Dingee Famous Hybrid Tea Roses 



For many years we have had by far the most complete and extensive list of Hybrid Tea Roses in the business, hav- 

 ing been the first house to call particular attention to their wonderful value. Ours is the greatest collection in this 

 country. As the new varieties are introduced they are given a trial, and if found wanting in any respect are discarded 

 and not offered to the Rose growing public until they prove worthy. This class combines the continuous-blooming 

 quality of the Everblooming Teas and the sturdy strength of the Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants bloom the first year 

 like the Teas, bearing large, finely formed flowers of a wondrous range of color, with the fragrance of the June Roses. 

 They are especially valuable to Northern planters because they stand the severest winters with ordinary protection 

 and, of course, luxuriantly in the South. In all sections they form magnificent bushes, bearing all summer through 

 great masses of the most beautiful Roses imaginable. They are, without exception, the greatest of all garden Roses. 



Unless a Hybrid Tea Rose bush is grown from the choicest two-eyed cutting — the Dingee method — it will not give 

 satisfaction. All our stock is on its own roots — don't buy the other kind, budded and grafted. This is important if 

 you wish satisfactory results. We offer strong, lusty plants in all sizes, and stake our reputation upon their quality 

 — best in the world.
