HYBRID TEA ROSES — Continued. 



The Lovely Killarney Roses 



The Rose for Every Home. (See Illustration on Opposite Page.) 



*PINK KILLARNEY (The Famous Irish Rose)— This 

 queen of the Irish Roses excels any other of its class 

 and color yet introduced, and by many is recognized 

 as the most beautiful, hardy, everblooming Hybrid Tea 

 Rose now under cultivation. Each season since it was 

 introduced Killarney has increased in popularity, and 

 the demand has always exceeded the supply. The bush 

 is strong and upright, with beautiful, deep bronzy green 

 foliage, and the Rose is entirely free-blooming, bearing 

 immense, long pointed buds and massive flowers on big, 

 heavy shoots. The color is deep, brilliant and sparkling 

 shell-pink, of the most exquisite shade. The flowers 

 are of delightful fragrance, immense size, and have thick 

 petals of great substance. Killarney is unusually hardy 

 and without protection has withstood severe winters as 

 far north as Boston. Strong plants, 30c each; 4 for $1, 

 postpaid. Extra strong two-year-old plants, on own 

 roots, 85c each. 95c each by parcel post, with soil on roots. 



'WHITE KILLARNEY— An offspring of the Pink Kil- 

 larney and is one of the most exquisite white Roses

 and texture. Strong plants, 30c each; 4 for $1, postpaid; 

 two-year-old plants, 85c each. 95c each by parcel post, 

 with soil on roots. 



YELLOW KILLARNEY (Mme. Jenny GiUemot)— A 

 brilliant saffron-yellow Rose, opening canary with dark 

 golden shades. The buds are long and pointed, beauti- 

 ful in form and color, the flowers are large, with immense 

 petals. Hardy and vigorous, it is in constant bloom all 

 summer. Blooms produced on long, stiff stems, making 

 an excellent Rose for cutting. Owing to its resemblance 

 to the Killarneys, we have called it the Yellow Killarney, 

 as it makes a good companion for them. 30c each; 4 

 for $1, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 85c each, by ex-
