Dear Gardening Friends: 
“You get just what you pay for” is a phrase heard quite often these days with 
Discount Houses, mass production, synthetic materials and what have you. 
Basically, I suppose this is true. . . you do get just about what you pay for. But 
here at The Conard-Pyle Company we believe that we must do more than just 
give the customer what he pays for. In other words, we believe that our respon- 
sibility goes beyond the sale—to the actual guarantee itself. We unconditionally 
guarantee our roses to grow and bloom as they should for one full growing season 
or they will be replaced. And, you know, through the years we have found this 
to be our best form of advertising. We can make this guarantee only because our 
quality is supertor; otherwise we could not have stayed in business for over 70 years. 
We are rose specialists; we cut no corners; offer no gimmicks. . . only what we 
believe to be the world’s best roses backed up 100% by our guarantee . . . you 
will be satisfied when you buy Star Roses. 
Sincerely, 
S. B. Hutton, Sr. 
Chairman of the Board

Yip, yy, Yay (below) Hybrid Tea. (Pedro Dot.) Plant Pat. 
/; Y CA /) WM 2462. This rose has very beautiful, very exciting 
color which changes from a crisp, deep orange-pink in the newly opened 
bud to a bold barn-red with touches of scarlet at the petal edges. A tall, 
upright grower, Villa de Madrid produces free continuous bloom on 
strong stems of good cutting length. —TThe medium size blooms are of ex- 
cellent substance, come usually one to the stem and consist of 50 to 60 
well-shaped, medium sized petals. Villa de Madrid is at its sparkling best 
in spring and fall, although bloom is very consistent throughout the 
season. Emerald-green, scarab-like leaves and a rare, light musk fra- 
grance add to the “Old World” beauty of this new rose from the most 
famous Spanish hybridizer.
