NEW GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE. 35 



OUR BEAUTIFUL EYER-BLOOMING ROSES. 



The Dingee-Oonard Roses are the finest in the world ; they are remarkable for quick 

 and constant bloom, exquisite beauty and delicious fragrance. 



Constant Bloomers.— Our EVER-BLOOMING ROSES begin to bloom soon after they 

 are planted out, and continue blooming through all the Summer and Autumn months, until 

 frozen up or covered with snow. The flowers are of beautiful form, very double and full ; 

 delightful fragrance, and of all the lovely shades of color that Roses ever assume. 



They do Well Everywhere. — These beautiful Roses grow and bloom nicely in all parts 

 of the United States and most sections of Canada. 



Are they Hardy ? — No, not entirely so, though many varieties will bear the Winter in 

 most sections of the Middle States, if given a light covering of leaves or evergreen branches. 

 The tops may be killed quite to the ground, but if cut back to the live wood and the roots 

 are not hurt they will throw up new shoots and bloom as well as ever. 



Not a Serious Matter. — If they are occasionally killed by the Winter, it is not a serious 

 matter, as they can now be replaced as cheaply as bedding plants, which are bought for one 

 season only. No flowers better repay their trifling cost than our beautiful Ever-Blooming 

 Roses, and, if necessary, you can well afford to get fresh plants every year. In the South 

 they flourish luxuriantly and grow to large size. 



Selection of Varieties. — Our friends can select any varieties they prefer, or, if they 

 desire it, we will select for them ; and if we are told the colors preferred, and what the Roses 

 are for, we can select with the certainty of giving perfect satisfaction. The varieties will all 

 be labeled exactly as if selected by the purchaser.
