FREE-FLOWERING HARDY CLIMBERS 



Aunt Harriet— Dazzling Crimson 



There are no flowers grown that surpass the Hardy Climbing Roses for 

 combined beauty and abundance of bloom. It is truly astonishing how so many 

 perfect flowers can be produced by any one plant, yet some of the large- 

 flowered types, like Climbing American Beauty (page 29), 

 Dr. W. Van Fleet (page 27), or Gardenia (page 31), will be simply 

 covered with perfect Roses in June and quantities can be taken for 

 indoor decoration without robbing the bush and spoiling the out- 

 door display. These hardy climbing Roses grow as easily as an 

 ordinary shrub and can be grown on pillars, porches, fences, etc., 

 with delightful effect. They bloom the second season after planting, 

 so get yours started this year and the branches they make this 

 summer will produce an abundance of bloom the following June. 



■frAUNT HARRIET. (See cut.) New, 191 8. Originated by the famous Rose- 

 hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet, and introduced, 1918, by the Farm Journal, 

 Philadelphia. In full bloom it is amazingly fine with its masses of dazzling 

 scarlet-crimson Roses loading every branch. The bright effect is intensified by the 

 pure white centers and brilliant golden anthers which shine out when the flowers are 

 fully open. Awarded Certificate of Merit, American Rose Society. (See prices below.) 



-fr&LIDA LOVETT. Color is bright shell-pink, with shadings of sulphur-yellow at base 

 of petals. The flowers are similar in size and form to the Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, 

 but a deeper pink. (See prices below.) 



-fcBESS LOVETT. Resembles Climbing American Beauty in shape of bloom and the 

 large foliage is very attractive. Color is clear bright red and the well-formed flowers are 

 freely produced. Beautiful in bud and bloom and one of the most fragrant of the hardy 

 climbers. (See prices below.)

leathery foliage, which is practically proof against mildew or black-spot. 



The flower is a bright, clear wild-rose pink, 3^ to 4 inches in diameter, 



double, borne singly and in clusters. This Rose often blooms in the late 



-summer and has occasional blooms until frost comes. (See prices below.)

 are produced in immense, durable clusters. Foliage is large, leathery, 

 and very fine. (See prices below.) 



October 26. 1923. 

 It may be of interest to you to know that Roses from the plants purchased from you last 

 spring took the first prize at the Second Southeastern Agricultural and Industrial Exposition, 

 at Wilmington, N. C I think this is a remarkable record for the first year, and I cannot re- 

 commend Conard & Jones Star Roses too highly. — O. P., Jr., Wilmington, N. C 



*MARY WALLACE. New 1924. See page 9. 



■fcMAY QUEEN. Double Roses of enchanting, clear, bright pink, which 

 come in such profusion as to almost cover the bush. Good, healthy foliage; 

 the flowers are deliciously sweet and fine for cutting. (See prices below.) 



•PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMBER. See this in color on front cover. 



• PHILADELPHIA. Splendid flowers 2 '/i inches across and perfectly double. 

 Color pure deep rich crimson, far brighter and more intense than the old 

 Crimson Rambler. Holds its bright, dazzling color a long while, which 

 adds greatly to its value. (See prices below.) 



••RUBY QUEEN. Produces immense quantities of large, cupped flowers, 

 rich ruby-red in color, with a clear white center. A fine pillar Rose. Useful 

 in landscape work for planting where a quantity of bright bloom is 

 wanted. (See prices below.) 



•THOUSAND BEAUTIES (Tausendschon). Produces thousands of bright 

 blossoms, borne in clusters and quite double. Colors of every imaginable 

 shade, from white to deep pink. Has few thorns and handsome foliage. On 

 account of its almost thornless canes this beautiful Rose is especially 

 desirable for arbors, arches, etc. It is a most attractive Rose when grown 

 on a post or pillar, as shown in our illustration. (See prices below.) 



The Conard & Jones Company, West Grove, Penna. October 9, 1923. 



I feel that I must tell you something of the success I have had this year growing flowers from 

 plants, seeds, and bulbs purchased from you this spring. I have been buying Roses from dif- 

 ferent nurseries for the last four years but have never seen such wonderful plants as you send 

 out. I can understand why you can safely make the guarantee you do. From now on I shall 

 surely purchase my Roses from you. There is absolutely no comparison in companies. — Mrs. 

 S. C C, Galax, Va. 



Thousand Beauties (Tausendschon) 



I wish to thank you for the extra-fine specimens of Roses 

 you sent me in filling order No. 1552, also for your courtesy and 

 business-like methods. I assure you it is a pleasure to deal 

 with your firm. — C. O'R., Covington, Ohio.
