THE DINGEE & CONARD CO., WEST GROVE, PA. 



2 Grand New Hybrid Tea Roses 



J. B, CLARK 



PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT 



Introduced and Controlled by 



THE 



DINGEE & CONARD 



COMPANY 



This splendid new variety is a rival of La France, 

 Duchess of Albany and similar pink kinds, which 

 It excells in freedom of bloom in the open ground. 

 It is thoroughly distinct, and is worthy of a high 

 place among this charming class. 



It is the issue of numerous hybridizations from 

 various seedlings and is the result of years of 

 labor. It has a splendid constitution, rather a 

 dwarf habit of growth and is freer flowering than 

 any other Hybrid Tea. especially during the Sum- 

 mer, producing a great abundance of lovelv buds 

 and flowers all through the season. The flowers are 

 finely formed with petals of wonderful substance, 

 full and double; color bright lively pink which re- 

 mains true to the last. The fragrance is similar to 

 Cherry Blossoms. If you want a rugged, hardy, 

 free blooming Rose give this new varietv a trial. 

 For sale only by us. Strong young plants. 30 cts. 

 each; 4 for $1; two-year-old plants, 60 cts, each; 

 2 for $1. 



J. B. CLARK 



An Irish Gem 



"We now offer for the first time this great i 

 new Rose originated by Hugh Dickson, Bel-i 

 fast, Ireland, and if the introducer's claims^ 

 are reliable— and Mr. Dickson does not usu-i 

 ally make claims that are otherwise — this] 

 Rose will supersede such great varieties as' 

 Richmond, Liberty, Meteor, and take a place 

 distmctly its own in the Hybrid Tea class. 



On exhibition J. B. Clark has been shown: 

 with fiowers 7 inches in diameter and 51 

 inches deep. Think of it! There is no de- 

 scription adequate to cover such a phenom-i 

 enal Rose as this. It is a strong, upright 

 grower, with splendid, heavy, dark bronzy- j 

 green foliage, but the glory of the plant is 

 its flowers. They are extraordinary in size,: 

 beautifully formed petals of great depth andi 

 substance; the half opened bud full and^ 

 elongated, with a high pointed center. , 



The color is new — intense deep scarlet, i 

 heavily shaded blackish-crimson like the! 

 sheen on a plum, giving the expanded flow-' 

 er an indescribably beautiful appearance. 

 Fragrance intensely sweet. The stock of this 

 great Rose is limited, and we will fill orders i 

 in_the rotation in which they are received, i 

 Strong one-year-old plants, $1 each, nost- i 

 paid. ' 



The London Daily Mail of July 7, 1905 

 m writing of the National Rose Society's 

 Annual Show, held on Julv 6th, savs "an 

 exhibit which attracted universal atten- 

 tion was a new bloom, a triumph of the 

 Rose Growers' Art, named J. B. Clark. It 

 won the silver medal as the best blossom 

 in the Show."
