Mrs. Charles Dingee 



Introduced and for sale only by The Dingee ^ Conard Co. 



Both the Rose-loA-ing public and ourselves are to be congratulated 

 upon the introduction of tliis great new golden yellow Hybrid Tea Rose. 

 The production of a Rose of this rare color in this class has long been 

 sought after, and it is a matter of pride that we are the first to introduce 

 it exclusively, all of the stock being under our control. We have named 

 it Mrs. Charles Dingee, and it will make a delightful compjanion Rose 

 to that famous new variety, Charles Dingee, the greatest R,ose of the 

 century. This variety, however, has every quality that belongs to an 

 absolutely first-class Rose, possessing a vigorous constitution that is 

 well-nigh perfect, growing in almost any ordinary soil or situation, forms 

 a beautiful compact bush, has splendid foliage, bearing its immense, 

 full, deep, double flowers on stiff stems with the utmost profusion. The 

 color is pure golden yellow, and the form of the flower is magnificent. 

 This is a Rose among Roses, and its introduction marks an important 

 epoch in the Rose world.

T> U ^^ "D ^: J A MAGNIFICENT NEW 

 JxJieE JxClCl CRIMSON GARDEN ROSE 



" As large as American Beauty, as double as La France and as 

 red as Riclmiend," is the enthusiastic way the originator describes 

 tliis beautiful new Hybrid Tea Bush Rose. After thorough trials, 

 "we can safely say that it is all of this, and more, and we believe for an 

 :all-round garden Rose for outdoor culture it has no equal. The color 

 is vivid scarlet-crimson, and the flowers are marvels of beauty, large, 

 bold and of splendid substance. It has a strong, disease-resisting 

 constitution, makes a rapid growth, and throws up a profusion of 

 •canes from the roots and is always blooming. 



Our ad^'ice is to plant it and plant liberally of it, and you will 

 derive more real pleasure from one plant of such a Rose as this than 

 from twenty-five inferior kinds. Very hardy and exceedingly thrift}'.

RHEA REID ROSES 



A WONDERFUL NEW PINK HARDY 

 HYBRID TEA ROSE 



Helen Mills 



Introduced and for sale only by The Dingee ^ Conard Co. 



In the bright galaxy of now famous pink Hybrid Tea Roses it would seem impossible at first thought 

 to produce a new variety of superior merit. We have no fear, however, of the result of public opinion when 

 tliis superb newcomer is tried out in comparison with such sterling favorites as La France, Queen Beatrice, 

 Wellesley, Killarney, My Maryland, Mrs. Jardine, and many others, for it is absolutely distinct, there be- 

 ing no variety in any class showing the delicate tints and shadings found in this fair debutante. 



It has that which is of prime importance — a hardy, ^'igorous con- 

 stitution, forming a s^-mmetrical bush, and by reason of its unusually 

 vigorous habit it makes a sturdy plant, with large, hea\-y insect-proof 

 foliage, which is a feature worthy of special mention. 



It blooms as freely as any Tea Rose, from the first days of spring 

 continuously throughout the growing season, and is rarely ever out of 

 bloom, a single plant producing innumerable flowers on stiff, strong 

 stems, well above the foliage. The flowers are glorious in form, perfectly 

 molded, with largo, heavy petals of splendid substance, fonuing a 

 long, pointed bud, while the open flower is large, full, deep and well 

 filled. The fragrance is delicious beyond description, while the color is an 

 exquisite shade of pink, daintily and peculiarly clouded with lighter 

 shades. Nature must have conceived this lovely variety in one of her 

 most gracious moods, for there is no other Rose like it. It is absolutely 

 perfect in every particular, and our thorough trials lead us to endorse 

 it in the most enthusiastic terms. It will surely take a place in the front 

 rank as a truly remarkable Rose, suited in even.- particular for our 

 varying climatic needs. 



' Stock is limited, and orders will be filled in rotation as they are re- 

 ceived. Strong, yoimg plants, from pots 3 and 3/ inches in diameter,
