Bloom of Climbing: Killamey. 



^ Mrs. Robert Peary 



THE GREAT WHITE, HARDY, EVERBLOOMING 



CLIMBING ROSE. 



Introduced by The Dingee & Conard Co. 



A strong and rapid grower, coming to perfection in 

 the open ground. It is as hardy as any hybrid per- 

 petual or Moss Rose and will withstand the most severe 

 winters unprotected. Small plants of Mrs. Robert Peary 

 will bloom continuously throughout the season and the 

 flowers are magnificent beyond description. The buds 

 are long and pointed, finely modeled and gracefully 

 finished, while the fragrance is indeed delicious. The 

 flowers, when open, are of splendid substance, extra 

 large, deep and double, produced on long, stiff stems, 

 like those of a forcing Rose. Strong, one-year-old 

 plants, 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts. ; larger size, 25 cts. 

 each, 5 for $1. Strong, two-year-old plants, 45 cts. 

 each, by express. Express charges paid on orders 

 amounting to $5.00 or more. 



LILY ITO. A pretty, dainty foliaged climber of rapid 

 growth, which bears a great profusion of small Poly- 

 antha flowers of pearly blush. A Japanese importa- 

 tion. 25 cts. each, $1 for 5; two-year-old plants, 50 

 cts. each. 



Climbing Mad. Jules Grolez 



A climbing form of one of the finest of the new Hy- 

 brid Tea Roses — Mad. Jules Grolez, a Rose described 

 as a red Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. The bush is re- 

 markably thrifty. Strong, first size plants, 20 cts. each; 

 two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



Hardy Climbing 



* Hybrid Tea Roses 



The Roses on this and the next page are noted for 

 the exquisite beauty of their flowers, rivalling, as they 

 do, those of the Hybrid Tea Class. They are all won- 

 derfully strong and growing, hardy and vigorous, and 

 in constant bloom all summer. In the middle sections 

 of the country and in the Northwest they thrive and 

 bloom most luxuriantly, while in the warmer sections 

 they fairly run riot in their glory of growth and bloom. 

 Even in the coldest northern states they grow to per- 

 fection, but will require protection in winter. 



Climbing Killarney 



Three years ago we offered for the first time a climb- 

 ing type of the famous pink Rose, Killarney, the most 

 celebated Hybrid Tea of its color yet introduced. Re- 

 peated trials both in our grounds and by our friends 

 who purchased this marvelous Rose, and who have 

 written very enthusiastic letters about it, confirm the 

 statements we made in regard to it. The beautiful 

 flowers of this wonderful Rose are identical with the 

 parent variety, but the bush is of the climbino' habit of 

 growth, placing it at once in a class by itself, because 

 there is no other climbing variety of its color. It is 

 a strong, rapid grower, growing to perfection in the 

 open giound, throwing up shoots 10 to 15 feet high in 

 a single season, and is entirely hardy. It blooms con- 

 tinuously throughout the season, and the flowers are 

 magnificent beyond description, immense, long, pointed 

 buds with massive petals, opening into flowers of enor- 

 mous size; color deep pink, bright and sparkling, an 

 exquisite shade, deliciously fragrant; in fact, one of the 

 greatest new Roses we ever offered. Our illustration 

 on the opposite page gives a slight idea of its marve- 

 lous beauty. Our stock is limited, and orders will be 

 filled in strict rotation. Early orders are therefore ad- 

 visable, even if you do not wish to plant at once. We 

 will carefully set aside the plants, delivering them at 

 any time desired.
