 their beauty 



is nothing short of superb, practically impossible to describe be- 

 cause of the delicate blending of colors— rose tints in the centers of 

 the flower, gradually shading off into pale blush creamy white, a 

 color efl^ect both entirely new and distinct, exquisitely beautiful.

^'Charles Dingee'' 

 The Most Wonderful Rose in the World 



To honor the name of Charles Dingee, we have pro- 

 duced a Rose better than any other variety in culti- 

 vation. W e say, without fear of contradiction, that the 

 Charles Dingee Rose is far-and-away the best garden Rose 

 for general planting in the world. 



It is always blooming, whether it is growing for us or 

 growing for you. The flowers are beautiful beyond de- 

 scription, immense in size, deep, double and grandly 

 formed. It is hardy everywhere. 



The Charles Dingee Rose is the result of cross-breeding 

 between Hermosa, that grand old hardy pink variety, 

 and White Maman Cochet, perhaps the greatest of all 

 white garden Roses — ^a superb parentage, which insures 

 its offspring every point of exceUence. The hardy, vigorous 

 constitution of a Hybrid Perpetual, growing to perfection 

 in almost any soil or situation. IMost magnificent foHage, 

 absolutely free from disease. 



We have had it grow- 

 ing and blooming in 

 all its glory in a tem- 

 perature very 

 Utile above freez- 

 ing. Growing to 

 a height of 2 to 3 

 feet, Charles Din- 

 gee blooms 

 continuously, 

 always pro- 

 ducing im- 

 mense, deep, 

 double, grand

Gentlemen: The Charles Dingee Rose that I got of you last spring is 

 now in bloom. Had a killing frost last night but have it well protected. 

 It is a fine Rose. One of the best out of sixty-five that I put out last
