Ever Fair Killarney 



Every rose lover knows what a magnificent aH 'round garden rose Killamey 

 is, with its vigorous growth and splendid blooms the season through. Last year 

 we sent out the Improved Killamey — a sport with double the petalage of the 

 original Pink Killamey. That rose has created a great sensation, all the com- 

 mercial growers having gone into it. This year we offer an Improved White 

 Killarney, also a sport, with double the petalage of the original White Killarney. 

 Usually such roses as these are offered only to the commercial cut flower growers 

 the first year — others not getting them until the second or third year. 



Our New Departure 



gives the amateur a chance to get these the first year. We will send strong 

 healthy plants of the Improved Double White Killarney post paid at 75c 

 each, two for $1.00. We can also furnish at same prices, two other new (1912) 

 varieties namely: — Killamey Queen, similar to the original Pink Killarney but 

 three shades darker, and Sunburst, a wonderful new yellow hybrid tea, ranking 

 with Killarney and American Beauty in size and grandeur. 



For 50c each, three for $1.00, we can furnish the sensational new rose of 

 1911 — Double Pink Killamey, with double the petalage of the original Pink 

 Killarney. and the following four great commercial cut flower roses of recent 

 introduction, at same prices; Mrs. Aaron Ward, Indian yellow, very free, a 

 wonder in its class. Irish Melody, the new Dickson yellow, Killarney blood, 

 a splendid variety. Mrs. Taft, (Prince de Bulgarie. Antoine Rivoire), a 

 beautiful shell pink, one ot the loveliest roses imaginable. Lady Hillingdon, 

 clear yellow deepening towards the center. The sensation of the metropolitan 

 cut flower markets the past few months. 



If you wish to obtain the 



Ultima Thule in Roses 



(the furthest point yet) this year, you must have all of the foregoing in your garden. We will send you fine healthy young 

 plants which will give you good satisfaction. As stocks are limited, orders should be placed at once. Same will be filled 

 strictly in rotation, according to date of receipt. Orders reaching us too late, money promptly refunded.
