ALERED FE. CONARD 
President of 
THE CONARD & JONES CO. 
EST GROVE is not a large place, yet there are few if any countries on earth where flower 
W lovers do not know that it is the place to send to get good Roses. It was in West Grove that the 
American Rose Growing Industry had its beginning and it is here we believe that it has reached 
its highest standard of excellence. During the intervening period of now nearly half a century, there 
is probably no other name that has been so prominently identified with the growing of Roses as that of 
Alfred F. Conard. He was a pioneer in the business and always has insisted upon his customers 
having the best. It was he who developed the idea of sending these sturdy ‘‘own-root’’ Roses safely 
by mail, thus bringing them within the reach of people everywhere, and then with earnest energy and 
the aid of Antonie Wintzer perhaps the most skillful rose grower living, he faithfully devoted himself to 
building up a business for furnishing the 
‘¢ Best Roses in America ’’ 
To-day, in co-operation with its President, everyone of the firm is taking an active personal 
part in the conduct of the business which is thoroughly organized and equipped with the best of 
modern improvements. With the aid of carefully trained assistants, competent heads are in charge 
of each department, and throughout the establishment there exists a stronger-than-ever desire to out- 
strip all former records in giving ‘‘First-class stock’’ and ‘‘Satisfaction to Customers.’
