Rose Growing Our Specialty 
(aad INCE 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 roots’’ roses ona Jarge 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 
community. 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 
methods, our West Grove Floral Nurseries are now established with facilities unexcelled 
Prominent hybridizers know that we are on the lookout for New 
e 
New Roses: Roses 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,’’ ‘‘New Century,’’ ‘‘Royal Cluster,’’ ‘‘May Queen,’ ‘‘Ruby Queen,”’ 
‘‘Pearl Queen,’’ “‘Clara Barton,’’ ‘‘Sir Thos. Lipton,’’ ‘‘Magnafrano,’’ ‘‘Beauty of Rosemawr,”’ 
and ‘‘Birdie Blye,”’ (see index, page 46.) We also 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 
assortment always up to date and yet a safe one to order from. 
Ou r Al m: Rose grcwing is almost a hobby with us, and our constant aim is to supply 
* 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 for dependable Rose Growers who sell good stock, 
please remember these points about C. & J. Roses. You will not find better anywhere and 
few so good. Respectfully, .
