomer. It sometimes mil- 
dews in late autumn, but is well 
worth protecting. An example of a 
greatly improved modern Hybrid 
Perpetual. $1.50 each.

some varieties will bloom again. The more vigorous sorts make splendid 5 to 7-foot pillars, or can be 
trained fan-shape on a fence or on a wide trellis to screen off an unsightly object. But all these ‘Old Guards” 
are vigorous enough to make them dependable and desirable whether it calls for facing the extreme cold of 
the North or the heat of the South. The adverse conditions and diseases which sometimes attack the less- 
sturdy Hybrid Teas, and especially the Pernetianas, hold no terror for the glorious blooming Hybrid

*Schoener’s Nutkana. H-Species 
Rev. George M. A. Schoener, Santa Barbara, Calif., 1930. Introduced, fall, 1930, by The Conard-Pyle Co. 


In general, Rose-hybridizing has been following 
rather conventional lines, but in this new shrub Rose 
the beginning of an entirely new race of Roses is 
brought to light. Schoener’s Nutkana is an American 
origination, a cross of the wild species Nutkana with 
Paul Neyron (H.P.). Nutkana is native of north- 
western America and is the largest flowering species 
in that section. An issue from such a parent, there- 
fore, is not only super-hardy but truly 
American in blood and_ especially 
suited to cultivation in this country. 
e Clergymen have always been promi- 
~2 hent in Rose-culture, but probably 
none in this country has made as 
thorough a study of the science of 
Rose-hybridization as the untuing 
Father Schoener. His hybrid is a 
shrub Rose, or may even be trained as 
a pillar when the plant matures. Late 
in May, large, single blooms and sharply pointed 
buds, colored clear rose-pink, literally envelop the 
plant. No other Rose of this type produces such a 
glorious abundance of blooms. As several blossoms 
appear In succession on each flowering stem, the 
plants are bright with blooms during four weeks or 


Schoener’s Nutkana 


* BIRDIE BLYE. H.Mult. Rose-pink. Probably the most 
persistent and abundant bloomer of any Rose we offer. A 
Dr. Van Fleet creation which makes friends everywhere. 
Really an everblooming shrub Rose 3 to 4 and often 5 feet 
high. It produces a profusion of clusters of Iong-pointed, 
carmine buds, which open to fragrant, rose-pink flowers. 
Especially good in the North. $1 each. 


*NUR MAHAL. (The Light of Palaces.) H.Moschata. 
Crimson. A vigorous, everblooming shrub Rose which can 
also be trained on a fence or fan-shaped on a trellis. The semi- 
double, musk-scented flowers bloom in clusters from May to 
November. It requires little pruning. $1.50 each. 


*PROSPERITY. H.Moschata. Grows 6 to 8 feet high. 
Hardy as an oak, It Is a joy to us all summer, for the pink- 
tinted buds and white flowers keep coming in fragrant 
clusters all the growing season. An unusually continuous 
semi-climber or pillar. $1.50 each.

Best of the old favorite golden yellow Roses. The semi-

while occasionally they are all red. It

*CRESTED MOSS (Chapeau de Napoleon). 
H.Moss. The nickname of this Rose was naturally 
suggested by the resemblance of the unopened bud to the 
three-cornered hat of Napoleon. Its sepals have a pecu-

CONTINUOUS-BLOOMING 
Hardy Polyantha or Pompon Roses 


One cannot resist being enthusiastic over these Roses. They are hardy, low in growth, continuous 
in bloom, and, once planted, increase in beauty yearly. All are suitable for bordering paths or for 
planting in front of taller shrub Roses such as Rugosas. When massed in front of evergreens, they 
are delightfully brilliant. One of our friends planted a solid Iine of Polyanthas each side of his drive- 
way and it was, throughout the season, “the talk of his neighborhood.” Fountains are made more 
attractive when surrounded with Polyanthas. Many persons have learned to plant these more appro- 


priate bedding Roses instead of geraniums. 


*EBLOUISSANT. Crimson. Dwarf in growth and 
excellent for edging. The truly dazzling flowers are 
intense, rich, velvety crimson, which does not blue 
and are shaped like a cactus dahlia. One of the 
lowest-growing Polyanthas, and as such it has many 
uses. $1 each. 


