^•Charles Dingee" 



The IMost \S onderfiil Rose in the \^'orld 



To honor the name of Charles Dingee, we have produced a Rose better than 

 any other varietj' in cultivation. We say, without fear of contradiction, that 

 the Charles Dingee Rose is far-and-away the best garden Rose for general plant- 

 ing in the world. 



It is always blooming, whether it is growing for us or growing for you. The 

 flowers are beautiful beyond description, immense in size, deep, double and 

 grandly formed. It is hardy everywhere. 



The Charles Dincree Rose is the result of cross-breeding between Her- ■ 

 mosa, that grand old hardy pink variety, and White Maman Cochet. 

 perhaps the greatest of all white garden Roses — a superb parentage, which 

 insures its offspring even." point of excellence. The hardy, vigorous constitu- 

 tion of a Hybrid Perpetual, growing to perfection in almost any soil or situation. 

 Most magnificent fohage, absolutely free from disease. 



We have had it growing and blooming in all its glor\- in a temperature ver\- 

 little above freezing. Growing to a height of 2 to 3 feet. Charles Dingee blooms 

 continuously, producing immense, deep, double, grandly formed flowers on long, 

 stiff, erect stems; both in bud and bloom their beauty is nothing short of superb, 

 practically impossible to describe because of the deHcate blending of colors — 

 rose tiuts in the centers of the flower, gradually shading off into pale blush 

 creamy white, a color effect both entirely new and distinct, exquisitely beautiful. 



Caution ^'^ ^^^ ^^^ originators and sole owners of the Charles Dingee Rose. 



Imitations and so-called duphcates of it are intended to deceive. 



If a grower states that he can furnish another rose which is the same, but under 



another name, don't accept such, but 

 secure the true Charles Dingee.

Mrs. F. R. Pierson 



Illustrated in Natural 

 Colors on Front Cover 

 Winner of the Cool- 

 idge Gold Medal offered 



by President Calvin Coolidge at the Flower Show, Grand Central 

 Palace, New York Citv', March 16, 1926; also five other Gold 

 Medals and Certificates of Merit. We beheve that this Rose has car- 

 ried off more honors than any other new Rose ever introduced. As a 

 commercial or garden red Rose. Mrs. F. R. Pierson has never been 

 equalled. It can be grown to larger size than American Beauty, even at 

 its best. It has an equally large flower, better color, with fine, 

 heaA~\% dark fohage. strong stems, and very fragrant. It is a color 

 hard to describe, cardinal-red. or as described by New York ex- 

 perts, "a crimson Rose flooded with sunshine." The buds are 

 long and pointed, of ideal shape and form. 



Briar cliff 



This is a beautifully formed, hght pink Rose, a sport of 

 Columbia. The bud is beautifully formed, long and pointed, 

 ever\- flower opening perfectly. It is a great improvement on 

 Columbia, retaining aU the good quahties of its parent, 

 with none of its faults. The color is more brflhant than 

 Columbia, being a pure pink. Those who have trouble in 

 growing Columbia on account of the bullheads, which come 

 frequently will find that they will have no such trouble with i 

 BriarclifE, as it opens perfectly in all kinds of weather. |

 50 cts. each, postpaid; 3 for $1.25. Two-year-old plants, $1.50 each, by
