The C. & J. Star Raltentes Satisfaction 
VER fifty years ago, Alfred F. Conard, 
the honored founder of our firm, 
began business in West Grove. It 
was here, later, that he conceived the idea 
of growing own-root Roses, to send by 
mail to all the world. He prepared the 
first Rose mail-order catalogue. He placed 
the first Rose mail-order advertisement. 
He lived to see vast and beneficent changes 
follow. A thousand homes now enjoy the 
queen of flowers where but one had Roses 
before he made possible their widespread distribution. 
He has passed to rest, but his fifty years of labor forms 
the basis for our ability to ‘make’ The Best Roses 
for America, and the best in whatever we offer.
