THE 

 ONLY WHITE. 

 HARDY. EVER- 

 BLOOMING, CLIMBING ROSE 



Mrs. Robert Peary' 



Introduced and for Sale by The Dirgee & Conard Company 



Mrs. Robert Peary is an offspring of that groat 

 bardy. ever-blooming Rose, Kaiserin Augusta Vic- 

 toria.* We paid $500 for the original plant growing in 

 a four-inch pot, and considered it cheap at that price. 

 It. was named in honor of Mrs. Robert Peary, that in- 

 trepid woman who braved the perils of the frozen 

 Northern desert with her husband in his attempt to 

 reach the North Pole. We regard the name as 

 a worthy tribute to American women in general, 

 in whose honor we have dedicated this grand 

 new Rose. It is a strong and rapid grower, 

 without a weak spot, growing to perfec- 

 tion in the open ground, and throwing np 

 'numerous shoots lO to I •"> feet high. It is as 

 hardy as any Hybrid Perpetual or Mos.» 

 Rose, and will withstand, unprotected, the 

 most severe Winters. Small plants bloom con- 

 tinuously throughout the season, not once or twice, 

 but all the time just as does its parent. The flowers 

 are simply magnificent. No illustration will do 

 them justice. They are the equals of the finest and 

 most beautiful cut-flower Roses. Of splendid sub- 

 stance, extra large, full, deep and double, they are 

 produced on long stiff stems, like a forcing Rose. 

 The buds are long and pointed, exquisitely 

 modeled and gracefully finished, while the 

 fragrance is nothing short of delicious. Is a 

 quick-growing, absolutely hardy, sure-to-bloom Rose, 

 and one that will give you flowers this season. This 

 is the only pure white variety that will do it. It is as 

 free-blooming as Climbing Clotilde Soupert and is the 

 greatest introduction in Climbing Roses, not excepting 

 Crimson Rambler and Climbing Clotilde boupert, in 

 the last quarter of a century. Our stock is genuine. 



Mrs. Eli Brooks, Mayville, Michigan, -writes us :

 than Mrs. Peary.''
