Keystone 



THE FIRST AND ONLY HARDY EVERBLOOM- 

 ING YELLOW CLIMBING ROSE 



Introduced by the Dingee & Conard Company 



Our claim that this is the first hardy, everbloom- 

 ing, yellow climbing Rose, remains undisputed. 

 Keystone has been thoroughly tested and found to 

 have any number of strong points. It grows more 

 freely than any other clinabing Rose, is perfectly 

 hardy everywhere, blooms in wonderful profusion, 

 is absolutely immune from insect attacks, and has 

 a vigor of constitution found in no other kind. The 

 open flower of Keystone is perfectly double, with 

 buds beautifully formed. It is a deep lemon-yellow 

 Rose, similar to Coquette de Lyon. The fragrance is 

 very much like that of magnolia blossoms. It readily 

 attains a height of 15 feet in a single season, branch- 

 ing freely, and has always come through the winter 

 without damage, even in the most exposed situa- 

 tions, not requiring protection. Keystone possesses 

 every feature that denotes a good Rose, and its 

 free-blooming qualities make it indispensable in 

 every Rose garden. Strong, one-year-old plants, 

 15 cts. each, $1 for 9, $1.30 per doz.; larger size, 

 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3, postpaid; two-year -eld
