Since talking with you last 
I've had a rich rose experience. 
Ever since enjoying the roses 
in Belfast, Ireland, I’ve had the 
idea that Puget Sound country 
had roses equally fine. For a 
dozen years, too, have I hoped 
to see the Rose Festival at Port¬ 
land. 
This June my dream came 
true. In company with Gurney 
Hill, “that lovable man,” as Dr. 
E. M. Mills calls him, the orig¬ 
inator of so many great roses, 
and Robert George, for many 
years head of the Storrs & 
Harrison Nurseries, I witnessed 
the crowning of Queen Lucy 
Lee in Laurel Hurst Park. 
Then the River Fete, the Rose 
Show and Civic Meets, and at 
Seattle, another show; in Ta¬ 
coma the Rose Gardens; and 
everywhere and best of all, the 
Rose folks. Every day was a 
great event, and I am still 
dreaming of the land where the 
Rose is queen indeed. 
I continued my study of the 
rose, of new varieties and of rose 
stocks, with every grower of 
notable size as far south as Los 
Angeles; stocks budded on Man- 
etti. Ragged Robin, Odorata and 
Multifiora, and roses on their 
own roots. Since returning I 
have not ceased to study the 
rose as grown near the Atlantic 
Seaboard. 
Why this travel of from 8,000 
to 10,000 miles this season? To 
observe first-hand, more than 
half, I suppo.se, of all the roses 
being grown for all of America. 
Let me tell you it is our earnest 
desire to learn which are the best 
and why they are the best, that 
we may the better produce here 
or obtain elsewhere the best 
that can be had for the benefit of 
those who put their trust in us. 
We are trying to take the 
RISK OUT OF ROSE GROW¬ 
ING for you. Our new catalog 
will be ready September ist. 
If you buy CON.ARD Roses, success 
will be easier—they’re guaranteed to 
bloom. 
Each rose bears a durable, celluloid 
star tag to identify the variety in 
your garden. No other roses have 
this feature.

Offering 
Effective 1926, the importation of 
genuine Holland Narcissus bulbs, 
which have brightened our early 
gardens for generations back, is 
prohibited in U. S. A. This means 
quality will go down and prices up, 
as only inferior domestic bulbs will 
be obtainable. 
Bv taking advantage of one of the three 
liberal offers below, you still have an oppor¬ 
tunity to insure yourself a supply of high 
class imported narcissus bulbs at prices even 
lower than what you have been paying in the 
past. By planting these bulbs from 6 to 8 
inches deep, in accordance with our simple 
instructions, they will become naturalized, 
perpetuating themselves and multiplying 
without care or attention. 
"Size 
Selected with great care from the 
choicest collections in France! 
These Lillies, the famous flowers of 
History and Romance, born on tall, 
stately stems, from 4 to 5 feet high, are 
remarkable both for the astonishing 
size and number of their blooms, often 
from ten to fifteen on a single stalk. 
Their pure and glistening whiteness 
will make, a never to be forgotten 
accent against the riotous color of the 
garden of your dreams. 
Will bloom next June—if you plant them now. 50c each. |5.00 a dozen.
