"We repeat the description given of this grand variety -when first 

 introduced by us, and -would add that, next to "Sunset," it has 

 had the largest sale of any rose ever sent out by us. "We have re- 

 ceived hundreds of letters confirming our high opinion of it. "For 

 years we have been looking for a variety ■which had all the 

 desirable qualities of a bedding rose — that is, one -which -was of 

 good color, fine form, a profuse bloomer, and -which -would stand 

 the rigor of our Northern -winters -without protection ; and -we can 

 conscientiously say that, until the ' Dinsmore ' was produced, 

 there "was none to our knowledge which combined all these quali- 

 ties. It is a vigorous, healthy rose of branching habit, and is 

 simply loaded with flowers all summer long, being even more pro- 

 fuse than most of the tender ' ever-blooming ' roses. The flowers 

 are large, perfectly double, and of a dazzling scarlet crimson 

 color, and have that rich, spicy fragrance peculiar to the best 

 hybrid roses. "We have proved the ' Dinsmore ' to be entirely 

 hardy, and can recommend it as being the finest garden rose ever 

 offered."' "Wherever summer rose buds are wanted it has no equal.

The "White Eose par excellence — large pointed buds — very free 

 flowering. Particularly valuable for winter forcing. 

 10c, 30c. and 50c. each, according to size. 

 $1.00, S3. 00 and $4.50 per dozen, according to size. 



Yellew fei R©se, 



"Perle des Jardins." 



This standard variety is shown as No. 8 in The "Garland Collec- 

 tion," on the back cover of this Catalogue. No rose of its color 

 ever cultivated for cut flowers up to the present time is now so 

 valuable as this. Tens of thousands of it, covering many acres in 

 glass, are now grown in the vicinity of New York for winter flower- 

 ing ; it is equally valuable for summer, as it flowers continuously. 

 Its color is a rich shade of yellow, large size and perfect form, tea 

 fragrance, a healthy, free grower, and unequaled in profusion of 

 bloom, either in the green-house in winter or in the open ground 



in summer.

" Mme. de Watteville." 



A grand rose for either summer or winter blooming. Color, 

 beautiful shell pink, deepening to bright rose at the edge of the 

 petals, the body of the flower being creamy white. This combina- 

 tion of colors suggests the name of " The Tulip Eose," by which 

 title it is known all over Europe. (See cut.)

The ' ■ Dinsmore " Roses received from you produced the grandest flowers I ever saw, blooming way along until frost. I never saw anvthing bloom like them 

 bushes were not over IS inches high, yet at no time were there less than five flowers on a plant.— Geo. Webeb, Pt. Allegany, Pa., January 22d, 1889.
