Dingee Famous Hybrid Tea Roses 



Kootenay 



The Most 

 Desirable of All 



For many "ears we 

 have had by far the most 

 complete and extensive 

 list of Hybrid Tea Roses 

 in the business, having 

 been the first house to call 

 particular attention to 

 their wonderful value. 

 Ours is the greatest col- 

 lection in this country. 

 As the new varieties are 

 introduced they are given 

 a trial, and if found want- 

 ing in any respect are dis- 

 carded and not offered to 

 the Rose-growing public 

 until they prove worthy. 

 This excellent class combines the contin- 

 uous-blooming quality of the Everbloom- 

 ing Teas and the sturdy strength of the 

 Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants bloom 

 the first y r ear, like the Teas, bearing large, 

 finely formed flowers of a wondrous 

 range of color, with the fragrance of the 

 June Roses. They are especially valuable 

 to Northern planters because they stand 

 the severest winters with ordinary pro- 

 tection and, of course, luxuriantly in the 

 South. In all sections they form magnif- 

 icent bushes, bearing all summer great 

 masses of most beautiful Roses imagin- 

 able. Unless a Hybrid Tea Rose bush is 

 grown from the choicest two-eyed cutting 

 — the Dingee method — it will not give 

 satisfaction. All our stock is on its own 

 roots — don't buy the other kind, budded 

 and grafted. We offer strong, lusty 

 plants in all sizes and stake our reputation 

 upon their quality. 



For Winter Blooming Indoors 



Kootenay 



They are the verv finest. Producing magnificent blooms on long stiff stems and almost as freely as the 

 Teas. The one-year plants are excellent for this, as they are well rooted and ready to go right ahead and 

 bloom. Mav be kept indoors during the winter and then planted out in the yard or garden in the spring. 

 Put them into a 4-inch pot, well drained. Give aU sunshine possible and liquid fertilizer frequently. Keep 

 free from insects and they will bloom frequently. 



Silver Columbia 



A Sport of Columbia. Magnificent buds and 

 blooms produced on great stout stems. One of the 

 greatest bloomers we have ever seen, being one 

 mass of gorgeous blooms the entire growing season. 

 It is a strong healthy grower, free from insects and 

 disease, thus making it a rose that will become the 

 most popular in America because anyone can suc- 

 ceed with it. Needs no petting or coaxing. It just 

 grows anywhere. Foliage dark green. Does well 

 indoors as well as in the open ground. Hardy every- 

 where. Excellent for cutting. In its color also lies 

 one of the chief charms, being a beautiful clear 

 shade of deep silver pink deepening towards the 

 center. Fragrant as an American Beauty. Awarded 

 Silver Medal by the American Rose Society. Price, 

 50 cts. each fop first size plant, postpaid; $1.50 

 for 2-year-old plants, by express collect, or

Hybrid Tea. Beautiful soft rose. Flowers large,

Frank W. Dunlop. The color is a most pleasing 

 shade of soft pink, deepening towards the center. 

 Bud perfect in form and substance, being long 

 and pointed, opening full and double. Produced 

 in marvelous profusion on long stiff stems. 

 Strong healthy grower, being absolutely free 

 from disease of any kind. Hardy everywhere. 

 A wonderful outdoor rose. 



American Legion. An American production, 

 having been produced by Edward Towill, Roslyn, 

 Pa. The blooms of this rose the past season 

 brought almost as much as the famous rose 

 American Beauty and as it becomes better known 



. we predict it will be as popular, as the color is 

 such a pleasing shade of'Cerise which it retains 

 until all petals fall. Buds produced on long stiff 

 stems well above the foliage and of immense size, 

 long and pointed, opening full and double, a great 

 producer. Foliage dark green, free from diseases 

 such as Black Spot, Mildew, etc. Awarded First 

 Prize for a new rose in 1920.
