HARDY CM>IBIXr. ROSES — Continued. 



Climbing Pink Killarney 



Six years ago we offered for the first time a climbing 

 type of the famous pink Rose, Killarney, the most cele- 

 brated Hybrid Tea of its color yet introduced. Repeated 

 trials both in our grounds and by our friends who pur- 

 chased this marvelous Rose, and who have written very 

 enthusiastic letters about it, confirm the statements we made 

 In regard to it. The beautiful flowers of this wonderful 

 Rose are identical with the parent variety, but the bush is 

 of the climbing habit of growth, placing it at once in a class 

 by itself. It is a strong, rapid grower, growing to perfection 

 in the open ground, throwing up shoots 10 to 15 feet high in 

 a single season, and is entirely hardy. It blooms continu- 

 ously throughout the season, and the flowers are magnifi- 

 cent beyond description, immense, long, pointed buds with 

 massive petals, opening into flowers of enormous size; color 

 deep pink, bright and sparkling, an exquisite shade, delici- 

 ously fragrant; in fact, one of the greatest new Roses we 

 ever offered. Our stock is limited. Early orders are there- 

 fore advisable, even if you do not wish to plant at once. 

 We will carefully set aside the plants, delivering them at 

 any time desired.
