C. & J. RELIABLE COLLECTION 
Equipped with the benefit of a half a century’s experience in intelligent Rose-growing, by our 
faithful attention to the wants of customers, we have won a confidence that we consider one of the 
most valuable assets of our business. Our appreciation of this confidence, therefore, makes us feel 
especially the responsibility of selecting from among 200 or 300 Teas, Hybrid Teas and Chinas, 12 Roses 
which we can recommend as the most reliable for general planting. There are so many beautiful Roses 
nowadays that it would not be just to say of any 12, “these are the best.” But we do say that in this 
set of 12 each one contains the qualities of a high-grade Rose. They are all strong, vigorous growers, 
bloom abundantly, and all are among the hardiest in this everblooming class. Just enough in this 
collection to fill a bed 3 feet wide by 8 feet long. They will bloom the first season and every suc¬ 
ceeding season, all summer long, even the one-year size; best about them, however, is the beauty of the 
flowers, in form, color, fragrance, every way; but read the descriptions, and note that most of them are 
illustrated elsewhere. If planted in your garden you’ll like them, we are sure.

GeniUmm: ** HONEST, PROMPT, GENEROUS ” 
I'd like you to know what a pleasure the Roses we got from you 
have been to us. We have grown Roses for thirty years, and many of them 
came from your house. The last ones, especially, that you sent iis, have 
done unusually well. Our Rose garden has been the delight of our entire 
neighborhood. 
The Hybrid Perpetual Roses were a sight to behold all through June 
and a part of July, and there has ftof been a day since that we could not 
other a fine bouquet of Tea Roses —the latter all came from Conard & Jones. 
always recommend you to my Rose-loving friends, as honest, prompt, 
generous, and careful dealers. Mrs. A V. McA., Lansing, Mich. 
Gentlemen: “GREAT SATISFACTION GIVEN" 
Having received about 25 Rose bushes the past two years from your 
nurseries, I wish to tell you the great satisfaction they have given. They 
started to bloom at once and are never without the whole season and they 
have from five to ten buds on most every bush at the present time. I have 
had congratulations from some of the best Rose growers in our city, both 
on the healthy condition of the bushes and the fine bloom. I wish to thank 
you for the interest you took in my order and the fine healthy bushes I 
received. I wish to share my congratulations with you. and 1 can assure 
you I never forget to mention the Conard & Jones Co., when talking 
Roses with my friends. Yours truly, Wm. D., Trenton, N. J.
