STAR ROSES 










*VICTORIA HARRINGTON. H.T. Red. A very 
dark, velvety red with an unusual flame-red under- 
glow, the red lightened by a flush of gold in the heart 
of the flower. The color does not blue or fade, even 
in hot weather. Large, double blooms with an at- 
tractively curved petal formation. Intense, spicy 
fragrance. Large, dark, leathery foliage on a tall, 
vigorous plant. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35. 
*VILLE DE PARIS. H.T. Sunshine-yellow. Ex- 
quisite, 20-petaled, pure yellow blooms with shell- 
shaped petals that open to cups filled with delicate 
Marechal Niel fragrance. The finely formed flowers 
are of good size and texture. Erect, bronzy canes with 
dark reddish green, glossy foliage. Very vigorous. 
$1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35.

12 OUR SELECTION SET 849 
2 year-old, field-grown No. 1 Hybrid Tea Star Roses, no two alike in the 
same set of 12. Postage prepaid on all orders received before April 10 
We think this is about the biggest value in our catalog because we are often able to include some high- 
priced Roses which, if especially ordered separately at the regular rate, would cost you more. It is like this: 
it is impossible for us to tell in advance precisely how many plants of each variety people will order. Sometimes 
the better kinds are not most in demand. There is not a variety in our catalog that is not well worth having, so 
you run no risk in getting this set or several sets and being sure of an excellent variety of up-to-date kinds. 
‘Our Selection” sets of Roses have always been one 
of our most popular specialties. During the present 
shortage of Roses it becomes an even more desirable 
way to order Rose plants, since these orders can be filled 
as long as we have plants of 12 different varieties. You 
will not be disappointed. 
Please remember that these are Star Roses, separately 
labeled with permanent celluloid Star Labels, each and 
every one guaranteed to bloom.

THE CONARD-PYLE CO. 
There are many ways in which a dozen good Rose 
plants can be placed on the home grounds to add beauty 
and interest. Hybrid Teas are usually spaced 18 to 24 
inches apart, though some growers plant as close as 15 
inches and others like a very wide spacing; 18 inches is 
ordinarily the most advised. At that spacing, ‘‘Our 
Selection’? dozen could be used to form a single-row 
border 18 feet long, along the sides of a garage, along a 
walk, driveway or property line, or to mark a division of 
areas, such as for separating the lawn from the vegetable 
or perennial garden. 
For a double row or bed, the 12 Roses can be well 
grown in an area 3 by 9 feet. Using three rows of plants 
for a bed of different shape, the area would be about 
414 by 7 feet. Plant 9 inches away from edge of bed. 
In warmer climates or where Roses grow more vigor- 
ously and a 24-inch spacing is preferred, the dozen Roses 
would need a third more space.
