1mm Bonnie. 



Originated and Introduced by the Dingee & Conard Co. 



THE BRIGHTEST, SWEETEST, FREEST 

 BLOOMING ROSE IN EXISTENCE ! 



Stich is tlie Princess Bonnie. It is sweeter 

 than La France, blooms all the time, perfectly- 

 hardy ^ brighter than "Jacfc" — in short, the one 

 Rose of all others that you should not miss getting. 

 If you must confine yourself to one Rose, let it be 

 Princess Bonnie. It is the result of a cross be- 

 tween Bon Sitene and William Francis Bennett, 

 two varieties of remarkable merit. Bennett is the 

 Rose for which a noted Philadelphia Rose grower 

 gave five thousand dollars (I5000). 



The fact that Princess Bonnie is far 

 superior to Bennett is sufficient guar- 

 antee of its excellence and gives an 

 idea of its great value* ¥ ¥ ^ ¥ 



For beauty of bud and flower and exquisite 

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

 without buds and flowers, surpassing Clotilde Soupert in this respect. One of the freest blooming 

 of all Roses. The flowers are borne on long, stifi" stems and sometimes come in bouquet-like 

 clusters of seven and eight. In form they are large, semi-double, and in bud are simply magnifi- 

 cent, being long and pointed, most exquisitely finished. The foliage is large, showing the Bon 

 Silene blood, insuring it against the ravages of insects 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 the most remark- 

 able Rose 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. It is perfectly hardy in open ground It is the only 

 hardy Ever- blooming Crimson Tea Rose. We look upon it as a wonderful Rose.
