Our Great 



HELENGOULD= 



The Strongest Growing, Most Beautiful and Satisfactory Rose for General Planting Ever 



Introduced. Hardy Everywhere, Blooms Continuously. Bears Flowers the Equal of 



American Beauty, Introduced by The Dingee & Conard Co- <fc A * * 



Of all that bright galaxy of 

 famous Roses we have had 

 the honor of introducing, this 

 variety is perhaps the fairest. 

 Thorough trials both indoors 

 and in the open ground give 

 it the enviable reputation of 

 being the most beautiful and 

 satisfactory Rose yet intro- 

 duced. We have thousands of 

 testimonials representing ev- 

 ery State and Territory in 

 the Union, to bear us out in 

 this assertion. Never before 

 have we seen such perfect 

 flowers, not only in size, but 

 in form and color. We have 

 in this variety a Rose which 

 for general planting is far 

 and away the superior of 

 American Beauty, the dream 

 and hope of every Rose 

 grower. It is the most satis- 

 factory Rose for amateur 

 cultivation now known. 



HEL£N GOULD is a thor- 

 ough-bred Rose — a blue- 

 blooded, pedigreed variety. 

 It is the result of a cross be- 

 tween Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria and Mad. Caroline 

 Testout, a parentage that in- 

 sures hardiness, vigorous 

 growth, freedom of bloom and magnificent 

 flowers. The flowers are grandly made, full 

 and perfectly double, with long, pointed 

 buds, produced in amazing profusion on 

 H long, strong shoots. In color the flowers are 



r^- warm, rosy crimson. Young plants, one year old. have, in the 



open ground, produced as many as seventy perfect flowers, equal in 

 form, color and fragrance to American Beauty. It will please you 

 from the day you receive it. Hardy in all localities.
