The Darkest of all Crimson Tea Roses, 



Marion Dingee." 



^UR illustration will afford an idea of the magnificent beauty of 

 this grand new Rose. It was raised from seed of the beautiful 

 Countess de Caserta, crossed witli Duchess of Edinburgh, and 

 ~^' named in honor of the daughter of the senior member of our Com^ 



pany, now a little Miss of nine Summers. This Rose, in color, is unlike anything 

 yet seen in Tea Roses, and it is at the same time remarkable for its freedom and 

 constancy of bloom in open ground. From the standpoint of the home planter, 

 it is perhaps the most valuable of all Tea Roses. Certain it is that no Rose has 

 attained such popularity as has Marion Dingee. As an outdoor Rose it has 

 no superior, and the increasing demand for it affords ample evidence that the fact is 

 generally known. Marion Dingee was introduced by us. 



It is a strong, vigforous grower, making 



, a handsome, graceful bush, with large thick 



\ deep-green leaves; the flowers are large, 



\ beautifully cup-shaped, moderately full, 



\and borne in wonderful profusion all 



through the growing season; in fact, we 



scarcely know of any other Rose that will 



^ produce as many perfect flowers in a griven 



time: the flowers are borne nearly up- 



right on long straight stems and are of 

 excellent substance, having thick, leathery 

 petals which hold their form and color for 

 a long time; it is deep brilliant crimson, 

 one of the darkest, if not the very darkest, 

 richest colored Tea Rose in existence. It 

 flowers in great profusion and wonderful 

 perfection in the open ground, where it is 

 particularly valuable.