¥% ELLEN POULSEN. Rose-pink. The most effec- 
tive of the larger type of pink Polyanthas, with 
brilliant flowers larger than most of them. It makes 
a lively border. Planted around evergreens, the con- 
trast of colors is artistic and restful to the eye, 
besides serving the utilitarian purpose of hiding the 
bare base of the plants and protecting them from 
animals. $1 each. 


*%*ELSE POULSEN. Rose-pink. Vigorous in 
growth, reaching 21% feet in height, and noted for its 
very lasting bright rose-pink flowers which are borne 
in brilliant clusters. Makes a lovely low hedge or 
ee in bloom all the growing season. $1 
each. 


* GOLDEN SALMON. Salmon. The brightest 
bedding Rose among recent novelties. In color it is 
rich golden salmon with a light center—something 
distinctly different. Medium- to large-sized flowers 
are produced in trusses of intense beauty. Cut off 
the old flower-heads as soon as they are spent 
because the faded color is unpleasant. $1 each. 


¥*KATHARINA ZEIMET. White. The only white 
Polyantha Rose we offer, but one of the best whites, 
borne in fragrant clusters of 25 or more blooms which 
come all season. $1 each. 


*% KIRSTEN POULSEN. Scarlet. An unusually 
tall (3 to 4 feet) grower for the class. It seems to be 
the shrub form of the bright “Poppy of Flanders 
Fields,’? with small sprays of vivid scarlet, fluffy, 
single blooms waving in the breeze. Flowers of long 
duration. Makes an exquisite low hedge. $1 each. 


Wk LAFAYETTE. Cerise. A large-flowering Poly- 
antha, sending out big heads of twenty-five or more 
long-lasting blooms, each 21% inches across, of a 
brilliant cerise, eventually paling to deep pink. The 
plant is bushy, of an even growth, rarely over 15 
inches high. A border or bed of it will seldom be out 
of bloom. Makes a brilliant show all season. $1 each. 


%SALMON SPRAY. Salmon. An _ interesting 
novelty from Australia. This is one of the best cf 
the taller-growing Polyanthas, and the color is very 
soft and pleasing. Rich salmon-pink flowers, 2 to 3 
inches across, are produced continuously in great 
heads of ten to twenty, lasting a Jong time without 
discoloration. It makes a much stronger growth 
than almost any other Polyantha and reaches a 
height of 3 feet or more. Ideal for specimen use in a 
shrub border. $1.25 each. 


4 Continuous-Blooming Hardy Roses for $3 (See Opposite Page) 


*MLLE. CECILE BRUNNER (Sweetheart). Sea- 
shell-pink. Sprays of rich rosy pink “baby’’ buds, 
which open into lovely, perfectly double, miniature 
flowers of seashell-pink. From this Rose you can 
have flowers all season for bouquets or boutonniéres. 
It is intensely fragrant. Hardy mm exposed locations. 
This dainty “‘baby’’ Rose has the same attractive 
qualities in a garden as a baby in a roomful of 
relatives. Florists use quantities of this Rose in 
dainty bouquets. $1 each. 


%CHATILLON. Clear pink. See opposite page. 
Without doubt the finest of all pink Polyanthas, and 
the one best adapted to various requirements, such 
as a low hedge, for lining a driveway, or mass plant- 
ing as a hardy substitute for the ephemeral geranium. 
Makes really gigantic trusses of very lasting and 
pleasing silvery pink flowers. A flower show in itself 
for weeks at a time. Recommended for cemetery 
planting because of its hardiness, freedom of bloom, 
lovely color, and tidy habit of growth. It ts also a 
fine Rose for cutting as it lasts well inside. $1 each. 


* IDEAL. Garnet. This dwarf Polyantha has great 
merit. Vivid, rich, Justrous garnet blooms are borne 
in profusion all summer Jong. The flowers are pro- 
duced in immense clusters, which fact makes it 
“deal’’ for mass plantings. The blossoms are darker 
and more double than others of this type. They hold 
their color well and do not burn in the sun. Cut 
off the old flower-heads as soon as they are spent, 
and new flowering branches will make another great 
crop of bloom. $1 each. 


