Mardy Climbing Roses (Cont’d)—New Floral Guide—Spring, 1906. 35 
NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE 
“American Pillar’ 
Introduced (1906) and for sale only by 
THE CONARD & JONES CO. 
WEST GROVE, PA. 
F EVER there was a rose constituted to stand the trying condi- 
tions of our American climate, we have it in this unique New 
Hardy Rose described below. 
We have tested American Pillar severely, and believe it to be 
one of the hardiest roses grown. Will thrive in poor soil as well 
as rich and insists on growing vigorously. It has stout thick curving 
branches, rather thorny but furnished with an abundance of glossy 
dark-green leaves. Each stem has 9 leaflets instead of the usual 
7 or 5,a kind of double supply which gives the busha very rich effect. 
It is one of the first to start growth in the early Spring and here 
holds its leaves of lively green till far past Thanksgiving Day, and 
never have we seen it troubled with insects. In early June it begins 
to bloom; large single flowers measuring 3 to 5 inches across and 
very durable. They are borne in immense clusters and make a 
remarkable sight. The color is a chaste shade of pink, while in the 
centre of each flower is a large cluster of bright yellow stamens. 
In the Autumn the bush becomes covered with pretty clusters of 
brilliant red fruit. These seed hips hang on through the Winter to 
brighten the bushes and feed the birds. ‘‘ American Pillar’ is 
truly a record rose, one of the most ornamental and satisfactory we 
have ever introduced. 
PRICE.—25 cts. each, or larger size, 35 cts., 
postpaid. Two-year, 50 cts.; extra size, two- 
year, 75 cts.; three-year, largest field grown 
plants, $1.00 each, by express. $1.25 delivered.
