l^lllO.FIlCy Blooming Irish Hybrid Tea Rose 



Handsome Flowers Per fectly Hardy 



' " See Color Plate Preceding Page 



This beautiful, ever-blooming Irish Hybrid Tea Rose has created a sensation 

 wherever shown, and has grown immensely popular, the great demand for it exceeding 

 the supply. Probably no Rose has ever taken such a prominent place so quickly as 

 Killamey. It well deserves such rnarked recognition; coming as it does from the north 

 of Ireland, from near the shores of those historical Lakes (for which it is named), 

 amid scenes of grandeur and unsurpassed beauty, it well upholds the reputation sur- 

 rounding the place of its birth. It originated with and was sent out by the noted 

 rosarians, Alexander Dickson & Sons, to whom belongs the credit of introducing some 

 of the world's most beautiful Roses. 



It makes a strong upright bush, with beautiful, deep, bronzy-green foliage. It is 

 wonderfully free flowering, bearing its large, long, pointed buds and massive flowers 

 on long, stiflf, heavy shoots; in color it is an exquisite shade of deep, brilliant, sparkling 

 shell pink; flowers of enormous size, with thick petals of great substance and delightful 

 tea fragrance. It is becoming the greatest pink Rose for forcing purposes in existence 

 and for outdoor cultivation it is away ahead of anything of its color and type. We 

 recommend our friends to plant freely of this variety. It blooms continuously, is 

 perfectly hardy and one of the great new Roses.

Our Great Trial Collection of Roses 



18 Superb Roses for $1.00, Postpaid 



In our vast collection of over one thousand different varieties of Roses, of which 

 we produce annually upwards of one million plants, are some really great kinds that 

 were "Born'to blush unseen and waste their sweetness on the desert air." Every Rose 

 cannot be a General Jacqueminot or an American Beauty, yet we offer varieties with 

 but a line or two of description that combine such beauty of form and coloring of 

 flower, together with freedom of bloom, hardiness and health, as to make them the 

 equals, if not the superiors, of many of the popular favorites. We want you to know 

 these Roses as we do, and we want you to know why the D. & C. Roses are famous 

 ihe world over. To make the introduction possible, let Us select eighteen of them, all 

 different kinds, no two colors alike, properly labeled, the whole' collection packed com- 

 plete and sent prepaid to any Post Office in the United States for $i.oo. We guarantee 

 satisfaction and safe arrival, and you may be assured that you will not be disappointed 

 in them. Remember that this guarantee is backed by the reputation of half a century's 

 standing. 



The D. & G. Roses Go and Grow all Over the World 



These plants are strong, well-rooted and thrifty, and are not to be confused with 

 the feeble "slips" frequently sent out in cheap collections. They will bloom the first 

 year (this year), and continuously throughout the season, and are hardy with protec- 

 tion. 



We feel in honor bound to send you something better than we promise, and 

 as a special inducement, we will include as, three of the i8 Roses, a strong plant 

 each of the magnificent new Yellow Tea Rose, Souvenir De Pierre Netting; that 

 remarkable rich, velvety. Crimson Tea Rose Souvenir De Francois Qualain, and 

 White Maman Cochet, the most superb, hardy, ever-blooming White Garden Rose 

 ever introduced. 



(See full description of these Roses elsewhere in this catalogue.) These three 

 Roses alone are worth almost the price of the entire collection. Take our advice and 

 try the collection. It is the best value ever offered for the money.
