Dingee Famous Hybrid Tea Roses 



The Most Desirable of All 



For many years 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 

 collection in this country. As the new 

 varieties are introduced they are given a 

 trial, and if found wanting in any respect 

 are discarded and not offered to the Rose- 

 growing public until they prove worthy. 

 This excellent class combines the continu- 

 ous-biooming quality of the Everblooming 

 Teas and the sturdy strength of the Hybrid 

 Perpetuals. The plants bloom the first year, 

 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 protection and, of course, 

 luxuriantly in the South. In all sections 

 they form magnificent bushes, bearing all 

 summer great masses of most beautiful 

 Roses imaginable. Unless a Hybrid Tea 

 Rose bush is grown from the clioicest 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. 



Columbia 



Premier 



Never in our years of Rose growing have we been 

 so impressed with any Rose as we have with this one, 

 in size, growth, sturdiness, health, fragrance and 

 color. The blooms are immense, often measuring 5 

 and 6 inches across the open flower, buds long, full 

 and pointed. Growth remarkable, being strong and 

 sturdy, each bloom borne on heavy canes, almost 

 thornless and 4 and 5 feet long. Foliage dark glossy 

 green, free from disease or insects. Color is deep rose 

 pink, without shadings and retains its color in the 

 open flower. Highly fragrant. Price, own root plants, 

 first size, 50c. each; 3 for $1.25; two-year-old plants, 

 $1.25 each, by express. Stock limited'. 



GLADYS HOLLAND.— Magnificent in form and size. 

 Color buff, shaded orange, yellow, outside of 

 petals pearly peach, free blooming and very vigorous 

 grower. A very unique bloom. 



MRS. HENRY WINNETT.— Remarkably strong grower, 

 producing strong shoot, each one crowned with a 

 magnificent bloom, well above the foliage, excellent 

 for forcing and equally as good for outdoor growth, 

 being extremely hardy. Foliage fine dark green and 

 free from insects and disease. Color a bright shade 

 of crimson, not quite as dark as Hadley, but not as 

 light as Richmond, a color that has proven to be 

 very popular, and we consider it one of the best 

 crimson varieties. Buds long and well formed. 



MRS. HUGH DICKSON.— A Rose suitable for any 



purpose, delightfully perfumed, producing its large 



flowers in great profusion. The petals are large 



and of excellent substance, and the flowers of superb 



build, with high -pointed centers, with a beautiful 



outline. Color, a deep cream, with heavy profusion 

 of orange and apricot. Splendid grower. 



H. D. M. BARTON.— A grand bedding Rose of the 

 Gen. McArthur type. Strong grower. Hardy every- 

 where. Awarded Gold Medal by the Irish Rose 

 Society. Buds long and pointed, opening full and 

 double, of a deep rich, velvety crimson of good size.

Columbia 



Not since the introduction of the glorious Rose, 

 American Beauty, have we been so impressed with 

 any Rose as we have been with "Columbia." A 

 hybrid tea of wonderful blooming qualities; as free 

 a bloomer as any Tea Rose; blooms all the time. 

 Almost thornless. Wonderful strong shoots four feet 

 or more in length, each producing a magniflcent 

 bloom, often measuring six inches across the open 

 flower. Color a deep peach pink, deepening into a 

 glowing pink, a perfect color. The fragrance is be- 

 yond description, sweeter than an American Beauty. 

 After a thorough trial we heartily recommend it as 

 a great outdoor Rose. Hardy as an oak, thrives in 

 any location, strong grower and soon makes a great 

 display. One of the most exquisite Roses for cutting 

 we have ever seen ; produces handsome buds, on long, 

 stiff stems well above the foliage. Foliage is a dark 

 green and does not seem to be affected with disease 

 or troubled with insects ; on account of its strong 

 growth, it seems to be able to ward off, thus making it 

 one of the most popular outdoor Roses. Don't fail to 

 include one at least in your order; you will never 

 regret it. Price of own root plants: First size, 35c. 

 each; 3 for $1.00, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 90c. 

 each, by express; by Parcel Post, $1.00 each. Large 

 specimen plants from 6-i'nch pots, $1.25 each, by ex- 

 press, at purchaser's expense. 



MISS CYNTHIA FORDE.— A deep, brilliant rose pink, 

 reflex rosy pink. Large, perfectly formed, very full 

 buds, free flowering, very sweetly perfumed, splendid 

 grower. 

 NERISSA (Hybrid Tea).— Color creamy yellow, shaded 

 with white and peach tint toward center. Bud 

 handsome, long and pointed, opening full and double. 

 Rank grower. Wonderful bloomer, making an ex- 

 cellent bedding and garden rose. 

 RED LETTER DAY.— A velvety brilliant glowing 

 scarlet crimson Bud opening into cactus-like flower 

 which retains its color, owing to the reflex of the 

 petals being satiny crimson scarlet, producing a rose 

 of exquisite grace and charm. Robust grower and 

 wonderfully free blooming. Awarded S. G. medal 

 by N, R. S. Price, strong first-size plants :
