Our Sensational New Rose "Keystone " 



THE ONLY HAR.DT, EVCR-BLOOniNO, YELLOW CLIMBING ROJE 



Introduced and for sale only by The Dingee & Canard Co. 



When we introduced Mrs. Robert Peary, we gave to the Rose- 

 loving public the first pure white, hardy, ever-bloouilDg 

 climbing Rose, and it has become the most famous variety of 

 its color in the world. In introducing this superb new yellow 

 Climbing Rose, we take a conscious pride in naming it in 

 honor of Pennsylvania, the Keystone State, as well as in, the 

 fact that it is the first hardy, ever-blooming, yellow 

 Climbing variety. When we say «< hardy," we mean that it 

 will withstand the rigors of the most severe Northern Winters, 

 and those who have been looking for ^ iiose of this character 

 will appreciate this valuable feature. It has been thoroughly 

 tested, and is a far freer growing Rose than Mrs. Bobert Peary, 

 absolutely impervious to insect attacks, with a vigor of con- 

 stitution seldom found in any Rose. The open flower, while 

 not so perfectly finished as Mrs. Robert Peary, is extremely 

 graceful in formation, of splendid substance, perfectly double, 

 resembling Clotilde Soupert; buds beautifully formed; the 

 color Is deep leiuon yellow, similar to Coquette de Lyon. 



The fragrance is delicious, very similar to that of Magnolia 

 blossoms. We want to lay particular stress on the vigor of 

 growth; it readily attains a height ol 15 feet in a single sea- 

 son, branching freely. It has withstood, undamaged. Winter 

 after Winter, in the most exposed situation, without protec- 

 tion, constant temperatures of 10 to 20 degrees below zero. 

 Nothing con Id be asked that this Rose does not possess. The 

 fact that it is free blooming stamps it as the most remarkable 

 introduction of latter years. There is no vother variety to 

 compete with it. The foliage, smaller than that of Mrs. Robert 

 Peary, is of thin, leathery substance, singularly free from 

 disease. One of the most sensational Roses we have ever 

 introduced, and one that will give absolute satisfaction. 

 (See further description and illustration, page 24.) 

 The entire stock of this variety is in our possession, 

 and genuine plants can be secured only from us.

The New German Rambler Rose Rubin 



:For sale only by The 



When we say that this variety, point for point, is a better 

 Rose than CHmson Rambler, it needs no further recommenda- 

 tion. It is a much stronger grower, has far better foliage, 

 being entirely iree from mildew in the open ground. The 

 flowers are borne in loose, graceful clusters, are larger and 

 more double than Crimson Rambler, while the color is brighter 

 — shining crimson-scarlet. The single flower of itself is 

 extremely handsome. Perfectly hardy in all localities, a 

 strong, rampant climber, and so entirely distinpt from Crim-

son Rambler that it will make a worthy companion for that 

 famous variety. Awarded a certificate of merit by the German 

 National Rose Society, the highest honor that can be given a 

 Rose, 



We have tested it thoroughly, and it has our unqualified 

 recommendation.

The Only White, Hardy, Ever-blooming, Climbing Rose, Mrs. Robert Peary 



Introduced by The Dingee & Conard Co, 



A description of this superb, well-known Variety is almost 

 unnecessary. A climbing oflFspring of that great Rose Kaiser in 

 Augusta Victoria, and named in honor of one of America's 

 most noble women. It is a strong, rapid grower, attaining 

 perfection in the open ground, in a single season, throwing 

 out numerous shoots 10 to fifteen feet high. It produces con- 

 tinuously truly magnificent flowers, of splendid substance, 

 extra large, full, deep and double, on long, stifl:' stems, the 

 equal of the finest cut-flower Roses. The buds are long and 

 pointed, exquisitely modeled, while the fragrance is delicious. 



Perfectlv hardy everywhere, and will stand unprotected the 

 most severe winters. Our estimation of this variety can best 

 be shown by siating that we paid $500 for the original plant 

 growing in a four inch pot, and considered it cheap at that 

 price. Truly a great Rose, and one that should be in every 

 collection.

New Hardy, Ever-blooming Rose, Climbing Clotilde Soupert 



Offered for the first time in 1901 by the ningee A Conard Co. 



Clotilde Soupert is known to be the greatest dwarf Rose for 

 general cultivation. In 1901 we offered for the first time 

 this grand new climbing off'spring of Clotilde Soupert, and 

 have received the most gratifying- testimonials of its worth. 

 It has the same vigorous, hardy constitution of its parent, a 

 truly wonderful freedom of bloom and extreme hardiness. 

 In a single season small plants will throw up shoot after 

 shoot, 15 feet and over, producing hundreds of clusters of the 

 finest formed flowers, perfectly distinct, round, flat and 

 double, with beautifully imbricated petals. The color Is 



waxy ^lilte, shading towards the center to silvery 

 rose. With us it has withstood a temperature of 20 degrees 

 below zero, without the slightest protection. This places it 

 in the front rank of the greatest Hardy Clfmbingr Roses. 



It will please you in every particular.
