INSPIRATION. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. See page 15. 
DREAM GIRL. Pat. 643. Pink. The com- 
paratively new Everblooming Hardy Climbing 
and Pillar Rose. The outside petals of the 
opening buds are very light apple blossom pink. 
It frequently takes several days for the full 
petalled buds to open and show the salmon- 
pink inside petals which are overlaid with a 
glorious sheen of fresh apricot. The color 
tones actually deepen until the blooms fully 
open in sunlight. One of the most appealing 
qualities of Dream Girl is the pleasing, spicy 
unforgettable fragrance; a few cut blooms will 
scent the whole room. Plants established for a 
year or more will produce a fine crop of flowers 
in early June followed by a succession of 
blooms throughout the summer ending with a 
glorious display in early fall. Please do not 
expect full-sized blooms of typical color the 
first year or season after planting (this holds 
true with practically all Climbing Roses). 
The plant is absolutely disease-resistant, 
healthy, vigorous and actually resents being 
sprayed or dusted. Use it on trellises, arbors, 
posts and pillars, for covering fences, stone 
walls, tree stumps and everywhere Climbing 
Roses of moderate growth are SO readily 
adaptable. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00.
