Condon’s “Guaranteed” Roses 
The Very Finest Roses in America—All 2 Year Old 
Field Grown Selected Plants, Trimmed Ready to Plant 
Note how well they are branched and the heavy well formed root system. 
These hardy Roses will begin to grow immediately and 
will bloom the first season. 
Our Roses are all strong two-year-old American-grown, budded 
or grafted, and while some planters prefer stock grown on theii 
own roots on account of the possibility of budded plants devel¬ 
oping wild shoots, this will rarely occur if the deep planting 
as directed in our illustration is followed. Always make youi 
holes for Roses large enough to properly spread out the com¬ 
plete root system and Always Plant as Deep as Indicated by 
the arrow on the photograph below. Much can be said in favoi 
of budded plants, they being more vigorous, producing finei 
blooms, coming into bearing sooner, and are as permanent and 
hardy as those on their own roots, while many of the very finest 
varieties will not succeed at all when grown on their own roots, 
and preference is given to budded plants by all who have had 
experience with the different classes.

Classification of Roses 
Hybrid Perpetual 
These are the hardiest of all Roses. They are of vigorous 
upright habit, with large leaves and very large, full, double 
richly fragrant flowers which are produced in profusion in June 
and more sparingly in autumn. In order to obtain the finest 
flowers, prune severely in early spring, manure liberally and 
keep the soil well cultivated. 
Hardy Everblooming Hybrid Tea Roses 
These great bush Roses have rapidly superseded all othei 
classes for general planting because of their parentage, which is 
the result of cross fertilization between the Hardy Hybrid Per¬ 
petual or June Roses and the Everblooming Tea Roses. Prom 
the June Roses they inherit the large, bold, handsome, ex¬ 
quisitely fragrant flowers, retaining in a marked degree theii 
hardiness, so that they stand the severest winters without dam¬ 
age, and from the Tea Roses they have retained the free and 
constant blooming habit, together with the great variety of 
color found only in this class. They produce their gorgeous 
flowers without interruption throughout the entire growing sea¬ 
son, making them the best of all Roses for general planting. 
Polyantha or Baby 
The members of this distinct and charming class of ever- 
blooming Roses, of which the Baby Rambler forms a conspicuous 
group, are distinguished by their dwarf, bushy habit of growth, 
medium size, very double flowers and delightful fragrance. This 
class of Roses produces bushy, well branched plants 12 to 24 
inches high, which are completely loaded with rare blooms from 
early spring until late fall. They makp wonderful hedges or 
bordbrs, also delightful house plants. 
Hardy Climbing or Rambler Roses 
For dependability and hardiness their flexibility in use and 
the superb beauty of their profusion of blooms and the added 
value of their foliage makes the Hardy Climbing Rose a favorite 
with everybody. Excellent for decorating pillars to a driveway, 
over pergolas, summerhouses, lattice work, or may be festooned 
along the porch roof. Our list comprises dependable varieties 
that we recommend will give perfect satisfaction throughout
