OUR GRAND 



New Hybrid Tea Rose 



CORONET 



Originated and Introduced by 

 The Dinqee & Conard Co. 





HIS is without exception one of the 

 ''^^^Jj most magnificent Roses ever seen, 

 'u^ It is a true ever-blooming Paul Ney- 

 }'on,a.nd fully as large as that famous variety. 

 It is as sweet as the Rose of Damascus and 

 as pretty as a Peony. It is altogether a dif- 

 ferent type of Rose from any offered in this 

 book. It is a true ever-blooming Hybrid 

 Tea Rose, producing continuously, on good 

 stiff stems, magnificent flowers of immense 

 size, which frequently measure four to six inches in 

 diameter. The form is full, deep and wonderfully 

 double. It is full to the center, and when entirely 

 open the flowers do not look unlike Peonies, a resem- 

 blance that is made the more striking by the peculiar color, 

 which is totally unlike any other Rose. In the bud the color is a 

 deep, rich carmine, which, as the flower opens, lightens to a soft, 

 pearly pink, with each petal distinctly edged with silvery gray. 

 The eft'ect is beautiful. 

 No words will convey an idea of the delicious- fragrance of this grand 

 new variety. It is more like the fragrance of the Damascus Rose — that 

 variety whose fragrance for centuries has been celebrated in sacred script 

 and secular lore. 



In flower and foliage it resembles Paul Neyron, while in growth it is 

 like Bon Sifene, its seed parent. It is a strong, healthy grower, forming a 

 compact bush. In the open ground, where it is hardy, it does splendidly, produc- 

 ing its grand flowers throughout the entire season. It requires slight protection 

 during winter in the open ground. For size of flower, fragrance and freedom of 

 bloom. Coronet is a king among Roses. We control the stock of this variety, 

 and the genuine plants can be had only from us.
