1 Iar(l\- Aii\ 

 in U. S 



This unique Rose is a spectacular show in itself. 

 Every branch of the previous year's growth becomes 

 lined on all sides, to the very tip, with closely set, 

 wide-open, single Howers like dainty yellow holly- 

 hocks, and the branches bend over with the weight 

 of bloom. 



For boutiuets and decorations. Ilugonis is simply 

 fascinating, the lovely arching sprays and delicate 

 foliage will make displays of distinction obtainable 

 from no other earh- spring tlower. 



Hugonis is fine for shrub planting and makes a 

 symmetrical bush about 6 feet in height and the 

 same in diameter when fully matured. It is per- 

 fectly hardy as we ha\-e nc\er yet known even a tip 

 of a single branch to winter-kill. 



Report by Plant Explorer E. H. Wilson of the 

 ARNOLD ARBORETUM 



Where Ihis Wonderful Rose is on Exhibition 

 "It is an upright-growing shrub with .sleiuler and spread- 

 ing branches on which the fragrant tlowcrs are borne in 

 yard-long sprays of soft yellow. As I write in mid-No- 

 vember, the foliage is still on the shrub and has assumed 

 a dark purple tint." 



Price, -^2-yr., Star-size, field-grown, own-root 

 plants, $1.50 each, 5 for $7; Extra size, $3 each, 

 5 for $12.50. Delivery not prepaid. 



*Dr. W. Van Fleet 



See back cover 



The most perfect, flesh-pink, hardy climbing Rose 

 in existence. The flowers come on stems 12 to 18 

 inches in length, and a bouquet of Dr. W. Van Fleet 

 buds is simply charming. The delicately fragrant 

 open flowers are magnificent, 4 inches and over in 

 diameter, with high-built centers. One well-matured 

 plant will produce over a thousand blooms in a season. 

 Plant five or ten of this one variety and help supply 

 the demand and the craving for flowers everywhere. 



Price, ic2-yT., Star-size, field-grown plants, $1 

 each, 10 for $8; Extra size, $1.25 each, 10 for $10. 

 Delivery not prepaid. 



I want one dozen, largest size Dr. Van Fleet Roses sent 

 to the International Garden Club, Bartow, Bronx Borough, 

 N. Y. There are no Dr. Van Fleets in the Club Garden 

 and I wish to show the club a perfect foliaged climbing rose. 



Two years ago you sent me one dozen superb star size 

 \'an Fleets that grew to wonderful size. — Mrs. H. H., New 

 York. X. Y.

*American Pillar 



Introduced by the Conard & Jones Co. 



Decided, 1918, by a vote of The National Rose 



Society of England as the "Most Popular Climbing 



Rose in Existence." 



Large, single flowers of rich, rosy pink approach- 

 ing brilliant carmine, just a glint of white in the 

 center, and long stamens of beautiful golden yellow. 

 The blossoms — four to six layers deep — are arranged 

 in large-flowered clusters all over the plant. A 

 tremendous grower, with its thick, vigorous canes, 

 it is without doubt one of the most valuable single 

 climbing Roses in existence and is unsurpassed for 

 planting singly or as a hedge. In the autumn it is again 

 a brilliant show of color with its pretty clusters of 

 bright red seed-hips which remain on the bush until 

 well into winter. American Pillar is truly an orna- 

 mental and satisfactory addition to any property. 



Vou should join the circle of delighted owners of 

 hedges of American Pillar, for when used as a hedge 

 it surpasses in splendor any other Rose ever used 

 for this purpose. For indoor decoration and for 

 charming bouquets, this variety is second to none, 

 as it will last for 10 davs when cut. Price, *2-yr.. 

 Star-size, field-grown plants, $1 ea., 10 for $8; Extra 

 size, $1.25 ea., 10 for $10. Delivery not prepaid.

All hardy Climbing Roses, like Dorothy Perkins, etc., 

 or Lady Gay (see page 4) as shown on the arch, produce 

 their blooms on the growth of the previous year; so plant 

 now, for waiting a season means losing a season.
