NEW G-TTIDE TO ROSE CULTURE. 35 



Our Beautiful Ever-Blooming Roses. 



The Dingee-Conard Roses are the finest in the world ; they are remarkable for quick and constant 

 bloom, exquisite beauty and delicious fragrance. 



Constant Bloomers.— Our EVER-BLOOMING ROSES begin to bloom soon after they are 

 planted out, and continue blooming through all the Summer and Autumn months, until frozen up or cov- 

 ered with snow. The flowers are of beautiful form, very double and full; delightful fragrance, and of all 

 the lovely shades of color that Roses ever assume. 



They do Well Everywhere. — These beautiful Roses thrive and bloom nicely in all narts of the 

 United States and most sections of Canada. 



Are they Hardy? — No, not entirely so, though many varieties will bear the Winter in most sections 

 of the Middle States, if given a light covering of leaves or evergreen branches. The tops may be killed 

 quite to the ground, but if cut back to the live wood, and the roots are not hurt, they will throw up new 

 shoots and bloom as well as ever. 



Not a Serious Matter. — If they are occasionally killed by the Winter, it is not a serious matter, as 

 they can now be replaced as cheaply as bedding plants, which are bought for one season only. No flowers 

 better repay their trifling cost than our beautiful Ever- Blooming Roses, and, if necessary, you can well af- 

 ford to get fresh plants every year. In the South they flourish luxuriantly and grow to large size. 



Selection of Varieties. — Our friends can select any varieties they prefer, or, if they desire it, we 

 will select for them ; and if we are told the colors preferred, and what the Roses are for, we can select with 

 the certainty of giving perfect satisfaction. The varieties will all be labeled exactly as if selected by the 

 purchaser.
