H ELP Nature and she’ll reward you with in¬ 
terest—oppose her and she’ll exact tribute. 
Don’t plant just roses, those without a 
guarantee. Such roses may have had indiffer¬ 
ent care in the beginning—then, negligent 
handling, improper exposure and careless pack¬ 
ing for shipment, any of which may fatally 
weaken the plant. 
Rather, plant Conard Star Roses—the roses 
that are guaranteed. Every Conard rose we 
ship has been prepared with infinite pains to 
give you the utmost in rose satisfaction—this 
through every stage of its development and 
shipment. With it we send concise cultural 
directions which assure success. 
The variety of each C'onard Rose is easily 
told in your garden by a durable celluloid star 
tag bearing the name. Conard roses are the 
only roses in existence with this feature—the 
only roses that are guaranteed to bloom.
