see. Not very hardy. MS. $1.25 each. 
MARY LOVETT. LC. (Van Fleet, 1915.)

scented, broad petaled. Occasionally flowers

clusters of buds on the tips of the new growth.

winter protection in the North. Do not prune 
this Rose—Iet it grow. It Is worth having

DREAM GIRL Pat. 643 
The new everblooming Hardy Climber and Pillar Rose. Introduced 
by Bobbink & Atkins in 1944; Martin R. Jacobus, Hybridizer. This 
variety fills a long-felt need for a real coral-pink, full-petaled hardy 
climbing Rose. Another most appealing quality is its pleasant spicy and 
penetrating fragrance. When it is used as a cut-flower in the house, the 
perfume is even more noticeable and lasting than outdoors, and the true 
coral-pink and salmon colors become more beautiful and intense until 
the last petal unfurls. The blooms last for days after cutting. Begining 
in June when older climbers like Mary Wallace, Dr. W. Van Fleet, and 
others in this class finish blooming, Dream Girl produces successive crops 
of flowers throughout the summer, ending with a gorgeous display in 
Iate fall. 
Dream Girl is not a rampant-growing climber 
compact habit which allows for easy training on a 
arbor; also does well when trained as a “pillar’ 
support and because of its pliable and easy-to-trat 
used as a trailing Rose. It is ideal to cover fences, stone walls, and tree 
stumps. It may take a year or two to get fully established and produce 
the full-size blooms of typical color as illustrated, but practically every- 
body agrees that it is worthwhile being patient with this grand new 
Rose. $2.00 net; no discount or quantity rate.
