HYBRID TEA ROSES — Continued^ 



^ Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 



The greatest hardy, white Hybrid Tea Rose in ex- 

 istence. A strong, sturdy grower; free-flowering; it 

 has become the most popular of all white Roses for 

 general planting Continuously from early spring 

 until late fall, with pointed buds, the large, double 

 flowers are glorious in their perfection; borne on 

 long, stiff stems; delicate pure white, deliciously fra^ 

 grant. Unexcelled for cutting; absolutely hardy. Al- 

 though grown extensively under glass, it is essentially 

 a garden Rose. There is nothing finer than this glor*- 

 ious Rose. 



LA TOSCA — A beautiful shade of light pink; in many 

 cases having the appearance almost of a pure white 

 Rose. 



LIBEIRTY— Magnificently formed flowers, full, deep 

 and double, fragrant and pleasing. Deep crimson- 

 scarlet. 



LADY URSULA— Hybrid Tea. Flesh -pink, strongly^ 

 Tea-scented; a grand grower, producing large, full, 

 rounded blooms in wonderful profusion. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. 



Laurent Carle 



A beautiful Rose, with extra large, hand- 

 somely formed, rich velvety carmine buds and 

 flowers. It is a phenomenally strong and ro- 

 bust grower, hardy in every locality and con- 

 tinually in bloom. Every lover of Roses should 

 have this variety. 25c each; larger size, 35c 

 each; two-year-old plants, 60c each. 

 LADY ASHTOWN-;-Similar to Mad. Caroline 

 Testout, but superior in growth, freedom of 

 bloom and color. Splendid grower, soon pro- 

 ducing a large, strong bush, continually loaded .with blooms of 

 exquisite color and shape. Buds long and pointed, borne singly 

 on long, stiff stems. Color is a soft, solid carmine-pink of a most 

 pleasing shade. 

 LADY BATTERSEA (Red Niphetos)— A beautiful color of wine- 

 red. We believe this to be one of the most praise-worthy of the 

 newer Roses, and none of our customers will be disappointed in it. 

 LA DETROIT — A most handsome and dainty Rose, with a fragrance 

 like Bon Silene, and color of shell-pink, shading to a soft rose; 

 outer petals of creamy color. Strong, hardy and everblooming. 



Sc. Louis, Missouri, March 28, 1917. 

 Gentlemen: — Your Roses are surely true to name. I would not be without the 

 Charles Dingee Rose at any price; I cannot understand how you can furnish such 

 Roses at the low price you ask for them and the way you pack them to send by 

 mail is a credit to your firm. Of all the Roses which I received from you last 

 season every one bloomed and it is needless for me to say that you will be favored 

 with my future orders. Yours very truly, WM. C. MECKFBSSE'L.
