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



GREENHOUSE VIEW 



'OR general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-yea 



old plants, such as we send by Mail, bloom the first and each succeeding year, from ear 



(^ ^ Spring until severe frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion ( 



'^^^^ flowers, owing to their size. The flowers are noted for their exquisite coloring and deligh 



^■^ Q ful fragrance. Hardy everywhere in open ground with protection of litter, leaves, evergree 



boughs or similar material. Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses, the harvest of bloom the 



give the first year compensates for the trifling outlay. Any one can succeed with them. 



We Outstrip All Competition Both in Quolity and Price 



Not only do we offer the largest and most complete collection of Roses in America, but we do more- 

 we offer the highest quality at the lowest prices, which is more important to the buyer. We claii 

 for our stock that it is better grown than any other, and therefore success is almost certain wit 

 D. & C. Roses. We do not believe it possible to grow good Roses in a pot less than two and a ha 

 inches in diameter. Many of our one-year-old Roses are grown in three-inch pots. It costs more t 

 grow such plants, but a lifetime's experience has taught us that zvJwt is good for customers is goo 

 for us. Such stock as we offer is far superior to Roses grown in one-and-a-half and two-inch pot 

 Our prices are low — our stock the best. For the season of 1906 we have the finest as well as th 

 largest stock of Roses we have ever had. You have a stock of over one viillion plants to choose from

^ ALINE SISLEY ^ 



One of the Best 



This is a splendid free-flowering, strong-growing, 

 dark-colored Tea, and beyond a doubt one of the 

 most satisfactory varieties for open ground culture, 

 where it grows to perfection. The flowers are very 

 large, full and double. The color is a rich, rare 

 shade of violet red, brightened with crimson ma- 

 roon. The fragrance is exceedingly sweet, and 

 more pronounced than is found in most Teas. It 

 blooms with wonderful freedom. A grand red 

 variety, and one we think a great deal of.

"Ever-Biooming Jack" 



Since its introduction this Rose has been known 

 as the "true Tea Jacqueminot" because of its strik- 

 ing resemblance to that famous variety. The flow- 

 ers are beautifully made, being large, full and of 

 excellent substance. The color is brilliant, glowing 

 scarlet, passing to rich crimson, very bright and 

 strikingly beautiful. It is a strong, sturdy grower 

 and a constant and profuse bloomer. It cannot be 

 surpassed in open ground.

A Superb Free-Blooming Rose 



. A strong, vigorous grower, succeeding in almos 

 any situation; indeed, we believe this to be one Oi 

 the best varieties — old or new — for general cultivajs 

 tion. The flowers are extra large, with a full doublt 

 form and splendid substance; color lovely cream;i 

 blush (buff) shaded with deep carmine, beautifuUI 

 tinged and edged with silvery rose; very fragrant 

 Good in every way. j 



5« BON SILENE X \ 



A Grand Old Rose 



This remarkable Rose was introduced in 1839, and 

 up to this time no new variety has superseded it, s 

 fact that bears ample testimony to its valuabu 

 qualities. It is superb in every way. Perhaps thi 

 most noted feature is the immense size and beautj 

 of its buds, which cannot be surpassed for bouquets! 

 and' decorative purposes. The color is deep rose; 

 sometimes bright rosy crimson, occasionally pal 

 light rose. In the open ground it grows to perfeo 

 tion, producing crop after crop of its beautiful flo-s\' 

 ers in unbroken continuity, from early Spring unt 

 late in Autumn. Of all the Teas there are non 

 better (see illustration, page 50).
