Rose Specialists for 34 Years 



We had no airplane here with which to photograph this entire field of Star Roses, hence 

 we can show but a third of the quarter-mile-long rows in one of our six fields. 



In spite of a summer when wells went dry, these deeply rooted Roses, treated to intensive 

 cultivation, kept right on growing the entire season till checked by frost. 



This is but one of several fields, all of which have been grown close to our storage-plant 

 and under our own supervision. We're proud of these plants — now safely housed and ready 

 for you. Read on the margin what Mr. McFarland, President of the American Rose Society, 

 wrote on his return from a visit here last September. (Continued on page 8.) 



America's Leading Rose 



Critic After a Visit Here 



Wrote : 



September 16, 1930. 



... I congratulate you on the 

 magnificent condition of the 

 fields in which are being grown 

 the Roses you have to sell this 

 fall and next spring. I shall be a 

 fortunate man if I am ever per- 

 mitted to see better and cleaner 

 plants than those thus at the 

 disposal of your customers. — 

 J. Horace McFarland, Presi- 

 dent and Editor American Rose 

 Society, Harrisburg, Pa. 



*Star Roses Arc Guaranteed to Bloom 



And are, we believe, the only trade-marked Roses in America 



This is no new thing — we've consistently ful- 

 filled this pledge for 25 years, a policy made pos- 

 sible only by the superior quality of the plants we 

 sell. Each Star Rose is marked with our durable 

 celluloid Star tag, an exclusive service that enables 

 you to always know your Roses by name when they 

 bloom. This tag also is a symbol of our guarantee. 



We Guarantee every Star Rose to bloom at the 

 First blooming period after purchase, failing which 

 we agree to replace the Rose or refund its cost. 



What the National Bank 



and Trust Co., of West 



Grove, Pa., says of us 



" To Whom It May Concern: 



It affords us pleasure to tes- 

 tify to the high standing and 

 character of The Conard-Pyle 

 Co. It is composed of practical, 

 up-to-date nurserymen and 

 Rose specialists. In our opinion 

 any statement they may make 

 or any agreement into which 

 they may enter can be absolutely 

 relied upon." — R. E. Ewing, 

 Cashier, December 19, 1930. 



Novelty Star Roses in Natural Colors

•DIRECTOR RUBIO. H.T. Cochineal-pink. 

 Director Rubio, in charge of Barcelona (Spain) 

 public parks and Royal Gardens, is a critical 

 judge of Roses, and to have permitted his name to 

 be given a Rose is in itself a guarantee of quality. 

 Of medium height and compact form, it makes an 

 ideal bedder. The bud, borne on erect pedicel, is 

 cerise-scarlet, opening to a very large and fairly 

 double bloom, sweetly scented, of a solid cochi- 

 neal-pink, holding its color long, rain or shine; 

 then it pales some and dies gracefully. The petals 

 are uneven in shape, some notched. The span 

 from the first color of the bud to the drop of the 

 petals is unusually long. Outstanding both in 

 luminous color and bizarre form, for the color 

 is unique and the laminated petals of the fully 

 opened flower bring to mind the ruffled feathers 

 of a swan. This new type of Rose will give an 

 added zest to any Rose-garden. $2.50 each.

•SYRACUSE. H.T. (Charles Mallerin, 1930; 

 introduced in U. S. by The Conard-Pyle Co.) 

 Crimson. Syracuse Rose has been named in 

 honor of the city of Syracuse, N. Y. The fully 

 opened flower is medium to large in size and very 

 double; even the heart of the bloom is chock-full 

 of petals. The outer petals recurve and give the 

 bloom the appearance of a great scarlet-crimson 

 ball. $5 each. 



•MRS. PIERRE S. du PONT. H.T. Golden 

 yellow. This is the "perpetual motion," golden 

 yellow, perfumed Rose, seldom without buds or 

 blooms from June till hard frost. In 1929 it won 

 the Bagatelle Gold Medal, the highest honor ob- 

 tainable by an outdoor-grown Rose. It is a semi- 

 double, cupped bloom which opens from a medi- 

 um-sized, long-pointed bud. $3 each.
