Dingee Hardy Everblooming Tea Roses 



— 1*. 



Tea Roses form the foundation of nearly all the 

 great Roses of today. Without them the lovely Hy- 

 brid Tea class would be impossible. They are 

 among the oldest and most highly cherished of all 

 Roses. They have made the Rose-gardens of Amer- 

 ica what they are. Their place and value is ever- 

 lasting. Rugged, healthy and hardy in growth, free 

 blooming (they bloom all the time), their flowers 

 are chaste and beautiful. You cannot well do with- 

 out them. They thrive gloriously in all sections 



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 first-class Rose dealer. Don't be misled into 

 buying these cheap, "one-eyed," "thumb-pots" Rose- 

 plants made to sell at popular prices. Plant good 



Albert Stopford 



It is superb, like Bon Silene, a vigorous and free 

 bloomer, producing beautiful flowers in great pro- 

 fusion. The color is a very dark crimson-rose. 

 ALLIANCE FRANCp-RUSSE— A sturdy grower 

 and free bloomer, with large, rich, yellow flowers 

 of good substance. 

 ANNA OLIVER— One of the best Roses for gen- 

 eral cultivation, succeeding in almost any situation. 

 The flowers are double, extra large, and of splen- 

 did substance; color creamy-blush, shaded with 

 deep carmine and edged with silver-rose. 

 ALINE SISLEIY— One of the best. Rich shade of 

 violet-red, brightened with crimson-maroon; flow- 

 ers large, full and double; fragrance very sweet.

 nate a single one, however, would do a distinct in- 

 justice to the introducer and to our collection, for 

 each variety has its own particular charm and merit.

 tion to us.

Andrew Schwartz 



(Everblooming Jack) — The flowers are large and 

 of excellent substance. Color brilliant scarlet, 

 changing to rich crimson. It is a strong, sturdy 

 grower, and known as the True Tea Jacqueminot 

 because of its resemblance to that famous variety. 

 BEAUTE INCONSTANTE— This is a very odd 

 and beautiful variety, a single bush bearing at one 

 time flowers of various colors, ranging from 

 orange to capuchin-red carmine. The buds are 

 particularly large, beautiful and pointed. Especi- 

 ally fine for open-ground culture and will attract 

 attention wherever seen. 

 BOADICElA — Fine, large; double, rose-pink flowers, 

 produced in wonderful , profusion on good, stiff 

 stems; buds long and pointed. 



Doylestown, Penna., October 4, 1917. 

 Dear Sirs: — I feel that I must drop you a few lines to let you 

 know how those grand plants turned out. I cannot express 

 in words the pleasure I have derived from them. I have 

 picked the grandest kind of Roses and they have been ad- 

 mired by everyone who has seen them, and they are still full 

 of large buds. Kindly, MRS. WM. KERR.
