Dingee Famous Hybrid Tea Roses 



ip— ||0R many years we have had by far the most complete and extensive list of Hybrid Tea Roses in the 

 |l y business, having been the first house to call particular attention to their wonderful value. Ours is the 

 |^l| greatest collection in this country. As the new varieties are introduced they are given a trial, and if 

 * I found wanting in any respect are discarded and not offered to the Rose growing public until they 



prove worthy. This class combines the continuous-blooming quality of the Everblooming Teas and the sturdy 

 strength of the Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants bloom the first year like the Teas, bearing large, finely formed 

 flowers of a wondrous range of color, with the fragrance of the June Roses. They are especially valuable 

 to northern planters because they stand the severest winters with ordinary protection and, of course, 

 luxuriantly in the south. In all sections they form magnificent bushes, bearing all summer through great 

 masses of the most beautiful Roses imaginable. They are, without exception, the greatest of all garden Roses. 

 Unless a Hybrid Tea Rose bush is grown from the choicest two-eyed cutting — the Dingee method — it 

 will not give satisfaction. All our stock is on its own roots — don't buy the other kind, budded and grafted. 

 This is important if you wish satisfactory results. We offer strong, lusty plants in all sizes, and stake our 

 reputation upon their quality — best in the world.
