The Sweetest and 3Iost Vivid 



Crimson Rose inthe 



World, 



Introduced and for Sale Only by The 

 Dingee & Conard Company. 



This wonderful new variety is indeed a pearl 

 of the "first water. It originated in Germany, and 

 by special permission of the originator, Peter 

 Lambert, we have given it a name by which it 

 will be known and sold in this country. Having 

 secured control of the stock in America, we have 

 chosen to name it in honor of Virginia R. Coxe, 

 a talented American woman, a descendant of the 

 famous Randolph family of Virginia. 



A description is inadequate to portray the 

 beauty of this lovely variety, especially the flow- 

 ers, which are the glory of the plant. For in- 

 tense, dazzling color there is no other Rose to 

 compare with it. The flowers are 

 large, full and moderately double, 

 are handsomely made, of splen- 

 did substance, and are produced 

 on extraordinarily long stems that 

 shoot out beyond the foliage in free 

 yet handsome disorder. The color 

 is fiery crimson, shaded with a dark 

 velvety sheen, producing the most 

 gorgeous effect ever seen in any 

 Rose, and which completely 

 overshadows varieties that 

 have been considered here- 

 tofore the most brilliant 

 of their class. The fra- 

 grance is distinct and de- 

 liciously sweet, more so 

 than any Rose in our col- 

 lection. It grows to a 

 height of four to five feet, 

 is perfectly hardy in all 

 sections, and blooms all 

 the time. When in full 

 bloom the bush presents 

 a sight that fairly dazzles 

 Europe for a long while.
