(ROSA GIGANTEA.) 



A Wonderful New Climbing Rose from India. 



(For Sale only by The Dingee &. Conard Co.) 

 GROWS 40 FEET IN ONE SEASON I 



We believe that without exception this is one of 

 the most valuable and interesting Rose novelties 

 we have ever offered to the public. This wonder 

 among Roses was sent to us from India, that far eastern 

 land where almost impossible feats of legerdemain are 

 performed by the Hindustani magicians. This Rose 

 must have originated at the hands of one of these 

 magicians, inasmuch as its rapidity of growth is noth- 

 ing less than marvelous. 



Within a season yoting plants 

 grow as if by magic to the in- 

 cfedible height of 40 feet and over. 



It throws up numerous strong canes and bears large, single 



~" Flowers 5 to 6 inches across, 



which in color are pure bright pink. The flowers are very handsome 



and of such immense size as to attract instant attention wherever 



seen. The foliage is ditferent from that of any Rose we have ever seen 



— very dark, of medium size, long and leathery, and is singularly free 



from all attacks of insects. The growth, foliage and flower of this variety 



is totally unlike anything yet offered in Roses. It is hardy with protection. 



We believe that it will adapt itself to any soil or climate. As a new Rose possessing 



extraordinary and valuable features, we expect this variety to become exceedingly popular. 



You will make no mistake in planting it.
