AMERICAN PILLAR 



Introduced by The Conard & Jones Company 



Gentlemen: % July 12, 1909 



Let me tell you, too, that the American Pillar is a better 

 Rose than you know, perhaps. The plant I had from you, 

 which was planted this Spring under unfavorable conditions, is 

 now giving us a succession of most exquisite bloom. 



Yours truly, J. Horace McFarland, 

 Pres. of American Civic Association, Harrisburg, Penna. 



Large single flowers of rich, rosy pink approaching 

 brilliant carmine, just a glint of white in the center, and 

 stamens yellow. But it is most charming because of its 

 intense blush of loveliness that almost completely covers 

 the foliage. Just blossoms — four to six layers deep, and 

 arranged in 100 flowered clusters all over. We estimated 

 certainly not less than 3000 on one young bush. 



A tremendous grower, with its thick vigorous canes, 

 it is without doubt one of the most valuable single 

 Climbing Roses in existence. 



It began blooming here in early June and continued 

 till far past the Fourth of July. The foliage itself is 

 beautiful with broad, round, dark green leaflets, tough, 

 shiny and quite insect proof. 



In the Autumn it is again a brilliant show of color 

 with its pretty clusters of bright red seed hips 



Price, one-year size, 25c. each; larger size, 35c, post- 

 paid. Two-year size, 50c; three-year size, $1.00 each, 

 by express, purchaser paying charges; or 3 two-year 

 size for $1.75, delivered in U. S. A. 



COMMENT FROM THE LONDON GARDEN 



"A most notable feature in this glorious display (Temple 

 Flower Show in London) was the New ' American Pillar ' Rose. 

 The large and attractive rich rose pink blooms are produced 

 in immense clusters, the white centers of the blooms adding to 

 their attractiveness. — Florists 1 Exchange."

Climbing: Frau Karl Druschki am^r/can beauty 



No Rose of recent years has taken the public more by storm than 

 the wonderful ever-blooming hardy white Rose, Frau Karl Druschki, 

 or White American Beauty. (See page 2.) 



It is therefore with unbounded pleasure we are able to offer its exact 

 counterpart in a climber — which, so far as tested, has shown every one 

 of the many splendid characteristics of its parent. 



We cordially recommend it. Price, one-year size, 50c each, postpaid.
