The Always Popular Cochet Roses 



If you want five of the finest Roses listed in this book, which will produce hundreds of superb flowers throughout 

 the growing season, and producing the kind of flowers one never tires of, order this Cochet set. No matter where you 

 live, they will give you perfect satisfaction. The Cochet Roses are perfectly hardy in every part of the country, even 

 where the winters are most severe, with slight protection. In the more temperate sections and in the South they thrive 

 vigorously and bloom most lavishly all summer long, growing into great, strong, lusty bushes which increase in beauty 

 with the passing years. 



Pink Maman Cochet 



The Queen of all Pink Garden Roses. 

 The buds are large, full and firm, ele- 

 gantly pointed, showing depth and rich- 

 ness as they expand. The superb flow- 

 ers open perfectly double, are extra 

 large and of splendid substance. Hardy 

 in every section of the country; clear, 

 rich pink, changing to silvery rose.

San Diego, Calif., January 2, 1915. 

 Gentlemen: I received the Rose bushes in the best con- 

 dition and am very well pleased with them. Thanks very 

 much. They are the best plants I ever bought for the price. 

 I planted them right away, and they look as if they were 

 growing right along. MRS. J. MUELLER. 



White Maman Cochet 



A most magnificent snow-white Rose, 

 with sometimes a faint tinge of pale 

 blush. It has the same freedom of 

 bloom as the Pink Cochet, the same 

 magnificent form of buds and flowers, 

 and the same hardiness — standing at 

 the very head of all the Roses as the 

 best white kind for open-ground cul- 

 ture. Vigorous as an oak and 

 hardy everywhere.

 open - ground

 is deep sulphur-yellow.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 20, 1915. 

 Dear Sirs : In the spring I gave you an order consisting of Roses, 

 Cosmos, Dahlias and other flowers. When I received the Roses I 

 thought will those tiny plants ever grow, and I seemed somewhat disap- 

 pointed with them, but if you would see them now you would certainly be 

 surprised, thinking that they were not the same plants. They have all been 

 in bloom, and such strong hardy plants. Some of the Roses which are 

 raised in the greenhouses are not half as pretty as the Dingee & Conard 

 Roses. The colors of the Roses are charming. My Cosmos are over 6 feet tall. 

 Everyone who has seen them say, "What tall plants ; where did you get 

 them from ? Mine are not near so high." I want to thank you again 



for the lovely collection of Roses. 



Yours sincerely, MRS. ELIZABETH ROESENER.
