SUPERB, NEW, 

 EVER=BLOOMINQ 



CLIMBING R0SE5 



Introduced and for 5ale by THE DINQEE & CONARD CO. 



CLIMBING BRIDESMAID. — Bridesmaid, the parent 

 of this wonderful new climbing Rose, is the stand- 

 ard pink cut flower Rose of America, and there is no 

 more beautiful Rose in cultivation. It has many rivals, 

 but as yet holds its own as one of the greatest varieties 

 in commerce, representing the highest degree of beauty 

 yet attained in a Rose of this class. Climbing Brides- 

 maid, like its parent, is a remarkably hardy, strong- 

 growing climber, and possesses all the features that 

 might be asked for in any Rose. When first offered the 

 popularity of this variety was assured, owing to the 

 general favor in which the parent variety was held. 

 Despite our efforts to grow it in large quantities, we 

 have never been able to supply the demand for it. We 

 want all our customers to try this Rose, and we are 

 positive that they will share our good opinion of it. 

 It grows rapidly, attaining a height of lo to 15 feet 

 in a single season, and bears the first year as freely as 

 does Bridesmaid, producing in constant profusion 

 beautiful clear, dark-pink flowers, which in the bud 

 and when fully open are simply superb. We have to 

 offer a fine stock of this variety and can assure our 

 customers that they will be particularly pleased 

 with it. 



Strong Plants, 15 cts. each; 2 for 25 cts.; 5 for 

 50 cts. ; 10 for $1.00, postpaid. Two-year-old 

 plants, 40 cts. each ; 2 for 75 cts., by Express. 



CLIMBING MARIE GUILLOT.— While there are 

 many white varieties of unquestionable excellence, 

 there are none more reliable for outdoor cultivation 

 than Marie Guillot. The variety here offered is an 

 offspring from this grand variety long termed "The 

 Queen of White Roses," and possesses all the valuable 

 features of its famous parent, from which it differs 

 only in habit of growth. It is one of the most rapid- 

 growing and vigorous Climbing Roses we have ever 

 seen, small plants making a growth of from 10 to 20 

 feet in five months. It blooms continuously *krough- 

 out the season, the first and every year. The flowers 

 are magnificently made, extra large, deep and double. 

 The buds are particularly beautiful and the fragrance 

 delightful. The color is pure snow white, sometimes 

 faintly tinged toward the centre with pale yellow. 

 It is an exceedingly healthy Rose, possessing every 

 attribute that a perfect Rose should have. It will 

 prove moderately hardy with protection, but it will be 

 seen at its best in the South, Southwest and Pacific 

 Coast States (where the Winters are mild). It will 

 bloom the year round in the South; and wherever 

 Marechal Niel is grown, will undoubtedly equal it 

 in beauty of flowers and surpass it in vigor of growth. 



Strong Plants, 15 cts. each; 2 for 25 cts.; 5 for 

 50 cts.; 10 for $1.00, postpaid. Two-year-old 

 plants, 35 cts. each; 3 for $1.00, by Express.
