THE DINQEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



Unparalleled Offer of Six Rare, Choice and Carefully Selected Roses, 

 for 50 Cents. Named Varieties. 



Without exception, this has been the most popular and widely appreciated offer that we have ever made. So great was 

 the demand for a similar collection during the season of 1893 that we have decided to renew for 1894, substituting other 

 varieties. 



To those whose space is confined to a diminutive yard, a window box, or to the limits of a room indoors, and who 

 long for the refreshing influence of a few superb Roses, this offer particularly appeals. 



The varieties that we include in the list belong to the favorite Tea Section, and are among the finest types of the class. 

 They will commence to bloom within an interval of a few weeks after having been planted and continue in flower until late 

 Autumn. They are especially adapted to either outdoor or house culture, and for brilliancy of effect will meet the require- 

 ments of the most fastidious. They are only semi-hardy, and therefore will require protection if left in the ground outside 

 during the Winter months — a covering of old straw or floor matting will suffice for this purpose. 



We will send the six varieties specified below by mail, postpaid, for 50 cents, and guarantee their safe arrival in fresh 

 and growing condition in every instance. 



Comtesse Eva Starhemberg 1 . — Flowers quite large 

 and full, with broad firm petals, very sweet ; color creamy 

 yellow with buff and ochre-yellow centre; petals prettily 

 bordered and edged with rose; very handsome and desirable. 



Madame Elie Lambert. — The flowers are extra large, 

 fine globular form, very full and well built up. The French 

 description says it is the absolute perfection of form. The 

 color is rich creamy white, faintly tinted with pale golden 

 yellow, and exquisitely bordered and shaded with soft rosy 

 flesh; exceedingly beautiful and very sweet; petals large 

 and of good substance; constant and profuse bloomer, 

 strong, vigorous and healthy grower — in short, a magnificent 

 Rose in every way. 



Madame Pernet Ducher. — A robust, vigorous grower; 

 buds turban shaped and very prettv ; flowers semi-double 

 and of medium size; color bright canary yellow; outside 

 petal light carmine, shaded to creamy white. 



Madame Louis Patry. — An extremely beautiful new 

 Tea Rose; the buds are fine, large and tapering, of excellent 



form and substance ; extra-large, well-filled flowers, opening 

 nicely; color rich silvery pink, delicately shaded with fine 

 rosy blush ; deliciously tea scented ; very double and attrac- 

 tive; we consider this one of the best new Tea Roses of the 

 year; a good, compact grower and constant bloomer. 



Maurice Rouvier. — One of the distinguishing charac- 

 teristics of this superb new Rose is its enormous size— the 

 flowers are immense; fine globular form, very fail and ex- 

 ceedingly sweet; the color is bright pinkish rose, elegantly 

 tinted with shades of buff, and prettily veined with deep 

 shining crimson, while many of the petals have a wide border 

 of silvery white, which gives the flowers a lighter effect than 

 the colors would appear to indicate. It is a good strong 

 grower and most prolific bloomer, well worthy of high com- 

 mendation. 



Marie Lambert {alias Snow/aie).—Pa\e flesh color, 

 passing to creamy white, veined and clouded soft carmine; 

 well known, and in great request. Has all the fine qualities 

 of a representative Rose.
