-^BEAUTim EVES*BLOOMIIia EOSES-^ 



The Dingee & Oonard Oo.'s Beautiful Ever-Blooming Roses are now a house- 

 hold word wherever beautiful Roses are known. They are justly celebrated for their quick 

 and profuse bloom, their exquisite beauty and delicious fragrance. As Roses are the finest 

 of flowers, ours are the finest of Roses. They adorn the best places of city and country, 

 and add a charm of refinement and pleasure to the humblest home. 



Constant Bloomers. — The Ever-Blooming Roses are the only constant bloomers there 

 are ; they begin to bloom early in the season, or almost as soon as planted, and continue 

 blooming through all the Summer and Autumn months until stopped by freezing weather ; 

 in fact, if not removed from open ground, they are frequently frozen up or covered with 

 snow while in full bloom. The flowers are of beautiful form, very double and full, dehght- 

 ful fragrance, and of all the lovely shades of color that Roses ever assume. 



They do "Well Everywhere. — These Roses bloom and flourish luxuriantly in all parts 

 of the United States and many sections of Canada. 



Hardiness. — Most of the Ever-Blooming Roses will bear considerable freezing without 

 injury, and even when killed quite to the ground, if cut back to the live wood, and the root 

 is not hurt, they will throw up new shoots, and bloom as well as ever. If the plants are 

 strong and well established, they will usually survive the Winter in most localities in the 

 Middle States. If they are occasionally lost it is not a serious matter. New plants can be 

 obtained. Bedding plants are set every Spring for that season only. No flowers will better 

 repay their trifling cost than our beautiful Ever-Blooming Roses. In the South they flourish 

 luxuriantly and need no protection. 



Selections. — Persons who may be at a loss to select for themselves, can safely leave the 

 selections to us, merely saying what colors they prefer, or what the Roses are intended for. 

 We guarantee to please you. Varieties will all be labeled same as if ordered.
