The Only Hardy, Ever-Blooming, 

 Yellow Climbing Rose 



{Introduced and for sale any by The Dingee & Conard Co.) 



'HIS is the first hardy ever-bloominjj yellow Climbing 

 Rose, and we take a pardonable pride iu its introduc- 

 tion. We have named it in honor of Pennsylvania the 

 Keystone State. Up to this time there has not betn a free- 

 blooming Climbing Rose of this color sufficiently hardy to 

 withstand the rigors of the most severe nonhern winteis! A 

 Rose of this character, therefore, is a very important intro- 

 duction, and we predict for it that it will become as popular 

 as our new white, hardy, ever-blooming Climbing Ro-e. J/)>. 

 Rdbert Pfary, which has become the most famous variety of 

 its color in the world. Keystone has been thoroughly tested, 

 and for want of space we will give but a brief enumeration 

 of its strong points. It is a freer growing Rose than any other 

 climbing variety in the list, absolutely impervious to insect 

 attacks and ha^ a remarkably vigorous constitution. The 

 open flower is perfectly double, resembling Clotilde Sou pert ; buds beautifully 

 formed; color deep, lemon yellow, similar to Coquette de Lyon. Fragran. e 

 delicious, like that of Magnolia blossoms. It readily attains a height of 15 feet 

 in a single season, branching freely, and has withstood, undamaged, Winter 

 afier Winter, in the most exposed situation, without proteciion, constant tem- 

 ]it'ratures of 10 to 20 degrees below zero. It possesses every feature that a good 

 Rose should have, and the fact that it is free blooming makes it almost indi>- 

 pensable. There is no other variety to compete with it. It is the most .sensa- 

 tional Rose we have ever introduced, and one that will give absolute satisfjic- 

 tion. Hardy everywhere. (See color plate illudration, page 35.)

The New German 

 Rambler 

 Rose, "Rubin"/ 



(For sale only by The 

 Dingee & Conard Co. ) 



When we .'^ay that 

 this variety, point for 

 point, is a better Rose 

 than Crimson liambler, 

 it needs no further recommendation. 

 It is a much stronger grower, has far 

 better foliage, being entirely free from 

 mildew in the open ground. The 

 flowers are borne in loose, gracefttl cl us- 

 ters, are larger and more double than 

 Crimson Hamblcr, while the^ color is brit;hler-shining 

 crimson-scarlet. The single flower of itself is ex- 

 tremely handsome. Perfectly hardy in all localities, 

 a strong, rampant climber, and so entirely di.stiuct 

 Irom Crimson Rambler that it will make a "worthy 

 companion for that famous variety. Awarded 

 a certiflcate of meiit by the German National 

 Rose Society, the highest honor that can 

 be given a Rose. 



We have tested it thoroughlv, and it 

 has onr unqnalified recommendation.
