KANSAS. Out of about 50 first size Own Root Roses from you last year I only 

 lost 3 or 4 in spite of the severe dry hot summer. Charles Dingee is a wonder.

NEW ROSES — Continued 



Tal 



isman 



A very much advertised and sen- 

 sational rose. There do not seem to 

 be two descriptions that fit it in all 

 phases. Some speak very highly of 

 it while others condemn it. It has 

 one great redeeming feature and 

 that is its disease resistant quality. 

 We have found it a wonderful grow- 

 er and bloomer. Buds are handsome 

 of a mixture of orange yellow and 

 red, a striking combination. Superb 

 in early spring and in the late fall. 

 HOLT HEWETT (H.T.)— Some 

 growers report that this is one of 

 the finest shaped roses, and one 

 of the best for exhibition purposes. 

 Bud is well shaped on erect stems 

 opening into a large fine flower of 

 perfect form. Dark velvety crim- 

 son flushed scarlet, sweetly scent- 

 ed. 

 MISS C. E. VAN ROSSEM— Vel- 

 vety dark red, well formed buds 

 flowers almost the same shade, reinforc- 

 ed with scarlet and black; fragrant. Strong 

 bushy plant, free flowering. A good bed- 

 ding rose on account of producing flow- 

 ers under any condition.

Our Great New Rose "Garden Gem' 



Fancy Colored Rose "Talisman" 



Garden Gem 



This great new bush rose introduced and 

 for sale only by us is a remarkable rose — 

 it has no disease of any kind. Absolutely 

 free from Black Spot and kindred 

 ' diseases that are so annoying and 

 which are found so abundantly in 

 nearly all the roses of recent orig- 

 in. It has wonderfully clean, heavy 

 foliage. 



Its parentage is the finest of any 

 rose in cultivation — a hybridization 

 of "Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury"— a great 

 American rose and "America," an- 

 other great American (Hill) pro- 

 duction. 



It is a marvelously strong, heal- 

 thy grower under the most adverse 

 conditions, thriving even in ex- 

 treme heat — just a 

 2| grand grower. As al- 

 j0P* ready stated there is 

 ; ||pP^ no rose we know of 



'0^ to compare with it in 



the absolute healthy 

 growth that characterizes it at all 

 times. Of course it is but natural 

 that it should be a magnificent 

 bloomer, continuously bearing its 

 beautiful, satiny pink flowers of 

 lovely form on strong erect stems, 

 making it one of the greatest of 

 all roses, new or old, for garden 

 cultivation and for cutting.
