DiNGEE Guide To Rose Culture 



Grand New Rose "Columbia" 



(Note Illiistratiou on Front Cover) 



Not since the introduction of the glorious Rose, 

 American Beauty, have we been so impressed with 

 any Rose as we have been with "Columbia." A 

 hybrid tea of wonderful blooming qualities; as free 

 a bloomer as any tea Rose; blooms all the time. 

 Almost thornless. Wonderful strong shoots four 

 feet or more in length, each producing a magnificent 

 bloom, often measuring six inches across the open 

 flower. Color a deep peach pink, deepening into a 

 glowing pink, a perfect color. The fragrance is 

 beyond description, sweeter than an American 

 Beauty. After a thorough trial we heartily recom- 

 mend it as a great outdoor Rose. Hardy as an oak, 

 thrives in any location, strong grower and soon 



makes a great display. One of the most exquisite 

 Roses for cutting we have ever seen; produces 

 handsome buds, on long, stiff stems well above the 

 foliage. Foliage is a dark green and does not seem 

 to be affected with disease or troubled with insects; 

 on account of its strong growth, it seems to be able 

 to ward both off, thus making it one of the most 

 popular outdoor Roses. Don't fail to include one 

 at least in your order; you will never regret it. 

 Price of own root plants: First size, 35c each; 3 for 

 $1.00, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 90c each, by 

 express; by Parcel Post, $1.00 each. Large speci-

The Always Popular Cochet Roses 



See Colored PliotoftTaphic Reproduction on Opposite Page 



If you want five of the finest Roses listed in this book, which will produce hundreds of superb flowers 

 throughout the growing season, and producing the kind of flowers one never tires of, order this Cochet 

 set. No matter where you live, they will give you perfect satisfaction. The Cochet Roses are perfectly 

 hardy in every part of the country, even where the winters are most severe, with slight protection. In the 

 more temperate sections and in the South they thrive vigorously and bloom most lavishly all summer long, 

 growing into great, strong, lusty bushes which increase in beauty with the passing years. 



*PINK MAMAN COCHET— The Queen of all Pink 

 Garden Roses. The buds are large, full and firm, 

 elegantly pointed, showing depth and richness as 

 they expand. The superb flowers open perfectly 

 double, are extra large and of splendid substance. 

 Hardy in every section of the country; clear, rich 

 pink, changing to silvery-rose. 



*RED MAMAN COCHET (Helen Gould)— A Rose 

 that will grow and give satisfaction in almost any 

 soil or situation. It produces flowers in amazing 

 profusion, on long, strong shoots. The flowers are 

 very full, perfectly double; buds long and pointed. 

 Color, warm, rosy crimson; hardy everywhere. Al- 

 ways in bloom. 



*CRIMSON MAMAN COCHET (Etoile de 

 France) — A fitting companion to the other Cochet 

 Roses on account of its vigor of growth, stiffness 

 of foliage, freedom of bloom and hardiness. It 

 bears masses of full, deep-formed flowers singly, 

 on long, substantial stems. The color is a new 

 and clear shade of red or velvety crimson, bright- 

 ening in the center; of exquisite fragrance. 



*WHITE MAMAN COCHET— A most magnificent 

 snow-white Rose, with sometimes a faint tinge of 

 pale blush. It has the same freedom of bloom as 

 the Pink Cochet, the same magnificent form of 

 buds and flowers, and the same hardiness — stand- 

 ing at the very head of all Roses as the best white 

 kind for open ground culture. Vigorous as an oak 

 and hardy everywhere.

 old plants, 25c each; 5 for $1.00, postpaid; two-year-old 

 plants, 75c each; $7.50 per dozen, by express; 85c each by

*YELLOW MAMAN COCHET— One of the best 

 hardy, everblooming yellow Roses. It is ideal for 

 open ground culture — a typical Cochet Rose, with 

 gracefully molded buds, flowers magnificent when 

 open, on stiff, strong stems. This kind is identical 

 in every way with Pink and White Cochet, except 

 in the color of the flower, which is deep sulphur- 

 yellow.
