HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 



The Hybrid Perpetuals are considered the most valuable of all Roses, because they bear the largest, sweetest and most brilliantly 

 colored flowers, and are so hardy and vigorous they live over winter with slight protection, and continue to bloom regularly from 

 year to year. Their grand flowers are of all shades of red, crimson, scarlet, pink and white, but no yellows. They thrive and bloom 

 finely in all sections of the country, and should generally be planted in the open ground, as but few varieties are suitable for house 

 culture. Some kinds do not bloom till the second year, but when fully established bloom regularly at the usual time and occasionally 

 during the summer and fall months. Though called "Perpetual," they are not constant bloomers, except a few as offered on page ■ya, 

 but are the finest and most beautiful of all hardy Roses. 

 ^American Beauty. Color a deep pink to crimson, and intensely fragrant. This is a most beautiful Rose and a great favorite 



- in some sections of the country where it thrives abundantly in the open ground. In the cut-flower realm 



it reigns supreme. Think of blooms 4 inches across, on stems 4 feet long, for so they grow under glass. Is it any wonder they 

 command a price of $5 per dozen and often more, and figure prominently in floral decorations of the most important public 

 and social functions? There is a large demand for American Beauty, and we supply fine, strong plants in i-yr. size, at 25 cts. 

 each, postpaid ; 2-yr. size, 50 cts. each ; Star size, 75 cts. each, by express. 

 Conard & Jones Co.: 



Last year and the one previous I bought some of your Roses. This year I have reaped a bountiful harvest of blossoms. An American Beauty two years 

 old had 45 blossoms. I am more than delighted; I am just crazy over them. — Mrs. B. S. E., Washington, D. C. 



We offer the choicest and most 

 beautiful varieties in cultivation, 

 and send strong, healthy plants.

The Conard & Jones Co.: 



I have never seen the equal of the three Frau Karl 

 Druschkis anywhere in my life. They have blossomed 

 almost constantly all summer, and the first time they 

 bloomed you could not see the bush for the big white 

 blossoms which measured 6 inches across. They are 

 perfectly hardy, and are certainly Star Roses. There 

 has not been a day since early spring that I have not 

 had Roses, and they are still full of buds. It has been 

 a very hard season on all flowers, Roses especially, 

 yet I have had all kinds all summer, enough for my- 

 self and all my friends.
