Dear Gardening Friends: 



For over forty years wc have recommended that roses be planted 

 in either Fall or Spring except in the mid-south where a winter 

 thaw may start them growing and a later freeze cause damage; 

 or in the far north where temperatures drop to less than 10 degrees 

 below zero. For those areas, early Spring planting is to be pre- 

 ferred. In all other areas roses may be planted from the arrival 

 of cold weather when growth has stopped until the ground freezes, 

 or roughly, any time during November. The only precaution to 

 take is to mound loose soil 8 inches high around the tops imme- 

 diately after planting and leave it there imtil growth starts in the 

 Spring. 



We practice what we preach and like to put new plants in our own garden in tlie Fall. 

 So sure are we of results that we guarantee roses planted in the Fall to grow and bloom 

 the following Spring or we will replace them without charge. 



In this catalog we are pleased to present four new Winners of the All-America Award. 

 These are the unusual lavender Floribunda, ANGEL FACE; the bright orange-red Grandi- 

 flora, COMANCHE; the vigorous white Hybrid Tea, PASCAL!, and the lovely pink 

 Floribunda, GENE BOERNER. 



In addition we present the brilliant pink and yellow bicolor Hybrid Tea, COLOR AM A; 

 the deep yellow Hybrid Tea, GOLDEN PRINCE, and the everblooming light pink 

 Climber RHONDA^ 



All of these new kinds have been carefully selected after years of observation and trial 

 and have outstanding qualities that arc different from or improvements on existing kinds. 

 They are illustrated in color as accurately as possible with color photography and the most 

 modern printing equipment. We have tried to describe them accurately from repeated 

 observations in our own nursery for you to select the kinds you will enjoy. We know that 

 everyone will not like all of these new roses, but I think that all will find among them at 

 least a few kinds that they will enjoy growing and showing to their friends. 



Yours for better roses, 



Chairman of the Board The Conard-Pyle Co.
