Dingee Ever-blooming Tea Roses 



The Best for Winter Blooming „ , , :j „ ,_ rj(f >P«»y*igyflM— M^B—BBBI 



While not so hardy as the Hybrid Teas or 

 Hybrid Perpetuals, yet with protection they 

 will live through the Winters in almost all 

 sections of the country, except in the extreme 

 North. In the South they are unexcelled, 

 whether planted in the open ground or used 

 for pot culture. The fact that one-year-old 

 plants produce a profusion of flowers makes 

 them indispensable to every Rose-lover. 



The Wonderful Rose 

 Charles Dingee 



Note photographs in natural colors on in- 

 side front cover. 



The almost unlimited resources of our great 

 West Grove greenhouses have been severely 

 taxed to propagate enough plants of this re- 

 markable Rose to meet the demands for it, and 

 even now we have not an oversupply. The 

 unprecedented demand for this remarkable Rose 

 was so great last Spring that it almost ex- 

 hausted our immense stock, and we can offer 

 only one-year and two-year plants at this time. 

 Charles Dingee Rose blooms continuously, pro- 

 ducing immense, deep, double, grandly formed 

 flowers on long, stiff stems, the beauty of 

 which is nothing short of superb. The color 

 is a delicate blending of rose tints in the 

 center, which gradually shade off into pale 

 blush and creamy white. For Winter culture 

 indoors, in pots or boxes, it cannot be sur- 

 passed. It is never out of bloom. Strong, 

 special-size plants, 20 cts. each, six for SI, 

 $2 per doz. ; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each, 

 $5 per doz. 



"I wish to say that I have one of 

 your Charles Dingee Roses, and am not 

 surprised at it being called the most 

 wonderful bush Rose in the world." —
