THE CONARD-PYLECa, WEST GROVE, PA. 

 64 STANDARD VARIETIES 



We guarantee these Roses to bloom within 12 

 weeks from planting or we refund their cost 



"Standard Varieties" has here an important mean- 

 ing. It has reference to two qualities: (1) the plants 

 here offered are top-quality, 2-year-old field plants, 

 mostly grown at West Grove, i.e., the standard 

 Star Grade; (2) the selection of these particular 

 varieties has nothing haphazard about it, but is the 

 result of wide experience and careful observation 

 over many years with a far larger list. All good 

 current kinds have been tested and we have by 

 elimination selected the choicest kinds for you. 



Every plant is guaranteed to bloom, so you can 

 confidently order whatever you 

 fancy, with not the slightest 

 fear of failure. 



The descriptions have been 

 written from the Roses as they 

 grow right here in our Star Rose- 

 Gardens. 



•AMI QUINARD. H.T. See 



illustration. Black-Iustered red. 

 This is the standard-bearer for 

 the dark red Roses, with its 

 alluring, richly colored petals of 

 crimson-maroon that look like 

 pieces of soft, luxurious velvet. 

 No rival of this royal beauty has 

 yet appeared. Blackish buds 

 open to semi-double flowers of 

 velvety crimson-maroon with a 

 soft black luster. It has rich old 

 Rose fragrance. Strong, upright 

 plant, almost matching the 

 Radiances for vigor. This Rose 

 is improving, for it has 

 several more petals than 

 when first introduced and 

 we now consider it one of 

 our best. $1 each.* 



•ARIEL. H.T. Orange- 

 flame. The buds are 

 orange and develop into 

 orange-pink blooms that age to 

 lighter pink. Fragrance like hot- 

 house violets. 75 cts. each.* 



•Ami Quinard. $1 each* 



•BETTY UPRICHARD. 



H.T. See illustration. Car- 

 mine and salmon. A most 

 satisfactory Rose, with all 

 the good points of Radi- 

 ance but totally different 

 in form and color. Since 

 its introduction it has 

 steadily grown in favor 

 with those who appre- 

 ciate a really satisfac- 

 tory Rose. In color it 

 is in a class by itself 

 with its beautiful, har- 

 monizing shades of 

 carmine and salmon 

 rising from an orange 

 base on firm, thick- 

 textured petals that 

 hold their form and 

 color for a long time 

 after the flowers are 

 cut. The buds are 

 long-pointed and open 

 blooms are spicily fra- 

 grant. This is one of 

 the easiest to grow and 

 most delightful of the 

 standard Everbloom- 

 ing Roses. 75 cts. 

 each.* 



•Betty Uprichard 

 75 cts. each* 



You cannot ignore 

 quality and expect to 

 get satisfactory re- 

 sults. 



•Countess Vandal. $1 each 



•CATHRINE KORDES. H.T. Carmine-scarlet. This splendid, 

 full-petaled Rose, with rich bronzy foliage, has been under observa- 

 tion for several years and has come through with flying colors. The 

 large, well-formed flowers are glowing carmine-scarlet and come 

 singly on erect, strong stems. $1 each.* 



•COUNTESS VANDAL. H.T See illustration. Plant Patent 38. 

 Copper and salmon. This lovely aristocrat has proved herself 

 beyond competition, now that she has adjusted herself to our 

 American climate. An upright-growing, vigorous Rose with rich- 

 colored, attractive, disease-resistant foliage. The perfumed, per- 

 fectly formed blooms, which come from long tapering buds, are a 

 blending of copper, salmon, and gold in color, and they are produced 

 almost continuously on long, erect, rigid stems. $1 each; 3 for 

 $2.50. 7^,0 further discount on this patented Rose