%GRUSS AN AACHEN. Ben.-Bour. White to 
carmine. For years this large, everblooming bedding 
Rose has been called a ‘‘Polyantha.’’ We have been 
able to ascertain its Imeage as a hybrid of the two 
extremely hardy strains Bengal and Bourbon, hence 
its unusual robustness. A splendid bedding or border 
variety. It makes more nearly a mass effect in 
bloom than any other low-growing type of light 
color, with an assemblage of carmine, yellow, fawn, 
and white shades. Blooms are Jarge and full. In the 
fall the colors are fascinating. $1 each.

*Rosa Hugonis 
“THE GOLDEN ROSE OF CHINA” 


The aristocrat of hardy flowering hedge plants 


The Arnold Arboretum, Boston, Mass., con- 
tains the greatest collection of woody flowering 
piants in this country. The late Dr. E. H. 
Wilson, its former Keeper, said: ‘‘As to the 
Rosa Hugonis, it should be in every garden, for 
it is the best of all hardy yellow-flowering Roses, 
and one of the most lovely plants known.”’ 


The extreme hardiness of this ‘“‘Golden 
Rose of China,”’ its habit of blooming early in 
May, sometimes when snow is on the ground, 
and the long wands of fairy-like blossoms pro- 
duced every year, all go to make Hugonis one 
of the most valued shrub Roses obtainable. 
When fully grown it is about 6 feet in height, 
with graceful, arching branches that are com- 
pletely covered with bloom to the very tips in 
early May, followed by quantities of orna- 
mental red fruits in July and August. 

This beautiful shrub Rose, with its dainty 
foliage and graceful growth, makes a dis- 
tinctive and almost impenetrable hedge on 
account of its thick growth and spiny thorns. 
Nothing more beautiful can be tmagined than 
a hedge of Rosa Hugonis in full bloom. It is 
lovely and requires no support. Plan for a 
hedge of this fairy-ltke Rose. Set the plants 
114 to 2 feet apart. It is hardy m Alaska, 
requires no attention, and blooms best when 
planted in unfertilized soil with, perbaps, some 
coal-ashes or bonemeal added. If fed too richly, 
Hugonis may not bloom. 


Price, $1 each; 10 for $9; 25 for $20; 100 for $80.

I cannot refrain from writing to you 
to express my appreciation of the kind 
of plants you sent. I ordered Rose 
bushes from three companies, exclu- 
sive of your own, this spring, and the 
plants received from all three showed 
no comparison whatever with the

They are, without a doubt, the finest

STAR GUIDE TO GOOD ROSES 


Oak-Hardy Hybrid Rugosa Roses 


FOR HEDGES TO ENCLOSE ROSE-GARDENS, ETC. 


Rugosa Roses in their original form are the only absolutely hardy “everblooming” Roses. They 
are very spiny, growing vigorously from 4 to 10 feet high. The foliage is curiously wrinkled, or rugose— 
hence the name. Being thoroughly hardy, they will grow almost anywhere—even on barren, wind- 
swept slopes and in seashore sand. They make beautiful specimens when planted alone or among 
shrubs, and the large red seed-hips, or “apples,” which follow the flowers are very ornamental. 


* AGNES. Yellow. A worthy yellow Rugosa with crinkled foliage. Papa 
Its buttercup-yellow buds open to full, large blooms of fawn color y 


a 


and fruity fragrance. Makes large bushes or may be trained as 


pillars. $1 each. 


+ AMELIE GRAVEREAUX. Crimson. Immense bouquets 


of large, full blooms, brilliant scarlet-crimson in 
color and of true old-rose perfume. It may be 
trained as a climber, pillar, or shrub Rose. 
The foliage is more refined than the type, 
and it amply clothes the plant. $1.25 each. 


*BLANC DOUBLE DE COUBERT. 
White. A magnificent, double, pure white, 
and very fragrant Hybrid Rugosa which 
blooms throughout summer and fall. As 
it grows to about 4 feet, it easily makes a 
low and very lovely white-flowering hedge 
of real distinction. When thoroughly 
established it sends up many strong canes 
at some distance from the plant, which if 
removed and headed back can be devel- 
oped into really successful everblooming 
perfectly hardy tree Roses. $1 each. 


