''' White Killarney 



The Famous Irish Rose. 



This queen of the Irish Roses excels any other of 

 its class and color yet introduced, and by many is 

 recognized as the most beautiful, hardy, everbloom- 

 ing Hybrid Tea Rose now under cultivation. Each 

 season since it was introduced Killarney has in- 

 creased in popularity, and the demand has always 

 exceeded the supply. We have an immense quantity, 

 however, and guarantee every plant to be true to 

 name. The bush is strong and upright, with beauti- 

 ful, deep bronzy green foliage, and the Rose is en- 

 tirely free-blooming, bearing immense, long pointed 

 buds and massive flowers on big, heavy shoots. The 

 color ^s deep, brilliant and sparkling shell-pink, of 

 the most exquisite shade. The flowers are of de- 

 lightful fragrance, immense size, and have thick pet- 

 als of great substance. Killarney is unusually hardy 

 and without protection has withstood severe winters 

 as far north as Boston. Strong one-year-old plants, 

 20c each; 3 for 50c, postpaid. Extra strong two- 

 year-old plants, on own roots, 50c each.

 the most exquisite white Roses grown. The long, 

 full buds are handsome in shape and the full-open 

 flower most refined and beautiful in form and text- 

 ure. Strong plants, 20c each; 6 for $1.00, postpaid; 

 two-year-old plants, 50c each.

The Dainty Single Irish Roses 



Single Irish Roses, which are so marvelously free- 

 flowering, it is almost impossible to praise them 

 too highly. During the entire growing season they 

 are virtually always in bloom; their lasting qualities 

 are quite surprising. One of the best features about 

 these Roses is the beauty of the buds, which are 

 charming in color and form, making them excep- 

 tionally fine for decorative purposes and bouquets. 



IRISH BRIGHTNESS— Vivid crimson, shaded pink 

 at base of petals. 



IRISH MODESTY— Color delicate coral-pink suf- 

 fused from base of petals with ecru. Large and 

 very plentifully produced. This is an exceptionally 

 good sort. 



IRISH ELEGANCE— Bronze orange-scarlet, which 

 when expanded assumes various apricot hues. 

 Profuse bloomer from early June until after frost; 

 exceptionally fine for decorative purposes. 



IRISH FIREFLAME— Beautiful orange, splashed 

 with crimson buds, which become fiery orange- 

 crimson as the buds develop, changing to a solid 

 delicate orange, which becomes as the flower fully 

 opens satiny gold, delicately sheened with pure 

 lemon zone, against which the light fawny anthers 

 form a beautiful contrast.
