THE DING-EE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



Ever=blooming Bourbon and China Roses. 



As the Bourbon and China Roses are hardy in most localities, we have placed them together. They 

 are mostly strong, vigorous growers, free and continuous bloomers ; many are noted for the large size of 

 their flowers and brilliant colors ; they are also the best Autumn bloomers, remaining in flower until the 

 approach of Winter. For fine reliable all-round Roses this family cannot be surpassed.
