DiNGEE Guide To Rose Culture 



Lady Ashtown. 



Perle Von Godesberg 



This magnificent Rose was originally sent out from Ger- 

 many as a Yellow Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, it having all 

 the beauty of form and substance of that great garden 

 Rose. The color is a rich canary-yellow with shadings of 

 saffron. The flowers are massive in size, full and double, 

 with the petals elegantly recurved. It is one of the finest 

 garden Roses, being perfectly hardy. 



MRS. ROBERT GARRETT _RHght dear pink; free 

 bloomer and strong grower, almost as large as those of 

 American Beauty. 



MRS. POTTER PALMER _np,. shining pink; much like 

 La France. The flowers are large, full and double. 



MISS KATE MOULTON _T ,-^ht pink, very beautiful; habit 

 robust, with heavy foliage, making it a grand Rose for 

 outdoor culture. 



PEGGY — Semi-double, claret-smeared, saffron-yellow, 

 shading to a pale crimson as it expands. Blooms are 

 produced in remarkable profusion. 



OLIVIA — A most gorgeous, distinct, extra-hardy Rose of 

 deep, brillant rose-pink. The flowers are of splendid sub- 

 stance, deep and full double, the buds being particularly 

 handsome in form. For bedding and cutting purposes it 

 has no superior. The bush is a strong, vigorous grower 

 and constantly in bloom. 



Price — All Roses on this page, except where noted, 20c 

 each; 5 for $1.00; larger size, 35c each; 4 for $1,00; two- 

 year-old plants, 45c each, by express. 



HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 



Lady Ashtown 



Similar to Mad. Caroline Testout, but superior in 

 growth, freedom of bloom, and color. Splendid grower, 

 soon producing a large, strong bush continually loaded 

 with blooms of exquisite color and shape. Buds long 

 and pointed, borne singly on long, stiff stems. The 

 illustration was made from photograph of the Rose as 

 grown here by us, and shows the true formation of 

 bloom. Color is a soft, solid carmine-pink of a most 

 pleasing shade. A good Rose for any purpose. Price, 

 strong, first size or one-year-old plants, 25c each; 5 

 for $1.00; larger size, 35c each; 3 for $1.00, postpaid; 

 two-year-old plants, 50c each, by express; $5.00 per 

 dozen. 



NORMA _Almnst like Mad. Caroline Testout in form 

 and sturdiness of growth; of splendid fragrance, and 

 the color is a magnificent shade of pink. 



PRECIOSA — Bud shiny crimson, with double flowers 

 of fine substance; splendid grower and free 

 bloomer; long, stiff stems; excellent in every way. 



MAX HESDORFFER _A New Rosy Pink Hybrid Tea. 



The brilliancy of color in the delightfully fresh, rosy 

 pink of this excellent new Rose is only equaled by 

 the delicious fragrance exhaled by its petals. In 

 every respect it is a Rose of which we are proud, and 

 everywhere it has been grown it has given un- 

 bounded satisfaction. As a garden Rose it has few 

 equals, forms a strong, stout bush and is always in bloom. 



For over fifty years we have made a specialty of sending 

 Roses and other plants by mail.
