MARION DINGER. 



The Darkest of all Crimson Tea Roses. 



Marion Dingee 



UR illustration will afford an idea of the magnificent beauty of 



this grand new Rose. It was raised from seed of the beautiful 



Countess de Caserta, crossed with Duchess of Edinburgh, and 



named in honor of the daughter of the senior member of our 



Company, now a little Miss of twelve Summers. This Rose, in color, is unlike 



anything yet seen in Tea Roses, and it is at the same time remarkable for 



its freedom and constancy of bloom in open ground. From the standpoint 



of the home planter, it is perhaps the most valuable of all Tea Roses. Certain it is 



that no Rose has attained such popularity as has Marion Dingee. Aa an outdoor Rose 



it has no surerior, and the increasing demand for it affords ample evidence that the 



fact is geneially known. Marion Dirigee was introduced by us. 



It is a strong, vigorous grower, making a handsome, graceful bush, with large, thick 

 deep-green leaves; the flowers are large, beautifully cup-shaped, moderately full, and 

 borne in wonderful profusion all through the growing season ; in fact, we scarcely know 

 of any other Rose that will produce as many perfect flowers in a given time; the 

 flowers are borne nearly upright on long, straight stems and are of excellent substance, 

 having thick, leathery petals which hold their form and color for a long time; it is 

 deep brilliant crimson, one of the darkest, if not the very darkest, richest colored Tea 

 Rose in existence. It flowers in great profusion and wonderful perfection in the open 

 ground, where it is particularly valuable.
