introduced and for Sale by The Dingee & Conard Company 



3Irs. Robert Peary is an offspring of that great hardj-, ever- 

 blooming Rose, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. We paid 1500 for 

 the origlual plant growing In a four-inch pot, and considered 

 it cheap at that price. It was named in honor of Mrs. Robert 

 Peary, 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, in whose honor 

 ■^e have dedicated this grand new Rose. It is a strong 

 and. rapid grower, >vithoiit a weak spot, grow- 

 ing to perfection in tlie open gronnd, and tliro^v- 

 ■-' ing lip numerous shoots 10 to 15 feet liigh. It is 

 as hardy as any Hybrid Perpetual or 3Ioss Rose, 

 and ^vlll w^ithstand, nnproteeted, the most severe 

 "Winters. Small plants bloom continuously throughout 

 the season, not once or twice, but all the time, just as does 

 Its parent. The flo^vers are simply magnificent. 

 No illustration will do them justice. They are the equals of 

 the finest and most beautiful cut-flower Roses. Of splendid 

 substance, extra large, full, deep and double, they are pro- 

 duced on long, stiff stems like a forcing Rose. The hnds 

 are long and pointed, exquisitely modeled and 

 gracefully finished, while the fragrance is nothing 

 sliort of delicious. Is a quick-growing, absolutely hardy, 

 sure-to-bloom Rose, and one that will give vnu flowers this 

 season. This is the only pure white variety that will do it. 

 It is as free blooming as Climhinn Clotilde Soupert, and is the 

 greatest introduction in Climbing Roses, not excepting 

 Crimson Rambler and aimbinn Clotilde Soupert, in the last 

 quarter of a century. Our stock is genuine.
