BARONESS ROTHSCHILD— Rose-lovers in all 



countries agree that it is the acme of perfection in 

 flower and growth. Flowers bright rosy-pink, of 

 immense size and globular form. The boldness 

 of the flowers, with their broad, thick petals, sug- 

 gests solidity and massiveness; they are borne 

 erect on stout, thick canes. Perfectly hardy and 

 bloom twice and frequently three times in a sea- 

 son. Price, two-year-old plants, extra heavy, bud- 

 ded only, $1.00. 



*BOULE DE NIEGE— A very hardy, pure white 

 variety, medium size; very full, double flowers of 

 delightful fragrance. 



*COUETTE DES BLANCHES— Pure snowy- 

 white, sometimes faintly tinged with pale rose; 

 blooms in large clusters; medium size, full and 

 slightly fragrant. 



GLOIRE DE MARGOTTIN— Flowers large, some- 

 what globular, full and deliciously scented; clear, 

 dazzling red. 



Dingee Famous Hardy 

 Hybrid Perpetual Roses 



There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual 

 Roses, or "June Roses," as they are sometimes 

 called, are the most valuable of all hardy plants. 

 They are of vigorous, upright growth, have large, 

 bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 or 6 inches in 

 diameter, and are deliciously fragrant. These 

 Roses will succeed in any locality and are so hardy 

 that they will live through the severest winters with 

 but a light protection of leaves or coarse manure. 

 Some of the kinds do not bloom until the second 

 year, but, when fully established, they all bloom 

 freely at the usual time, early in the season. The 

 Hybrid Perpetuals will withstand hardship and 

 neglect, but give much better results with good 

 cutivation and rich soil. Always plant in open 

 ground, as these Roses are not suitable for house 

 culture. Our collection of Hybrid Perpetuals is 

 by far the best in the country. Plant strong hardy, 

 on own roots.

 ceedingly brilliant and handsome; makes magnifi- 

 cent buds and flowers, highly esteemed as one of

 Baroness Rothschild. Recommended by expert 

 growers as the finest Rose of this type. Strong, 

 vigorous grower, .handsome foliage. Flowers

*ANNA DE DIESBACH (Glory of Paris)— Most 

 lovely brilliant carmine, long, pointed buds, and 

 large, finely formed, compact flowers; very full and 

 double and delightfully sweet. A vigorous grower 

 and fine bloomer. One of the hardiest of the well- 

 known, desirable Roses. 



*FRANCOIS LEVET— One of the best and most 

 satisfactory of all Hybrid Roses. An unusually 

 vigorous grower, and free blooming. Large, finely 

 made flowers almost the size of Paul Neyron;

 in summer and glowing in autumn. Large, full
