WHAT ABOUT YOUR HOME? 
Ugliness is Barbarism and should be banished—but that’s easy—simply intro¬ 
duce beauty. It may take a little of your time (really a delightful pastime), it may 
require work (which really is a wholesome recreation), and skill you either have 
or can acquire. 
When you beautify the outside of your home with plants, you buy but the 
beginning of things; that’s why it costs so comparatively little. Your investment 
in Beauty grows; it will usually double many times over, and you will have planted 
not only plants but a love for home that will strengthen as the roots of your plants 
go deeper and that will be a blessing as the flowers bloom. 
The satisfaction from beauty about your home is threefold: First, to those in the 
home; second, to neighbors; third, to those who merely pass by. It marks the char¬ 
acter of those within. Every good reason calls upon you to join the crusade and 
about your home at least, “HELP TO MAKE AMERICA MORE BEAUTIFUL.” 
RT IT RQ • Re P orts from Holland and France with reference to Flowering Bulbs lead one to infer 
JJ LJ LLIJ. that so intense has been their devotion to immediate problems arising from the 
World War, and so many men and acres have been busy growing food, that the supply of Bulbs is 
likely to be less than for many years. 
We placed our orders early, with long-established firms, and expect to be able to fill all orders, 
unless possibly those which come late. 
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: August 5, 1919 
It affords us pleasure to testify to the high character 
and standing of The Conard & Jones Company. It is 
composed of practical, up-to-date Nurserymen and Rose 
Specialists. In our opinion, any statement they may make 
or any agreement into which they may enter can be abso¬ 
lutely relied upon.

Parcel Post Delivery to Your Door 
Practically all the items of small size in this catalogue are offered with delivery charges prepaid. This 
includes one-year-old plants, bulbs, and seeds, BUT— 
Larger plants, including two-year-old roses, shrubs, and other items will be found with a □ after each price. 
□ This sign at the foot of several pages in the catalogue indicates the items on those pages on which 
transportation is not prepaid. This does not mean that the cost of delivery is expensive. It is very inex¬ 
pensive. The goods may be delivered by the American Railway Express Company, in which case 
delivery charges will be collected, upon delivery, by your Express Agent. 
On the other hand, you may find it more convenient to have your goods sent by parcel post, postage to 
be paid on delivery. If you wish goods delivered by parcel post, please say so when ordering. Below is a 
schedule of likely postal charges on delivery when two-year or larger sizes are sent. Parcel-post charges are 
usually less than express charges east of the Mississippi. Plants vary in weight, so transportation will vary 
accordingly. Our figures, however, are as near right as we can estimate them. 
We are located about midway between Baltimore and Philadelphia. Come 
by train, trolley, or by motor, via the Monument Route (map on request)
