*Feu Pernet-Ducher. h. t. 



(C. MALLERIN, 1934) 

 Plant Patent No. 103. {See front cover) 



Yellow. One of the most beautiful Roses we have 

 ever seen. Creamy orange buds, heavily marked 

 with carmine, slowly open to spiral flowers of rich 

 3^eIIow, growing lighter toward the edges, with the 

 edges lightly flushed with pink. The autumn 

 flowers arc much darker, being a rich golden yellow 

 shading hghter at the edges, occasional flowers 

 having a decided pink tinge. Although fully 

 double, with 80 to 100 thin, tissue-like petals, it has 

 opened perfectly in all kinds of weather. Tall, bushy 

 plants bloom continuously from June until frost, 

 with the heaviest bloom and most beautiful flowers 

 during August when good Roses are scarce. Delight- 

 fully fragrant. $2 each; 6 for $10.

SUCCESS WITH ROSES depends, more than 

 anything else, on getting GOOD ROSES to 



start with. If you intend to plant Roses, you 

 can depend on far richer returns in growth and 

 bloom if none but good Roses are bought. Such 

 are the very foundation of Success. 



The growers of Star Roses aim to produce the 

 Best Roses that can be had anywhere. Steadily, 

 for years, that has been the policy of The Conard- 

 Pyle Company. 



"I am part of all that I have met," said Ulysses; 

 so with this firm. The methods now so strictly 

 followed were taught by the experiences from 

 two-thirds of a century of Rose-growing on the 

 part of those whose very lives were devoted to 

 that one thing. This business was incorporated in 

 1897 by men who had pioneered in the first Rose- 

 growing, mail-order firm in America. They began 

 here in West Grove in 1868. 



But we rest on no laurels. The happy growth 

 of our business rests on the quality of the plants 

 and the character of business that we do today. 

 In addition to the tested and proved methods, we 

 enjoy the advantage of exceptionally favorable 

 location, both as to soil and climate, for growing 

 sturdy, strong-rooted Roses. It was the superior 

 result-producing qualities of these plants that 

 made it safe in the first place to guarantee Star 

 Roses to bloom. 



GUARANTEE. We guarantee every Star 

 Rose to bloom the first blooming period after 

 purchase; failing which we will replace the 

 plant or refund its cost. It is not the guar- 

 antee which makes the Roses bloom, but the 

 quality of the plants which has enabled us for 

 over twenty years thus to guarantee results from 

 Star Roses. 



TRADE-MARK. As a merit-mark of Quality, 



significant of the national recognition of Roses of 

 such distinction, the Star Rose Trade- 

 Mark was registered by the United States 

 Government. (See upper left hand corner of 

 this page.) Wired fast to every Star Rose 

 is this Trade-Mark, a celluloid. Star-shaped 

 tag bearing the true name of the Rose on 

 one side and the name of this firm, as growers, 

 on the reverse side. 

 That is your insurance certificate, a token which 

 comes direct to you from the firm who not only 

 supplies the Rose but guarantees your success.

< — « *Mme. Cochet-Cochet. h.t. 



(C. MALLERIN, 1934.) Plant Patent applied for 



Coppery pink. This winner of the Bagatelle 

 Gold Aledal (1932) is one of the loveliest of the 

 new Roses, the flowers reminding us of the beautiful, 

 but hard to grow, Los Angeles. Long-pointed buds 

 of coppery pink, flushed orange, open to 43^-inch 

 flowers of splendid form; the color of the open 

 flower is the same as the bud except that the orange 

 softens to gold. The petals vary from 20 to 40, and 

 when open they disclose a mass of golden stamens. 

 As the flower ages the color changes to soft satiny 

 pink with attractive tints but does not lose any of 

 its loveliness and is unusually clear and refreshing 

 at all times. Sweet honey-like fragrance. The 

 plants are tall, with good foliage. This is one of 

 the most free-blooming Roses we grow. It was 

 named for a member of the famous Cochet family 

 of France known to rosarians the world over.
