Series II. Financial records, 1897-1997

Series II, "Financial records, 1897 - 1997," includes transactional and documentary material concerning financial activities conducted during the course of retail and wholesale business at Conard-Pyle. There are sales invoices, journals of operating expenses, bank account summaries, and annual financial reports. Some of the sales books, as well as additional account books, are in the form of oversize ledgers, and are stored apart from the majority of the series content. The large number of sales books in this series is particularly notable, as they provide an unbroken financial history of the company's retail operations, dating from the company's founding as Conard-Jones in 1897 to the permanent cessation of the retail business in 1978. Unfortunately, there are no records to document the receipt or payment of royalty monies as these transactions fell under the domain of a separate Licensing Department when active. They may be found alongside the records of that department in series IV. This series is arranged alphabetically by subject.

Series V. Marketing, promotions and advertising, 1876-2000

Series V, "Marketing, promotions and advertising, 1876-2000," contains material related to Conard-Pyle's advertising and marketing operations. This series is further organized into nine subseries: "Advertising, 1910-1991," "Catalogs, 1876-2000," "Price lists and buyer's guides, 1973-1999," "Mail order, 1960-1999," "Catalog production records, 1957-1994," "Publishing firms, 1964-1988," "Rose show covers, 1972-1985," "Press releases, 1963-1990," and "Catalogs for other nurseries, circa 1970-1990." Original folder titles were retained whenever possible.

Subseries V.A. Advertising, 1910-1991

Contains all materials related to Conard-Pyle's promotion, publicity, and advertising, for both individual flower varieties and for the company as a whole. In particular, there is correspondence with advertising agencies such as Charles Blum Advertising, Dickson Associates Advertising, and the Fondren/Miller Advertising Agency, as well as magazine advertisements and promotional materials. The promotional material forms the bulk of the subseries, and consists of printed flyers, inserts, mailers, folders and advertising posters for the company and individual flowers, all of which were distributed to customers with catalogs or by mail. The majority of this material pertains to the company's retail business before its 1970s conversion to an exclusively wholesale enterprise. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by subject.

Series X. Individual flowers, 1905-1991

Contains material relating directly to specific varieties of plants bred or licensed by the Conard-Pyle Company. Each individual file is devoted to a single variety of plant, of which the majority is roses, and contains documentation relating to the patenting, licensing and the transferring of such rights from hybridizer to grower. Many files also include photographs and descriptive narratives about each variety, as well as any relevant correspondence between the original hybridizer and the Conard-Pyle Company. Also included, for those files concerning licensed plants, are patent assignments or other transfers of rights and ownership. Many varieties of rose are represented, including a large selection of AARS award-winners such as "Scarlet Knight," "Bonica," "White Knight," "Scarabande," "Fire King" and "Carefree Wonder." This series is arranged alphabetically by variety name.
