Kind Friends and Patrons, Greeting. 
DEAR FRIENDS.—We desire to thank you personally for all your kind orders, and assure you of 
. our best efforts to merit your continued confidence and regard. We present herewith Our New Guide 
E for 1899, which we had to enlarge to 124 pages in order to contain our greatly increased stock of roses, 
and other beautiful flowers. We have tried to make it so handsome and interesting that we hope you will 
examine it carefully, and send us at least a share of your valued orders this season. 
Flower Seeds at correct prices, send your orders 
to us, and you will not be disappointed. Our goods are always reliable, and we guarantee satisfaction in 
every way. Weare well-known in the rose growing and mail order business. Our Alfred F. Conard 
.and Antoine Wintzer were among the first to grow roses here—more than twenty years ago. Our roses 
always give satisfaction. There are no better roses grown than ours, and few so good. 
ROSES ALL ON THEIR OWN ROOTS All our Roses are grown on their own roots in 
pots, from strong, well-matured, field-grown stocks, 
which produce plants of the greatest vitality, and early blooming power. No budded or grafted roses 
.are ever sent out. We grow them by the hundred thousand, and aim to keep all the choicest varieties, 
both new and old, in different sizes and prices, ready for shipment at all times. 
NEW HYBRID TEA POLYANTHA ROSE, We give special attention to originating new vari- 
be % eties of roses, and this year have the pleasure of

named CLARA BARTON, by special permission of the honored Miss Clara Barton, President of the Worid’s 
RED CROSS SOCIETY, and loved by the people of all nations for her noble work in the cause of humanity. 
This is certainly one of the most exquisite roses recently introduced, (pages 4 and 5); also Our Grand New 
Hybrid Climbing Rose, ROYAL CLUSTER, (page 7), undoubtedly the most magnificent pure white hardy 
climbing cluster rose ever seen We ask special attention also to Our New Hardy Climbing Roses of

‘ In reply to frequent inquiries, we would say, we have no con- 
I mM portant Notice. nection spe tevet with any other company. Do not be mis- 
led because you see the name Dingee & Conard Co. unchanged. Neither Alfred F. Conard or Antoine 
Wintzer have any connection with that concern, but long since left it entirely, and though that Company 
: still retains Mr. Conard’s name because they think it their interest to do so, and cannot be 
legally prevented, he has severed all connection with them years ago. All communi- 
cations intended for Alfred F. Conard or Antoine Wintzer should be addressed to THE CONARD & 
‘JONES COMPANY, West Grove, Pa., where they will receive prompt and careful attention. 
Please be careful to always address.
