NEW ROSE 



White Killarney 



We Know You Will Want to Buy White Killarney 



Every live, progressive^ up-to-date grower who has seen it is buying it ; but when you buy 

 White Killarney, be sure you get the right White Killarney [the Waban variety]. When you 

 buy from us^ you get the variety that has been exhibited and certificated, and the one that has 

 attracted such favorable attention. There have been several white sports of Killarney, which are 

 very much inferior to the White Killarney that we have been offering and exhibiting — the one that 

 has made the reputation for White Killarney. The superiority of our sport is admitted even by 

 those who have the other sports. * 



It may seem strange, but the bud of White Killarney is much larger and fuller than the bud 

 of the pink Killarney. 



If you are in the vicinity of New York, we should be glad to have you call and see White 

 Killarney growing at our Scarborough range, and you will say at a glance — as everyone has who 

 has seen it growing — that it is by far the best white rose that has ever been placed on the market. 



It is not only a good winter-flowering rose, but is good the entire year, for which reason it will 

 supersede Bride and Kaiserin, neither of which covers the entire season. In addition to this, it is a 

 splendid shipper. We have shipped flowers as far as Dallas, Tex., and they have reached destina- 

 tion in perfect order. In confirmation of this statement, we take pleasure in reproducing a letter just 

 received from Mr. Willis N. Rudd, Secretary of the Society of American Florists, dated January 18, 

 in which he writes as follows : 



DEAR MR.PIERSON:- 



I cannot refrain from writing; you and expressing my admiration for the White Killarney as shown at Chicago on 

 Thursday. It is an exquisitely beautiful thing, and attracted much attention I took half the blooms home with me, and 

 they were finer on Saturday than they were at the show. The record is that these blooms were shipped from Tarrytown, 

 staged and exhibited during the afternoon. They were then carelessly wrapped up in a box, and remained in that box unti^ 

 1 o'clock Friday morning, at which time I reached home ; improved in quality up to Saturday, and were in fairly 

 presentable condition on Sunday. 



In addition to being the most beautiful white rose of its class which I have seen, this demonstrates its splendid keeping 

 and shipping qualities. W. N. RUDD.

FOR BEST NEW ROSE 



with 



WHITE KILLARNEY 



We have a fine stock of White Killarney, but, owing to the large number of orders that are 

 constantly being booked, if you want early delivery, it will be wise to place your order before long. 

 Better do it now, while you think of it. You will regret it if you do not buy it this season in 

 quantity, and you will not regret it if you do. It is the best new rose that has been introduced in years. 



Strong plants, 2X-inch pots, own root, $30.00 per 100; 250 for $70.00; 500 for $125.00; 

 1000 for $250.00. Grafted plants, $5.00 per 100 additional.