*CONRAD F. MEYER. Silvery pink. 
One of the finest of the Hybrid Rugosas, 
producing very fragrant, silvery pink flow- 
ers of large size, equal to Hybrid Per- 
petuals in form. It blooms heavily in June 
and occasionally thereafter. The bush is 
extremely vigorous—give it plenty of 
room, at least 3 feet on every side. Its 6- 
to 10-foot canes may easily be trained 
against a building, over an archway, or 
spread, fan-like, on a trellis as we have it 
im our Rose-garden. Does not bloom until 
the second year after planting. The foliage differs 
from the type in being less corrugated and tinted 
with bronze. The best-known and most freely 
planted of the large, double-flowered Rugosa 
Hybrids, for the blooms are extra fine. See illustra- 
tion. $1 each. 


*DR. ECKENER. New. Spinel pink. We ob- 
served this Rose most particularly in our trial- 
grounds and fields last season because it is said to 
bloom yellow im its native Germany, but here the 
color is pink with a golden yellow base. The sweetly 
perfumed blooms open in a wide cup, almost 4 inches 
across, and the spinel pink color is enchanting. The 
plant grows 4 feet high and the foliage is large, 
leathery, and noticeably healthy. A truly fine ac- 
quisition that may bloom yellow in some localities 
or when the plant becomes acclimated. $2 each. 


* MAX GRAF. Pink. A trailing Rugosa for em- 
bankments. See description on page 42. 


* ROSE A PARFUM DE L’HAY. Bears quantities 
of very large, globular, double flowers colored dark 
crimson and shaded with carmine. As the name 
suggests, the blossoms are very fragrant. $1 each. 


Conrad F. Meyer. Grows 10 feet. Blooms profusely 
*F. J. GROOTENDORST. Crimson. A remark- 
able combination of the Baby Rambler or Polyantha 
class with the rugosa. Small, bright crimson flowers, 
fringed and double, are produced freely and con- 
tinuously 1m large bunches through spring, summer, 
and fall—it is continually in bloom. An ideal hedge 
plant which can be kept at any height under 5 feet. 
Does its best when severely pruned each year, leav- 
ing only the wood formed the previous season. 


$1 each. 


* RUSKIN. New. Deep crimson. Buds like those 
of a Hybrid Perpetual, developing into large, double, 
deep crimson flowers of about 50 petals, with 
Rugosa-like fragrance and excellent lasting quality. 
It blooms abundantly in June, and moderately 
thereafter. It makes a tall pillar and is entirely 
hardy. $1.50 each. 


%*TURKES RUGOSA. Silvery pink. The bud is 
strongly marked with Indian yellow at the base, and 
the open bloom is identical with Conrad F. Meyer, 
but possibly more fragrant; plant and foliage also the 
same. It blooms intermittently throughout the season, 
with a renewed energy in the fall. $1 each.

Hardy Climbing Roses 


DAME NATURE’S LOVELIEST AND MOST BOUNTEOUS GIFT 


It seems to be the irony of fate that the loveliest things are the most difficult to obtain, but with 
Hardy Climbing Roses, Nature has reversed herself and simply gives the greatest wealth of bloom 
obtainable in the Rose-world to anyone who will go to the slight trouble of planting a few Climbing 
Roses, for they practically take care of themselves and give masses of bloom unexcelled in beauty by 
any other flowering plant. 

Miles of Climbing Roses are now beautifying the highways, in addition to the ingenious ways they 
are used around homes on arches, pillars, pergolas, and framing Rose-gardens, as in the illustration 
below and on the following pages. ; 

You can plant, grow, and get bushels of bloom from a Climbing Rose if you have a piece of ground as big 
as your writing-desk where the sun will shine at Ieast 3 to 4 hours daily. Plant it at a pillar, spend a few 
minutes tying It up, and every year get a result as shown on page 42. 

In this class there are four distinct types that are suitable for very different uses, and we have keye 
them in our descriptions so you can select properly for the purpose you have in view. 

The classifications are Climbers, Ramblers, Pillars and Ground-Covers. Explanation of these types is 
given below. 


Climbers (C) are those vigorous varieties, gener- | they must be renovated each year, the blooming 
ally with large blooms and massive canes, starting | canes being cut off at the base, and the new growths 
again each year along the top of the previous year’s | (from the base) trained again on the support. This is 
growth as if to go up another story. These are spe- | best done in midsummer, right after the bloom, 
cially good for tall walls, houses, top of pergclas,sum- | except that those bearing attractive hips are better 
mer-houses, wide arches, over old trees, as festooned | pruned in winter. 
along top of porches, or any support that can take Pillars (P). These may often be used as large 
care of the permanency of wood andannual increase in | shrubs, but are mainly intended to be trained on a 
height or length. Pruning of this class is unnecessary | 6 to 8-foot post, or trained like a fan on a fence or on 
bevond removing dead wood and surplus growth. a wide trellis to make a screen. 


