Mrs. Robert Peary 



THE ONLY WHITE, 

 HARDY. EVERBLOOMING CLIMBING ROSE 



Introduced and for sale by 

 The Dingee & Conard Co. 



This Rose is a strong and rapid grower, without 

 a weak point, coming to perfection in the open 

 ground and throwing up shoots 10 to 15 feet high. 

 It is as hardy as any white perpetual or Moss 

 Roses and will withstand the most severe winters 

 improtected. Small plants of Mrs. Robert Peary 

 will bloom continuously throughout the season, 

 not once or twice, but all the time. The flowers 

 are magnificent beyond description. No illustra- 

 tion can show their exquisite beauty. The buds 

 are long and pointed, finely modeled and grace- 

 fully finished, while the fragrance is indeed de- 

 »- licious. The flowers, when open, are of splendid 

 substance, extra-large, deep and double, produced 

 on long, stiff stems, like those of a forcing Rose. 

 This Rose is quick-growing, absolutely hardy, 

 and is sure to bloom. It is the only pure white 

 Climbing Rose that will give you flowers the first 

 year and throughout the season. It was named 

 in honor of Mrs. Robert Peary, who braved the 

 rigors of the Arctic regions with her husband in 

 his attempt to reach the North Pole, and, in 

 giving it the name, we did so to pay a worthy 

 tribute to American women in general. The oi Igi- 

 nal plant of this Rose, growing in a 4-inch pot, 

 cost us S500, and we considered it cheap at that 

 price. Mrs. Robert Peary is an offspring of the 

 great Rose, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Strong, 

 one-year-old plants, 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3, $1 

 for 7 ; larger size, 25 cts. each, $1 for 5, postpaid.
