Distinguished Star ^k Novelties of 1931 



Kinds Underscored — Introduced in America by The Conard-Pyle Co. 



"The New Dawn" is the name of the Rose for which the first U. S. plant patent was issued, and now 

 first offered to our patrons. (See opposite page.) 



These two pages also mark a new dawn in the richness of quality and assortment of Novelties here 

 offered for the first time. How we should enjoy telling you here of the fascinating trips abroad — visits to 

 Europe's leading hybridizers — their painstaking labors extending over decades, and finally our own testing 

 and culling of the cream for your enjoyment! Space forbids extension of remarks, but the high quality, 

 variety, and romance of excellent new sorts are ready for your garden. 



• CECILE WALTER. H .T. (C. Mallerin, 1929.) 

 Coppery orange. Winner of the Gold Medal, Sav- 

 erne, 1928, and Second Prize, Bagatelle, 1928 and 

 1929. A Rose of many colors, predominantly cop- 

 pery orange flushed with yellow and quickly fading 

 pink. Not unlike Los Angeles but with better 

 foliage, more coppery color, and longer-lasting 

 bloom. The long-pointed orange bud is on a stem of 

 good length. A strong grower with dark green 

 foliage. $2.50 each. 



• DUQUESA DE PENARANDA. p ern et. (Pedro 

 Dot, 1931.) Glowing salmon. Awarded Gold Medal 

 of the King, Barcelona, 1929. A splendid bedding 

 Rose that can be used as a cut-flower if disbudded. 

 The colors of the pointed bud are a blend of orange, 

 copper, and pink. When the flower is fully opened 

 the petals are wavy and keep upright so that the 

 anthers in the center do not show. The general color- 

 effect of the open bloom is a deep, glowing saJmon 

 in the center which pleasingly graduates to coral-pink 

 at the edges, but in all stages the changing colors 

 retain a rich glow until the petals drop. Spicy fra- 

 grance. $2.50 each.

H.T. Introduced 



•Thomas A. Edison 



• THOMAS A. EDISON. H .T. (The Conard- 

 Pyle Co., 1931.) Two-tone pink. On December 2, 



1929, we were graciously permitted by Mr. Edison 

 to name this variety in his honor. On June 29, 1931, 

 Mr. Edison wrote that the Roses we sent, which we 

 had named for him, were "All doing beautifully." 

 It has the sturdy growth and healthy foliage that has 

 endeared Radiance to the American public, and 

 produces quantities of great, solid blooms. It is full 

 to the center and lasts well if cut just as the bloom is 

 opening. The color of the open flower is soft flesh- 

 pink inside with light lilac-pink on the reverse of the 

 petals toning to deep yellow at the base. $2.50 each. 



• CAYETANA STUART. H .T. (Pedro Dot, 1930.) 

 Sunflower-yellow. This Rose was the winner of the 

 Gold Medal for New Foreign Roses at Bagatelle in 



1930. Golden yellow, conical buds open to sunflower- 

 yellow blooms, darker in the center than on the out- 

 side petals. The bush is vigorous, with erect 

 branches and elliptical, brilliant green foliage. 

 $2.50 each. 



Order No. 7769 March 50, 1911 



I wish to express my satisjaction with the plants I received 

 from you about three weeks ago. They were splendid plants — 

 all of them— and I was surprised to receive such healthy ones after 

 the drought of last summer. They were much finer plants than I 

 received from another well-known firm, and hereafter when I want 

 Rose plants tbey will certainly come from Conard-Pyle. — C. P. J., 

 Blackstone, Va. 



fall, 1931. See description and color plate on inside 

 front cover. $2.50 each. 



• E. J. LUDDING. h.T. (G. A. van Rossem, 

 1931.) Carmine-pink with coral-red and salmon 

 shading. This Rose has to its credit the Gold Medal 

 of the Society "Nos Jungunt Rosa?," and a First 

 Class Certificate (Highest Award) of the Royal 

 Horticultural Society of the Netherlands, 1930. The 

 coral-red buds are ovoid, opening to a full, well- 

 formed bloom with petals of good substance — really 

 a deep rose-pink. It produces its flowers continu- 

 ously under almost any weather condition. $2.50 

 each. 



• GRENOBLE. H .T. Introduced fall, 1931. See 

 color illustration on front cover and description on 

 page 3. $2.50 each. 



• HIAWATHA RECURRENT. H .C. Introduced 

 fall, 1931. See description, page 19. $1.50 each. 



• LEONARD BARRON. H .T. (The Conard- 

 Pyle Co., 1931.) Pink and copper. Named in honor 

 of the enthusiastic Horticultural Editor of The 

 American Home. A finished bedding Rose of ex- 

 treme hardiness, evolved from a wild Rose from the 

 A rctic Zone, crossed with Paul Neyron and a large- 

 flowering yellow Hybrid Tea, so it is useful for the 

 extreme north as well as the sunny south. The bud, 

 borne on a strong stem, is ovoid and the color is 

 coppery salmon splashed with burnt-orange. It 

 opens slowly, with the center showing brilliant cop- 

 per, and when full blown the center develops into 

 intense salmon-copper, surrounded by a collarette of 

 large, shell-pink petals. The bloom is immense — 

 4 to 5 inches across — with about a hundred petals, 

 and has a pleasing, distinctive fragrance like red 

 cedar. The plant grows upright and blooms freely. 

 $2.50 each.