_Ramblers (R) are those of slender, wiliowy growth, Ground-covers (G) are those varieties of various 
blooming in large clusters of small flowers or | types of bloom which can be trained close to the 
“pompons,’’ as typiffed by Dorothy Perkins or | ground like English tvy, to cover banks or bare 
Hiawatha. New growth starts each year at the | spots. They look better thinned out each year. 
base, seldom going higher than one year’s growth. | Mrs. M. H. Walsh, Wichuratana, and Max Graf 
For best bloom results and the beauty of the plant, | are examples. 


After the name of each variety you will see an initial (C, R, P, or G, as above) to indicate the purpose 
for which it is best suited. The blooming season—either “‘early,’’ “midsummer” or “‘ate’’ is indicated; each 


one of these seasons being about two weeks apart. Properly selected as to season, the Hardy Climbing Roses 
provide stx weeks of wonderful joy and beauty. 


Part of the Star-Rose Garden at West Grove. Note how the Climbing Roses are festooned on the ropes, 
with everblooming Polyantha or Baby Rambler Roses at the base

*ALBERTINE. C. Midseason. Coppery pink. Illustrated

The blooms come in bunches of several double flowers, often 
4 inches across with large petals, coppery chamois inside,

fragrant. A notable feature of this Rose is that the glossy 
green foliage amply clothes the plant to the base. A profuse 
bloomer in late May and June. $1 each. 


*CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. C.P. Early. Crim- 
son. One of the first climbers to bloom, and giving an extra-

enjoy blooms that are outstanding among climbers. The 
foliage is of medium size, glossy, handsome, and remarkably 
free from pests. $1 each.

After the first severe frost in the fall, cut down the tops to about 3 inches high. Never put manure of any 
kind on top or in contact with perennial clumps. If any need of protection, use cinders or sand. Be careful 
not to use anything that will pack tight during the winter and smother your plants. To enrich the ground, 
dig in some well-rotted manure in the spring.

STAR GUIDE TO GOOD SHRUBS 


The bare spots and ugly places around your 
home will achieve a mellow beauty when planted 
with hardy, ornamental shrubs. And when this 
change has been made, the value of your property 
will be increased, as well as the joy of living 
in it. 

Ornamental shrubs can be used around the 
house, the base of the porch, to hide the vege- 
table-garden, or to break the drabness of the 
garage, and almost from the first the “raw” ap- 
pearance will give way to an attractive beauty. 
Just plant carefully, assure plenty of room for 


the roots, and water them well. Then, each year, 
after the flowering season, remove all the dead 
wood and shape them up. No other care will be 
necessary. - 

The following pages list the most popular va- 
rieties, with sufficient description to enable you 
to choose wisely. The Abelias, some of the 
Deutzias, and the Spireas, are low and spreading, 
while all the other varieties are tall shrubs. 

Invest in this inexpensive improvement to 
your property early this spring. A season lost is 
a year lost.

feet high, and are useful for tall hedges. 
extremely beautiful and where an upright, tall, formal hedge is wanted, 
one that will produce quantities of bloom, Altheas are recommended. 
They are not spreading in growth so should be planted 12 to 18 inches 
apart. We have three varieties: 


A., Banner. Flowers richly striped with pink and crimson. A hedge of this 
lovely Althea looks like a hedge of hardy pelargoniums. 


A., Jeanne d’Arc. Large, double, pure white flowers like roses. No 3-yr.

THE CONARD-PYLE CO. - .ftar Rose Growers - West Grove, Pa. 


Hardy Ornamental Shrubs, continued 


Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora. Blooms for 3 months 
CALYCANTHUS (Allspice; Sweet-scented Shrub, or 


Strawberry Shrub). 5-6 ft. Slow and sturdy in 
growth. Spicy, fragrant, dark crimson flowers. 
No 3-vr. size. 


