Roosevelt 



Introduced and controlled by 

 The Dingee & Conard Company 



This is a thoroughly distinct Rose, which 

 has already taken high place in its class. It 

 is the result of years of hard labor in hybridi- 

 zation from seedlings. President Roosevelt 

 Rose has a splendid constitution, though 

 rather dwarf in its habit of growth, and pro- 

 duces a great abundance of lovely buds and 

 flowers throughout the season. Blooms are 

 finely formed, with petals of wonderful sub- 

 stance; color, bright, lively pink, which 

 remains true to the last. The bloom of this 

 Rose is similar to a cherry blossom, and it 

 excels most of the pink kinds in its freedom 

 of blooming when planted in the open ground. 

 For sale only by us. 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 

 cts.; larger size, 25 cts. each; two-year-old 

 plants, 50 cts. each.

 hundreds of our customers, 

 and we have grov/n an extra-

 grand. The flowers are 

 large and quite full; outer 

 petals superb rosy flesh, with

 lighter tint. This wonderful

Princess of Naples

deep cup shaped, the petals overlapping 



^ each other, forming a heavy, solid flower 



of great beauty. Of exquisite fragrance and 



absolutely hardy. 25 cts. each; two-year-old 



plants, 60 cts. each. 



Do you know what meikee a good Rose? Probably 

 not; then listen: All roses on their own roots, and they 

 are the best, are grown from cuttings or branches of the 

 PARENT plant. Say the parent plant produces five 

 cuttings or young plants with TWO eyes or branches, 

 from which it makes other branches. In order to make 

 the parent plant pay a great percentage it can be cut 

 into ten ONEl-eyed cuttings — making ten young plants 

 instead of five two-eyed plants. These one-eyed plants, 

 sold at 15 cents each, will bring $1.50, while if they 

 are made from two-eyed cuttings, as we make them, 

 they will bring but $1.00 at 20 cents each — a seemingly 

 higher price; but a plant of this kind has twice the 

 vitality and twice the blooming capacity of the one-eyed 

 kind. They are the only kind to buy. Just remember 

 when comparing prices that all our plants are grown 

 from these high-grade, two-eyed plants — the best in the 

 >vorld. If you w^ant the weak, one-eyed plants, they can 

 be had, cheaper, and so they ought to be. We do not 

 grow them, much less sell them. 



Your shipment of Roses was received last Monday, but 

 a freeze kept me Irom opening them and planting until 

 Thursday. To say that I am pleased with the stock, 

 expresses my sentiments mildly, for I have never seen 

 finer prospects for Roses and rarely so strong a collection.
