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 ; btit when you buy 

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

 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 

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

 January (8, 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 until 

 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 hav« seen, this demonstrates its splendid keeping 

 and shipping qualities. V. N. RUDD.
