The 

 onlv White, 

 Hardy, Ever- 

 Blooming, Climbing Rose 



Mrs. Robert Peary 



introduced and for Sale by The Dingee & Conard Co 



Mrs. Robert Peary is an offspring of that grea: 

 hardy, ever-blooming Rose, Kaiserin Augusta Vi.- 

 [toria. We paid $.jOu for the original plant growing 

 lin a four- inch pot, and considered it cheap at that j 

 [price. It was named in honor of ]Mrs. Robert Pear>', 

 that intrepid 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, m whose honor we have dedicated thi.s] 

 grand new Rose. It is a strong and rapid 

 grower, without a weak spot, growing to per- 

 . faction in the open ground, and throwing up| 

 numerous shoots 10 to 15 feet high. It is as 

 hardy as any Hybrid Perpetual or Moss Rose, 

 and will withstand, unprotected, the most severe] 

 ''Winters. Small plants bloom continuously through- 

 lout 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 

 lout-flower Roses. Of splendid substance, 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 de- 

 licious. 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 

 I that will do it. It is as free-blooming as Climbing 

 Clotilde Soupert. and is the greatest introduction in 

 IClimbing Roses, not excepting Crimson Rambler and 

 Climbing Clotilde Soupert. in the last quarter of a 

 Icenturv'. Our stock is genuine. 



Mrs. Eli Brooks. Mayville. Mich., writes us:

 were Just qrand. Words cannot express the 

 beauty of Mrs. Robert Peary. I have a great 

 many fine Roses, but none finer than Mrs. 

 Peary."