COTONEASTER horizontalis. A truly charming 
decorative plant to grow alongside steps on a terrace 
or on rockeries. Try it wherever a low-growing plant 
with spreading branches can be used. The foliage 
is small, thick, and shiny, therefore beautiful at all 
times, and the dainty pink flowers are followed by 
vivid scarlet berries which are most effective in 
contrast with the dark, almost evergreen foliage. 
Cotoneasters will not carry over the winter in 
dormant condition, so we have potted plants at 
35 cts. each; larger size, 75 cts. each, postpaid. 


DEUTZIAS. Profuse-blooming shrubs that come in 
both tall and dwarf varieties and have many uses. 
They are entirely covered with flowers in early sum- 
mer. The dwarf kinds are useful for making low, 
dense ornamental hedges or for the front of a shrub 


border. 

D. crenata magnifica. 4-6 ft. The finest of all the 
Deutzias. Exceptionally large, pure white flowers 
cover the stems in dense, foamy masses. 

D. crenata rosea. 4-6 ft. A much admired shrub with 
tassel-like pink flowers that come in great profusion. 

D. crenata, Pride of Rochester. 4-6 ft. White tinged 
with blush. 

D. gracilis. 214-3 ft. White, bell-shaped flowers. 

D. gracilis rosea. 214-3 ft. Lovely pink flowers in May. 

D. Lemoinei. 3-4 ft. White, cone-shaped flowers. 


EUONYMUS japonicus. A most ornamental shrub 


with dark, evergreen, varnished foliage. Makes 
beautiful lawn specimens. 


FORSYTHIA spectabilis. See page 60. April. 5-6 ft. 
Compact in growth and every branch becomes closely 
covered with vivid yellow flowers before the foliage 
appears. Some say this is the most desirable of the 
Forsythias. 

F. viridissima (Golden Bell). April. 5-8 ft. Long, 
erect branches covered with bright golden yellow 
flowers. One of the earliest shrubs to bloom in spring. 
Most effective. when planted in. masses. Both 
Forsythias should be pruned just after flowering. 


BUSH HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera Morrowi). See 
page 60. Fine for making a screen or a background 
for other shrubs. Grows8 to 10 ft. The yellow flowers, 
which come in May, are followed by masses of 
brilliant scarlet berries which remain on the bushes 
a long time. One of the most attractive berried 
bushes. On account of its rapid growth It is espe- 
cially desirable where a screen is quickly needed. 


HYDRANGEA paniculata grandifiora. Blooms in 
August, September, and October. Undoubtedly the 
grandest and most beautiful of all the hardy flower- 
ing shrubs. The flowers are rich, creamy white, 
changing to pink, and are borne in immense clusters, 
often more than a foot long. It blooms in August, 
ibe first and every succeeding year, and continues in 
bloom for months. ‘This Hydrangea is entirely hardy, 
no trouble to grow, and splendid eflects can be ob- 
tained by planting it In masses along driveways, in 
groups among shrubbery, or as a center for beds. 
When p'anted alone in oval or circular beds on large 
lawns, and the plants kept pruned yearly to a height 
of 3 to 4 feet, this magnificent shrub will delight you 
with its showy bloom from August to October and 
produce a lasting effect obtainable from no other 
hardy plant. See illustration. 

H., Hills of Snow (H. arborescens grandiflora). Its long 
flowering season (from June till late August) makes 
this shrub an acquisition on any lawn. Prune severely 
in early spring. Makes a compact shrub about 4 feet 
in height and blooms profusely. See illustration 
below. 


KERRIA japonica (Corchorus). 2-3 ft. Masses of 
golden yellow double flowers in April and occasional 
blooms all summer. 


LILAC, Old-fashioned White (Svringa vulgaris alba). 
8-10 ft. Fragrant white blooms in time for Mothers’ 
Day. A favorite with everyone. No I-vr. size. 

L., Old-fashioned Purple. Stronger in growth than the 
White Lilac, with light purple flowers. Deliciously 
fragrant and free blooming. No 1-vr. size. 

L., Persian Red. Purplish red flowers in open panicles, 
borne in great profusion all over the bush. No 1-yr.

America to offer these vastly tmproved hybrids 
straight from the great French hybridizer, Lemoine. 
For those who want them we have, in addition, the 
following varieties: Avalanche, Coronarius (see 
page 60), Manteau d’Hermine, and Splendens, 
but we describe and offer here only the very cream. 
Try the entire set. We guarantee you will be 
pleased. The Mock Oranges grow to about 8 feet 
m height and bloom in June. 

