Autumn Edition, DINGEE GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE 



Mary, Countess of Ilchester 



A strong, vigorous Hybrid Tea. Color warm crimson- 

 carmine, a color almost indescribable. Flowers pro- 

 duced on long, upright stems, of immense size, with 

 large, smooth, circular petals. The foliage is attract- 

 ive and handsome, a deep green. Very highly scented. 

 Prince of Bulgaria. This magnificent Rose has been 

 well recommended by hundreds of our customers, and 

 we have grown an extra-large stock in order that we 

 might give it the wider distribution which its merits 

 cause it to deserve. Not the least of its charms is the 

 large, bright green foliage, and the buds are simply 

 :grand. The flowers are large and quite full ; outer 

 petals superb rosy flesh, with the index petals of a 

 slightly lighter tint. 

 TVlrs. Potter Palmer. Clear, shining pink ; much like La 



France. The flowers are large, full and double. 

 President Roosevelt. Blooms - are finely formed, with 

 petals of wonderful substance ; color, bright, lively 

 pink, which remains true to the last. The bloom of 

 this Rose is similar to a cherry blossom, and it excels 

 most of the pink kinds in its freedom of blooming 

 when planted in the open ground. 

 William H. Taft. This fine Hybrid Tea Bush originated 

 in the vicinity of Cincinnati. Salmon-pink, with fine 

 fragrance. Bush is strong and vigorous in srrowth 

 and very profuse in bloom. 

 Richmond. The most gorgeous Rose we have ever seen 

 — no other variety can compare with it. In form and 

 . fragrance of flower is simply superb. Wonderfully 

 free blooming, its immense, fragrant, scarlet-crimson 

 flowers are borne on long, stiff stems, making it a 

 rival of American Beauty, and even more dazzling in 

 appearance. In the garden its flowers are as fine as 

 those found in the greenhouse. Perfectly hardy. 



Etoile de France 



One of the best and sweetest hardy Hybrid Tea 

 Roses of its color. The strong, upright bushes 

 have beautiful bronze green foliage which is not 

 subject to insect attacks. The bushes are blooming 

 constantly, producing large, massive, deep, full 

 cup-formed flowers on magnificent, long, stiff 

 stems. They are of truly glorious form and de- 

 lightful fragrance, while the color is exquisite — • 

 a clear red or velvety crimson. 



Mad. Abel Chatenay. Best of its color — rosy car- 

 mine, with darker shade. It does remarkably 

 well in the open ground, has wonderfully beauti- 

 ful flowers, which are full, deep and double. We 

 have a large stock of superior quality, and ur- 

 gently recommend all our customers to include 

 Mad. Chatenay in their Rose orders for this 

 Spring. 

 Virginia R. Goxe. For intense and dazzling color 

 there is no other Rose to compare with this 

 splendid kind. The flowers are large and hand- 

 some, moderately double, of splendid substance, and 

 are produced in amazing profusion during the whole 

 of the growing season ; in fact, it is always in bloom. 

 The color is fiery crimson, shaded with a dark velvety 

 sheen, a combination found in no other Rose. 

 Triumph de Pernet Pere. A French Rose, originated 

 by Jean Pernet, of France. Flowers large, with 

 broad, thick petals and long, pointed buds. Delicious 

 Tea fragrance. Clear magenta-red, passing to bright 

 crimson. 

 Wellesley. A most magnificent garden Rose of a beau- 

 tiful shade of pink, vigorous, healthy grower ; re- 

 markably free-flowering, with fine keeping qualities ; 

 most valuable rose for garden, as it is particularly 

 adapted for outdoor culture. Blooms produced on 

 long, stiff stems. 

 Radiance. A glorious new extra hardy Hybrid Tea Rose 

 which originated within a few miles of West Grove. 

 The flowers are a beautiful blending of shades of 

 carmine-rose, with opal and coppery reflections. It is 

 of splendid, sturdy growth, constantly in bloom, and 

 is bound to become one of the leading garden Roses. 

 We cannot say too much in its praise. Awarded a 

 Silver Medal by the American Rose Society at Hart- 

 ford, Conn., Trial Gardens as the best bedding Rose. 

 My Maryland. Handsome in bud and flower. Its bril- 

 liant, lively shade of pink and beauty of form is 

 without a superior, and all summer through large, 

 perfectly double, magnificent flowers, rich in fra- 

 grance, are borne on long, stiff stems, growing from 

 a sturdy, fine-shaped bush, which in itself is a dis- 

 tinct ornament to the garden. A great outdoor Rose. 

 Extremely hardy. 

 Pius X. Glorious Pink Rose. A delicious creamy white 

 Hybrid Tea, passing to tender rose, which deepens to 

 a warm, fresh pink on the center petals. The flowers 

 t are of handsome cup shape and borne on long stems. 

 The bush is a strong, thrifty grower and in every 

 respect it is an ideal garden Rose — one which is 

 bound to become popular. 



Jonkheer J. L. Mock. A Hybrid Tea called the Giant 

 Pink from Holland. Of distinctive merit, being an 

 extremely strong grower, one of the strongest of the 

 Hybrid Tea class, blooming as it does with the great- 

 est freedom, the buds carried on long, stiff, erect 

 stems, of the very largest size imaginable to obtain 

 in a Rose bloom and still retain its perfect forma- 

 tion. Very fragrant. Color, clear imperial pink on 

 the order of the La France. This Rose has produced 

 a sensation wherever grown. We offer strong plants, 

 on their own roots. 



Col. R. S. Williamson. Large, fragrant flowers of an 

 exquisite shade of soft, rich carmine ; blooms large 

 and well formed, with high pointed center, on long, 

 stiff stems. Petals crinkled, on the order of a Zinnia. 

 Tall grower. Hardy in all localities, and strong, ro- 

 bust grower, soon producing a handsome bush. 

 Blooms all summer. 



Mevrouw Dora Van Teta. Hybrid Tea. A new Rose of 

 great merit. Color deep glowing crimson, with vel- 

 vety shading. A vigorous grower and bloomer. 

 Awarded a gold medal by the Holland Rose Society.
