Dingee Ever-Blooming Tea Roses 



The Best for "Winter Blooming 



TMiile not so hardy as the Hybrid Teas or 

 Hybrid Perpetuals, yet with protection they 

 will live through the winters in almost all 

 sections of the country, except in the ex- 

 treme North. In the South they are unex- 

 celled, whether planted in the open ground 

 or used for pot culture. The fact that one- 

 year-old plants produce a profusion of flow- 

 ers makes them indispensable to every 

 Rose-lover. For Fall planting out door se- 

 cure them early. 



The Wonderful Rose 

 Charles Dingee 



Note photographs in natural colors on 

 outside back cover. 



The almost unlimited resources of our 

 great West Grove greenhouses have been 

 severely taxed to propagate enough plants 

 of this remarkable Rose to meet the de- 

 mands for it, and even now we have not an 

 oversupply. The unprecedented demand for 

 this remarkable Rose was so great last 

 spring that it almost exhausted our im- 

 mense stock, and we can offer only one- 

 year and two-year plants at this time. 

 Charles Dingee Rose blooms continuously, 

 producing immense, deep, double, grandiv 

 formed flowers on long, stiff stems, the 

 beauty of which is nothing short of 

 superb. The color is a delicate blending 

 of rose tints in the center, which gradually 

 shade off into pale blush and creamy white. 

 For winter culture indoors, in pots and 

 boxes, it cannot be surpassed. It is never 

 out of bloom. Strong, special-size plants, 25 cts. each, 

 five for $1.00, $2.50 per doz.; two-year-old plants, 75 

 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.; 80 cts. each by parcel post, 

 with soil on roots. 



The Bride 



There is no other white Rose more satisfactorv than 

 The Bride. AMien planted in the open ground, the 

 flowers are sometimes found to be delicately tinted 

 with pink, making it exceedingly attractive. The 

 buds and flowers are unusually large, well formed and 

 deliciously perfumed. 



Bridesmaid. This variety is valuable for cutting and 

 does finely in the open ground; a sport from the 

 old and popular pink Tea, Catherine Mermet, but 

 of a fine, clear, dark pink, much deeper and more 



constant in color, 

 than Mermet. The 

 bush is a strong, 

 sturdy grower, 

 bearing all summer 

 a profusion of 

 dainty, beautiful 

 flowers. 

 Marie Van Houtte. 

 — It is a strong 

 and sturdy grow- 

 er, blooming con- 

 s t a n 1 1 y , with 

 great freedom. 

 The color of the 

 flowers, which 

 are large, full and 

 double, is pale 

 canary - yellow, 

 passing to rich, 

 creamy white 

 shaded with pale 

 rose.

 recommend it as
