"While not so hardy as the Hy- 

 brid Teas or Hybrid Perpetuals, 

 yet with protection they will live 

 through the winters in almost all 

 sections of the country, except in 

 the extreme North. In the South 

 they are unexcelled, whether 

 planted in the open ground or 

 used for pot culture. The fact 

 that one-year-old plants produce 

 a profusion of flowers makes them 

 indispensable to every Rose-lover. 



The Wonderful Rose 

 Charles Dingee 



The almost unlimited resources 

 of our great West Grove green- 

 houses have been severely taxed 

 to propogate enough plants of 

 this remarkable Rose to meet the 

 demand for it, and even now we 

 have not an over-supply. The 

 unprecedented demand for this re- 

 markable Rose was so great last 

 spring that it almost ex!;austed 

 our immense stock, and we can 

 offer only one-year and two-year 

 plants at this time. Charles Din- 

 gee Rose blooms continuously, 

 producing immense, deep, double, 

 grandly 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 grad- 

 ually shade off into pale blush 

 and creamy white. Perfectly 

 hardy in all localities, it is sure 

 to become the most popular Rose 

 of our day, because it is the 

 most beautiful, and for winter 

 culture indoor, in pots or boxes, it cannot be surpassed. It is never out of bloom. 

 Strong, special-size plants, 20 cts. each, 6 for $1.00, $2 per doz. ; two-year-old plants, 50 

 cts. each, ^5.00 per doz.
