“/o Our Customers: 
_ Of Peace Rose we have plenty. But Roses are still in short supply, and 
Since demand is greatest for the best there are, the best are likely to be sold 
out first. That refers not only to the best kinds but to the best-grown plants. 
‘‘The Best Roses for America” has long been our constant aim. Good quality 
at the right price means soonest sold. Our supply for this spring cannot last 
long. We encourage early orders and suggest that you instruct us to send 
other kinds if necessary. We reserve the right to make changes of varieties 
in offers; otherwise, we do not make changes unless so instructed. (See 
‘‘Our Selection” Offer, page 6.) 
Our Star Rose Guarantee as shown on the opposite page is your assurance 
of protection in case it is needed. 
By autumn we will have ample Rose plants and again be prepared to supply 
large-sized orders and Municipal Rose Gardens. 
While good Roses continue to be scarce, we recommend the use of peren- 
nials. We have listed an extra-large assortment in these pages and, we 
believe, one of the largest and finest lists of Chrysanthemums offered any- 
where. (See special index.) 
ALL-AMERICA ROSE SELECTIONS 
This symbol stands for super-selected, top-choice from all America’s 
newest Roses. Each year, the ablest judges in gardens from the Atlantic to the 
Pacificandfrom Minnesotatothe Gulf, after a two-year test period on a uniform 
point basis, choose the top-ranking varieties. In 1946 it was PEACE. (See 
pages 2 and 3.) 
Since the start of this Nation-wide, scientifically scored award granted for 
top new Roses of all nations, to this firm, The Conard-Pyle Company of West 
Grove, Pennsylvania, has come the double distinction of top rank in two 
respects: 
1. For giving to America the Rose receiving the highest score ever at- 
tained in this contest, that is, PEACE. 
2. For having given to America the largest number of winners, as follows: 
Flash Fred Edmunds Horace McFarland 
Floradora Lowell Thomas Peace 
Grande Duchesse Charlotte THE CONARD-PYLE CO. 
Let the AARS symbol be your guide! Va
