U^{ew '[Roses 



OF RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 



The Roses listed on this and the follow- 

 ing pages comprise the best, latest and 

 most beautiful productions of the famous 

 Rosarians, and all lands have contributed 

 to this collection. ^Ye have spared no ex- 

 pense or effort in securing them. We offer 

 them only after a careful watching of the 

 habits and adaptability for outdoor cul- 

 ture suitable for our cH- 

 mate. The first si2e plants 

 are strong and sturdy, 

 while the two-year-old 

 plants are magnificent, 

 strong bushes which will 

 take hold immediately 

 when planted, grow vigor- 

 ously and bloom profuse- 

 ly. These are the largest 

 and finest Roses ever sold, 

 and are in keeping with 

 the high quality which has 

 made Dingee Roses fam- 

 ous the world over. These are the best 

 of the latest introductions, and have all 

 proven to be just what they are repre- 

 sented. We therefore suggest placing 

 your order early. 



Two New Sensational ''Dingee*' Roses 



Originated, introduced and for sale only by The Dingee & 

 Conard Co., West Grove, Pennsylvania. See colored illus- 

 tration, front and back cover pages. 



The advent of a new rose of genuine merit is one of the rarest 

 occurrences we know of. We might ask ourselves — "Where are the 

 new roses of yesterday?" Very few indeed that were introduced 

 with loud acclaim, even a few years ago, are even heard of now. 

 The truth is, we have had too many inferior introductions — largely 

 from Europe, placed in commerce during past years. It may be 

 these European introductions are all they say they are in Europe 

 but many are totally worthless under the varying climatic conditions 

 of America. All sorts of unusual t>'pes have come to us from the 

 other side of the ocean and the difficulty today is to propagate 

 them, even in limited quantities. Here in America some wonderful 

 roses have been introduced and will always be in demand: Pink 

 Radiance, the original, its offspring Red Radiance, Columbia, 

 Charles Dingee, David O. Dodd, John Cook, Francis Scott Key, 

 Templar, Clirnbing American Beauty and many others, all Ameri- 

 can introductions. They are permanent because they are good. 

 ^\ e, personally, are not accepting foreign introductions as superior 

 to our own because they come from abroad. 



We are introducing two magnificent, hardy, everblooming bush 

 roses now for the first time, "Garden Gem" and "Crimson 

 Beauty." These roses originated in our own establishment several 

 years ago. They have been under our supervision ever since. They 

 have been selected from more than a hundred seedlings as being 

 better than anything now in cultivation — either here or in Europe. 

 A trial in your garden, under ordinary conditions will give ample 

 proof of this rather broad statement. 



These two new roses, born in America, spring from the best 

 American rose blood, therefore are suited to all parts of the country. 

 Their parentage guarantee what they will do. 



Garden Gem 



This great new bush rose has one characteristic that stamps it 

 as a remarkable rose and that is it has no disease of any kind. 

 Absolutely free from Black Spot and kindred diseases that are so 

 annojang and which are found so abundantly in nearly all the roses 

 of recent origin. It has wonderfully clean, hea\'y foliage. 



Its parentage is the finest of any rose in cultivation — a hybridiza- 

 tion of "Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury" — a great American rose and 



Etoile de Holland (See 



pagt 



"America," another great American (Hill) production. There i- 

 a royal parentage for you and this is a royal rose, fit to wear the 

 diadem that belongs to the Queen of Beauty. 



It is a marvelously strong, healthy grower under the most adverse 

 conditions, thriving even in extreme heat — ^just a grand grower. As 

 already stated there is no rose we know of to compare with it in the 

 absolute healthy growth that characterizes it at all times. Of 

 course it is but natural that it should be a magnificent bloomer, 

 continuously bearing its beautiful, satiny pink flowers of lovely 

 form on strong erect stems, making it one of the greatest of all 

 roses, new or old, for garden cultivation and for cutting. 



Crimson Beauty 



At first we were at a loss to find a name that would be descriptive 

 of tliis magnificent, new, crimson beauty but the proper name soon 

 suggested itself, because this new, hardy, everblooming, garden 

 bush rose is the result of this parentage — the great (American) 

 "Hoosier Beauty" crossed with "Crimson Champion" and 

 there you have the name — "Crimson Beauty." 



If we ever establish a "Who's Who" in roseland, this great new 

 variety will be a charter member of that select company because of 

 its parentage. "Hoosier Beauty." from which it gets much of its 

 own beauty, has long been one of the most beauiiful of all deep 

 crimson bush roses. "Crimson Champion," much stronger in' 

 growth, has given it splendid health and vigorous habit of growth..: 

 The best recommendation we are prepared to make is, this newi 

 rose is a better garden rose, we think, than ''Gruss an Teplitz" (Vir-;.; 

 ginia R. Coxe), wtiich has been frequently selected as one of th^ 

 best twelve roses in the world. 



This splendid new variety has health in abundance, grows clean 

 strong and sturdy, has no weaknesses and blooms in marvelous pro 

 fusion, bearing its magnificent, crimson flowers, which have mucl 

 of the form of "Gruss an Teplitz," throughout the growing season 

 so that the bush is literaUy covered early and late with its gorgeou: 

 crimson flowers. Roses of this type are in the greatest demanc 

 because of their health, beauty and permanency.

 postpaid ; 2-year-old plants $2.00 each, 6 for $10.00, by parcel pos
