"CHARLES DINGEE" 



The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the World 



(^See the Colored Photographic 



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

 duced a Rose better than any other variety in cultiva- 

 tion. We 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, with you. The flowers are beautiful beyond 

 description, 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 excellence. With 

 the hardy, vigorous constitution of a Hybrid Perpetual, 

 growing to perfection in almost any soil or situation, it

has the most magnitlcent folfage. absolutely free from 

 disease, that we have ever seen on any Rose. 



It is a tremendous grower, the best in our entire list 

 of over 800 varieties. If you have a place where other 

 Roses have failed in that spot, Charles Dingee will 

 flourish and produce its gorgeous flowers with wonder- 

 ful profusion. We have had it growing and blooming i.n 

 all its glory in a temperature very little above freez- 

 ing. Growing to a height of 2 to 3 feet. Charles 

 Dingee blooms continuously, producing immense, 

 deep, double, grandly formed tlowers on long, stiff, 

 erect stems; both in bud and bloom their beauty i>
