Dingee Hardy Everblooming Tea Roses 



Tea Roses form the foundation of nearly all the great Roses of to-day. Without them, the lovely Hybrid 

 Tea class would be impossible. They are among the oldest and most highly cherished of all Roses. They have 

 made the Rose-gardens of America what they are. Their place and value is everlasting. Rugged, healthy and 

 hardy in growth, free blooming (they bloom all the time), their flowers are chaste and beautiful. You cannot 

 well do without them. They thrive gloriously in all sections of the country. 



Their ease of propagation has, unfortunately, caused them to be produced by some growers in enormous 

 quantities to meet a certain demand for "cheap Roses," and these so-called cheap Roses have brought untold 

 disappointment to all who have planted them, and have discredited the business of every tlrst-class Rose-dealer. 

 Don't be misled into buying these cheap, "one-eyed," "thumb-pot" Rose-plants made to sell at popular prices. 

 Plant good Roses, grown by a firm with a reputation to sustain. Pay a fair price for high-class goods, with a 

 guarantee back of them — the Dingee kind — and you will soon become a Rose enthusiast. 



Ours is the greatest collection of own-root Roses in the world. This collection of hardy, everblooming Tea 

 Roses is the very life of our immense list. To the beginner — the novice in Rose culture — the great number of 

 varieties may be confusing, but to eliminate a single one, however, would do a distinct injustice to the intro- 

 ducer and to our collection, for each variety has its own particular charm and merit. If you find it difficult to 

 make a choice, leave the selection to us. 



Prices of all Hardy, Everblooming Tea Roses, except where noted, 15c. each; 4 for 50c.; larger size, 

 20c. each, 3 for 50c., postpaid; two-year-old plants, 35c. each, by express. 



The Bride 



There is no other white Rose more satisfactory than 

 The Bride. When planted in the open ground, the 

 flowers are sometimes found to be delicately tinted 

 with pink, making it exceedingly attractive. The buds 

 and tlowers are unusually large, well formed and deli- 

 ciously perfumed. It is of a strong and healthy 

 growth, and a profuse bloomer. 



Bridesmaid 



This variety is valuable for cutting and does finely 

 in the open ground; a sport from the old and popular 

 pink Tea. Catherine .Mermet, but of a tine, clear dark 

 pink, much deeper and more constant \n color than 

 Mermet. The bush is a strong, sturdy grower, bearing 

 all summer a profusion of dainty beautiful flowers on 

 strong stems.
