The 



only White, 

 Hardy, Ever- 

 Blooming, Climbing Rose 



Mrs. Robert Peary 



Introduced and for Sale by THE DINGEK & CONARD CO. 



Mrs. Robert Peary is an offspring of that great 

 hardy, ever-blooming Rose, Kaiserin Augusta Vic- 

 toria. We paid §500 for the original plant growing 

 in a four-inch pot, and considered it cheap at that 

 price. It was named in honor of Mrs. Robert Peary. 

 that intrepid woman who braved the perils of the 

 frozen Northern desert with her husband in his at-l 

 tempt to reach the North Pole. We regard the! 

 name as a worthy tribute to American women in' 

 general, in whose honor we have dedicated thi.- 

 grand new Rose. It is a strong and rapidl 

 STOTver, Tvithout a Tveak; spot, srovringl 

 to perfection in tlie open ground, andl 

 tliro^ving- upnunieron.s shoots 10 to 15 feet] 

 high. It is as hardy as any Hybrid Per- 

 petual or Moss Rose, and v»-ill Tifcithstand, 

 unprotected, the most severe "Winters. Small! 

 plants bloom continuously throughout the season, not 

 one e or twice, but all the time, just as does its parent. ' 

 The lioTvers are simply magnificent. No illus- 

 tration will do them justice. They are the equals of] 

 the finest and most beautiful cut-flower Roses. Of 

 splendid substance, extra large, full deep and double, 

 they are produced on long stiff stems, like a forcing 

 Rn^e. The buds are long and pointed, ex- 

 uuisitely modeled and gracefully finished, 

 while the fragrance is nothing short of de- 

 licious. Is a quick-growing, absolutely hardy, sure- 

 to-bloom Rose, and one that will give you flowers this 

 season. This is the only pure white variety that will 

 do it. It is as free-blooming as Climbing Clotilde Sou- 

 Ipert, and is the greatest introduction in Climbing 

 Roses, not excepting Crimson Rambler and Climbing 

 Clotilde Soupert, in the last quarter of a century.
