A MAGNIFIC E NT HARDY CRIM- 

 SON EVER-BLOOMiNG ROSE 



Princess Bonnie 



Originated and luiroiluced by I 



THE DINGEE & CONARD CO. | 



ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST, SWEETEST, FREEST 

 BLOOMING ROSES IN EXISTENCE ! 



Such is the PRINCESS BONNIE. It is sweeter than 

 La France, blooms all the time, perfectly hardy, brighter 

 than " Jack " — in short, the one Rose of all others that 

 you should not miss getting. If you must contine your- 

 self to one Rose, let it be PRINCESS BONNIE. " It is 

 the result of a cross between Bon Silene and WilUam 

 Francis Bennett, two varieties of remarkable merit. 

 Bennett is the Rose for which a noted Philadelphia Rose- 

 grower gave five thousand dollars. 



The fact that P RINCESS BO NNIE i s far sup e 

 rior to BENNETT is sufficient guarantee of 

 its excellence and gives an idea of its great 

 value. 



For beauty of bud and flower and exciuisite fragrance, 

 it is positively not surpassed by any Rose we know, while 

 for continuity of bloom and vigorous, healthy growth, 

 whether planted indoors or in open ground, it even sur- 

 passes a Geranium. It is everybody's Rose ! It is never 

 without buds and flo\vers, surpassing Clotihk iSoupert in 

 this respect. One of the freest blooming of all Roses. 

 The flowers are borne on long, stiff" stems and sometimes come in bouquet-like clusters of seven and eight. In 

 form thev are large, semi-double, and in bud are simply magnificent, bemg long and pouited, most exquisitely 

 finished.' The foliage is large, showing the Bon Silene blood, insurmg it agamst the ravages of msects and all 

 forms of disease. The color is charming— rich, solid crimson, deeper than Bennett and more vivid 

 than Jack ; the inner petals at the base are streaked with white. For fragrance PRINCESS BONNIE is 

 perhaps one of the most remarkable Roses yet introduced. The fragrance is delicious ; distinct from that of 

 any other Rose. It is not the pungent odor of the Hybrid Perpetual, but rather a delicate, refined scent so 

 peculiarly its own that if it produced but a single crop of flowers a year, its fragrance alone would entitle it to 

 a place among the Roses of distinction. // is perfectbj hardi/ in open groiuid. Il /x one of the grandest, hard;/ 

 Ever-hlooining Crimson Tea Hoses. We look upon it as a wonderful Rose. 



PRINCESS BONNIE FULLY DESERVES SUCH PRAISE AS THE FOLLOWING : 



Gentlemen : — Princess Bonnie is a prize Rose. 



*'New London, Ohio, 

 never saw such buds.
