 Everblooming 

 Tea Roses

Tea Roses form the foundation of 

 nearly all the great Roses of today. 

 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. 



Their ease of propagation has 

 fortunately, caused them to be 

 duced by some growers 

 quantities to meet a certain demand for 

 "cheap Roses," and these so-called 

 cheap Roses have brought untold dis- 

 appointment to all who have planted 

 them, and have discredited the business 

 of every first-class Rose dealer. 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 introducer and to 

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

 difficult to make a choice, leave selection to us.

 each; 5 for $1.00, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 75c each, by express; $7.50 per dozen of

* Alexander Hill Gray 



After a thorough trial both indoors under glass and in 

 the open ground, we are pleased to offer this lovely 

 yellow Rose to our customers as one of the very best of 

 its class and color. The color, which is a deep lemon- 

 yellow, deepening as the flower expands, does not fade 

 in the open ground, as is usual with such. Buds and 

 blooms of perfect formation and of great substance, and 

 produced in the greatest abundance throughout the 

 entire season. Strong grower and hardy everywhere. 

 This Rose was awarded Gold Medal by the National 

 Rose Society. 



*IVORY — A sport of Golden Gate. Color pure white 

 without a particle of any other color. Good grower.

A revival of Champion of the World, bearing a great 

 profusion of large crimson flowers; very fragrant, 

 and produced in marvelous profusion the entire season. 

 Strong, upright grower. Extremely hardy. 



BON SILENE. A Grand Old Rose— The color is 

 deep rose, changing to pale light rose. This variety 

 cannot be surpassed for bouquets and decorative 

 purposes. In the open ground it grows to perfection, 

 producing large crops of beautiful flowers from early 

 spring until late autumn. One of the favorites of 

 the old-time gardens.
