A Grand New 

 Ever-blooming Rose 



Climbing Meteor 



ASIDE from Climbing JYootten, we have no red 

 climbing Rose of any class to compare with 

 this superb new variety. It has been called the " Per- 

 petual-blooming Jacqueminot" because of its freedorn of 

 bloom and its exquisitely shaped buds and flowers which 

 resemble that famous variety. 'Climbing Meteor is a sport ^ 

 from Meteor, a free-blooming Hybrid Tea Rose, famous for 

 its magnificent flowers. It has the true climbing habit, 

 attaining the height of 10 to 15 feet in a single season. It 

 is a free persistent bloomer, producing in great pro- 

 fusion, throughout the growing season, magnificently 

 formed buds and flowers, which in color are dark 

 velvety crimson, the equal of any Rose in cultiva- 

 tion, and, if anything, more do wing 

 than its illustrious parent. Jz is hardy 

 with protection, and wherever grown 

 will give absolute satisfaction.

New Hardy Climbing Rose 



Ever -Blooming Prairie Queen 



Introduced and for sale only by The Oingee & Conard Co. 



AMONG hardy Climbing Roses, that good old variety, Prairie 

 Queen, has long been considered the best of its color. In 

 this new Rose we believe we have a variety that is better. It 

 blooms profusely the first year; e^en small pot plants produce 

 numerous clusters of flowers, while a two-year-old plant will 

 bear more flowers than a five-year-old plant of the older variety. 

 Again this variety is a true perpetual bloomer, and while Prairie 

 Queen produces but one crop of flowers in a year, Ever-blooming 

 Prairie Queen blooms continuously throughout the entire season. 

 The flowers are very fragrant, and in color dark carmine rose ; 

 large, very double and borne in clusters. It is perfectly hardy, 

 having with us withstood 10° below zero unprotected and in an 

 exposed position. Difficult to propagate, but once established is 

 a good grower. 



One-year-old plants, 60 cts. each ; 2 for $1 ; two-year-old 

 plants, $1 each, by Expre ss. 



The Dingee and Conard Co. Savannah, Georgia. 



Gentlemen:— Our plants arrived in splendid condition; I cannot 

 thank you too much for your open-handed generosity, it was beyond 

 my most sanguine expectations. Any order I may have in the future 

 will be sent to you, not only to show my appreciation of your kindness, 

 hut because the plants were shipped quicker and in such a manner 

 that the Express charges were less than usual. 



Very truly yours, M. J. McGbaTH.