P. Virginal. This is one of the finest ornamental shrubs 
that we have had to offer in a long time. Its flow- 
ers are snow-white, large, crested, fragrant, and 
come in great quantities. The best feature of this 
variety is Its constant bloom, for, unlike other 
Mock Oranges, 1t blooms throughout the season. 
Makes splendid specimen plants. 

P., Argentine. Very large, double, pure white flowers, 
over 2 inches across, of regular form.

are upright in growth but become more graceful with age. 

W., Eva Rathke. The everblooming Weigela. The splendid foliage and 
lovely, dark red flowers, with creamy white markings, produce an 
effect not to be had in any other shrub. This Weigela is low and 
spacading in growth, so it should be planted at the edge of other 
shrubs. 

W. candida. Flowers pure white, borne in great clusters in June and 
occasionally throughout the summer. 

W. rosea. Rose-pink and white flowers in great profusion. 

W. rosea nana variegata. Flowers soft pink. The foliage of this

5 Super Hybrid Perpetual Roses 


*RED FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI 


Order No. 4475. 


( Druschki 


Rubra). This is a hybrid of Frau Karl Druschki and 
American Beauty. The bud and bloom have the same 
form and size as Frau Karl Druschki, and the color is a 
dull—the furniture man would say ‘“‘egg-shell finish’ — 
crimson lightening to scarlet around the edges of the 
petals. American Beauty has also transmitted its delight- 
ful perfume. The foliage is not subject to mildew, and 
the blooms produced in the fall are superb. $2 each. 


*PRESIDENT BRIAND. Named for 


Aristide 


Briand, Ex-President of the French Senate, to commemo- 
rate the Kellogg Peace Pact, of which Briand was the 


instigator. 


President Briand is ‘‘Perpetual’’ in the 


full meaning of the word, sending out in quick succes- 
sion crop after crop of mammoth “peony” Roses. The 
bud is globular and for a long while the open flower re- 
tains the globular form of a peony of the bomb type 
and bears a delicate fragrance. In color it is a bright 


clear pink with a salmon suffusion.

almost as freely as the Hybrid Tea class. Order the set and save $1.75. 


*HENRY NEVARD. A deep red Rose with large, 
perfect blooms of old-fashioned form and exhilarating 
perfume, nesting in a tuft of verdant foliage. Prune 
short in the spring and then, when the blooms come, 
cut them with long stems. If this is done you will find 
this Rose is almost continuous in bloom. $1.50 each. 


*MME. ALBERT BARBIER. A hybrid of Frau 
Karl Druschki, Mrs. Aaron Ward, and a Pernetiana, 
it shows the imprint of each: the hardiness of the H. P.,

and a blended Pernetiana foliage. The bloom 1s best 
described as a magnified Mrs. Aaron Ward, tawny 
yellow in the center with a cream collarette. $1 each. 


*xMRS. JOHN LAING. This is not a new Rose, like 
the others in this collection, but it is so good it had to

Two NeW S 
STAR ROSES ~ 


Both introduced in United States, 1930, by 
The Conard-Pyle Co. Ch. Mallerin, originator, 
*xMRS. PIERRE S. du PONT. H.T. 
The bud is long-pointed, rich red- 
dish gold, almost orange in the depths 
between the petals, and it holds its 
color well to the end. It is seldom with- 
out buds or blooms till hard frost. The 
foliage is very ornamental, healthy, and 
extremely disease-resistant. Ihe bush is 
never “‘leggy” but is unusually compact, 
with its golden yellow, perfumed blooms 
evenly placed. This is the most continuous 
blooming, glowing yellow Hybrid Tea Rose. 
$3 each; 4 for $10 


*SYRACUSE. H.T. Tight crimson buds 
with large, firm center cone and waving petals. 
The open bloom is very double (100 petals) 
and the outer petals recurve. Because of 
the heavy petalage, the blooms last unusually 
leng and the brilliant color holds equally 
well. Fine for cutting. In growth it is upright, 
tall, and vigorous. The abundant, healthy, 
dark green foliage is leathery and disease- 

resistant. Very hardy. $5 each. _
