SUMMER SUNSHINE 



About The Conard-Pyle Co. 



Roses have been the specialty of our company 

 since 1906. The Star Rose trademark and label 

 have become known both nationally and inter- 

 nationally as the mark of a top-grade product. 

 We are proud of the fact that The Conard-Pyle 

 Co. (formerly The Conard and Jones Co.) was 

 a pioneer in the growing of garden roses and that we 



were the first firm to guarantee our rose plants to bloom. 



Through the years we have encouraged the development of 



new kinds of roses and have introduced scores of those from 



leading hybridizers in Europe as well as the United States. 

 In addition to roses we grow many perennials, evergreens 



and other ornamental plants for the retail and wholesale market. 



Quality and service have built our business, and we take every 



precaution to maintain our high standards. 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 UV Fat. 1759. A beautiful rich pink with a shimmer 

 and glow that gives a soft highlight to the flower. This is a strong 

 color but not a harsh or overpowering one. Buds are firm and 

 pointed. The big, fully double blooms have a high pointed 

 center surrounded by large strong petals that give them the 

 ability to last well. Most of them are borne one to a stem. 

 Fragrance is strong and pleasing. All these fine qualities 

 make Pink Peace a favorite for cutting. The plant is very 

 strong and bushy, with large, rather dark, abundant leaves 

 and thick flower stems. Superb for garden decoration . . . 

 an excellent choice for the back row of a planting because of 

 its extra size and vigor. Give it plenty of room so that it can 

 do its best. In habit of growth, size and strength of foliage, 

 and general air of command, this fine Hybrid Tea shows its re 

 lationship to the Peace rose. Although individual flowers are not 

 so large as those of Peace, they boast a most pleasing dusky pink 

 color, very firm petals and sturdy stems. We feel sure you will 

 join others in calling Pink Peace a standout.

Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 



2078. This brilliant deep yellow 

 rose fairly gleams in the sunlight. It makes its presence known in 

 any rose planting and is especially cheering on a dark cloudy day. 

 Urn-shaped buds open to a sunburst of bloom, and the intense 

 yellow lasts for days. Petals roll gently outward as the buds unfurl 

 to flowers of medium size, with about 25 satiny smooth petals. 

 High centered at first, they gradually become cup shaped. They 

 open easily, regardless of the weather. Coming usually singly but 

 sometimes two or three to a long stem, these roses are ideal for 

 cutting. Both the form and the color hold up well and add bril- 

 liance to any arrangement of mixed colors. The vigorous, semi- 

 upright plant is stronger than many yellow Hybrid Teas. It grows 

 moderately tall, well branched and attractive, with grey-green 

 leaves and reddish thorns. If you are planting several roses in a 

 group, place Summer Sunshine in the front row where its dazzling 

 yellow can be seen easily. You will find the plant a regular and 

 continuous bloomer until frost ... a good reliable willing per- 

 former that is an asset in any garden.
