Francis Scott Key 



This American production, named in honor of the 

 author of our national anthem, is a credit to its name. 

 It is by far the most popular red rose, for its glowing 

 colors, its remarkable size, its fullness, its perfection of 

 form, make it a greatly prized variety. The color is a rich, 

 glowing scarlet, with darker shadings, becoming darker as 

 the flower ages. It is a continuous bloomer, producing its 

 immense blooms on stout stems in great profusion. The 

 growth is excellent and the fohage heavy, little troubled 

 with disease. Very hardy. Reports from almost all sec- 

 tions of the country show exceUent results with this 

 remarkable rose.

Dingee Famous Hybrid Tea Roses 



It has not been many years since the introduction of 

 the Hybrid Tea class of roses by GuiUot. It is a part 

 of the early history of the Rose in this country that 

 this house was the first to call attention to the valuable 

 cheu'acteristics of the class, and was greatly instru- 

 mental in making it the most popular. Today 

 the great majority of roses grown are Hybrid 

 Teas, and new varieties are being produced 

 by the hundreds. 



The Hybrid Teas, as a class, are the most 



satisfactory of roses. They produce the most beautiful 



blooms, of aU forms and colors — and continuously from 



early spring imtil heavy frost. Like the Hybrid 



Perpetuals, they are vigorous growers; hardy, 



but not exceptionaUy so Therefore they are 



weU adapted for growing in our temperate 



climates, but in zones of extreme winters need 



some protection. Their foliage is heavy and disease 



resisting, but, as with all roses, must be protected from 



the ravages of insects. 



Our coUection of Hybrid Teas is extensive and com- 

 plete. But the varieties offered in the foUowing pages 

 have been selected with an understanding of the 

 needs of the amateur grower, and are varieties that have 

 shown themselves to be well adapted for growing by the 

 great masses of flower lovers. These are kinds that are 

 easy to grow — ^the kinds we all want. If you desire a 

 variety not Usted in these pages, write us, for very prob- 

 ably we have the rose you wish in our large coUection.
