THE 



ONLY WHITE, 



HARDY, EVER= 



'BLOOMING, CLIMBING ROSE 1 



Mrs. Robert Peary 



[introduced and for Sale by The Din^ee & Conard Company] 



Mrs. Robert Pianj is au offspring of lhat great hardy, ever- 

 blouming Rose, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. We paid S500 for 

 the original ph.nt growing in a foiir-iiicb pot, ann considered 

 it cheap at t^at price. It was named in horn «r of Mrs. Robert 

 reary, that intrei id woman wlio braved the perils of the 

 roz^n Northern d- sert vum her husband in his attempt to 

 k reacn the is'orth Pole. We regard the nan.e *s a \sorthy 

 tribute to American women in general, in who-e honor 

 we have dedicated this gr°nd new Rose. It is a strong 

 and rapid grower, without a weak spor, grow- 

 ing to perft- ction in the open ground, and throw- 

 ^ iug up numerous shoots 10 to 15 feet high. It is 

 "as hardy as any Hybrid Perpetual or MtssKose, 

 and will withstand, unprotected, the most severe 

 'Winter*. Small plants bloom continuously throughout 

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

 its parent. The fioweis are >iixrply magnificent. 

 No illustration will do them Justice. They are the eqim's o f 

 ihe finest and most beautiful cut-flower Roes. Of splendid 

 | substance, extra lar*.e, full, deep and double, they a.e pro- 

 duced on long, sriffsbms like a forcing Rose. Ihe buds 

 are long and pointed, exquisitely modeled and 

 gracefully finished, while the fragrance is nothing 

 short of delicious. Is a quick-growii g, absolutely hardy. 

 | sure-to-blonm Rose, and one that will give you flowers th s 

 Season. This is the only pure white variety'tnat will do it. 

 It is as free blooming as* Climbing Clotilde Soupert, and is the 

 greatest introduction in Climbing Roses, not excepting 

 Crimson Rambler and Oimbing Clotilde Soupert, in the last 

 quarter of a century. Our stock is genuine.
