OUR GRAND 



New Hybrid Tea Rose 



CORONET 



Originated and Introduced by 



The Dingee & Conard Co. 



V 



HIS is without exception one of the most 

 magnificent Roses ever seen. It is a 

 true ever-blooming Paul Neyron, and 

 fully as large as that famous variety. It is as 

 sweet as the Rose of Damascus and as pretty 

 as a Peony. It is altogether a different type 

 of Rose from any offered in this book. It is 

 a true ever-blooming Hybrid Tea Rose, pro- 

 ducing continuously, on good stiff stems, 

 magnificent flowers of immense size, which 

 frequently measure four to six inches in diameter. The 

 form is full, deep and wonderfully double. It is full to 

 the center, and when entirely open the flowers do not 

 look uulike Peonies, a resemblance that is made the more 

 striking by the peculiar color, which is totally unlike any other 

 Rose. In the bud the color is a deep, rich carmine, which, as 

 the flower opens, lightens to a soft, pearly pink, with each petal 

 distinctly edged with silvery gray. The effect is beautiful. 

 Xo words will convey an idea of the delicious fragrance of this grand new 

 variety. It is more like the fragrance of the Damascus Rose — that variety whose 

 fragrance for centuries has been celebrated in sacred script and secular lore. 



In flower and foliage it resembles Paul Neyron, while in growth it is like 



Boa Silene, its seed parent. It is a strong healthy grower, forming a compact 



bush. In the open ground, where it is hardy, it does splendidly, producing 



its grand flowers throughout the entire season. It requires slight protection 



during winter in the open ground. For size of flower, fragrance and freedom of bloom , 



Coronet is a king among Roses. We control the stock of this variety, and the genuine 



plants can be had only from us.

PHII IPPINF ISI ANin^ " 1 have about twenty roses in fine condition, which arrived in better condition than 



iil.it r ii^L. ioL,/AniL/o one would expect. The distance figures greatly in the shipment of ro^es and only good 



strong plants could have stood the test in shipment to the Philippine Islands. Two weeks to-morrow I received the roses, and 

 planted them the same day. Now three of the roses have small branches on them three inches long. It does not seem 

 possible that roses could grow so rapidly as these, and I am greatly elated over same. The Pink and White Oochet are 

 growing rapidly, asis also Pearl Rivers, Champion of the World and all of the Climbing Roses in collection of eight 1 shall 

 gladly replv toanvone regarding the Roses and cannot sav too much in recommendation of them and your method of doing 

 business." " Very r spectfully, W. W. WESTON, P. K.j Lucena, Tayabas, Luzon, P. i.
