A MAGNIFICENT HARDY CRIMSON 

 EVER-BLOOMING ROSE. 



princess Ronnie 



Originated and Introduced by 

 THE DINGEE & CONARD CO. 



ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST, SWEETEST, FREEST BLOOMING 

 ROSES IN EXISTENCE! 



Such is the Princess Bonnie. It is sweeter than La 

 France, blooms all the time, perfectly hardy, brighter than 

 ^^Jack " — in short, the one Rose of all others that you 

 should not miss getting. If you must confine yourself to 

 one Rose, let it be Princess Bonnie. It is the result of a 

 cross between Bon Silene and William Fi^ancis Bennett, two 

 varieties of remarkable merit. Bennett is the Rose for which 

 a noted Philadelphia Rose-grower gave five thousand dollars. 



The fact that PRINCESS BONNIE is far supe- 

 rior to BENNETT is sufficient guarantee of its 

 excellence and gives an idea of its great value. . . 



For beauty of bud and flower and exquisite fragrance, it 

 is positively not surpassed by any Rose we know, while for 

 continuity of bloom and vigorous, healthy growth, whether 

 planted indoors or in open ground, it even surpasses a Ge- 

 ranium. It is everybody's Rose! It is never without buds 

 and flowers, .surpassing Clotilde Soupert in this respect. 

 One of the freest blooming of all Roses. The flowers are 

 borne on long, stiff stems and sometimes come in bouquet-like clusters of seven and eight. In form they are large, 

 semi-double, and in bud are simply magnificent, being long and pointed, most exquisitely finished. The foliage is 

 large, showing the Bon Silene blood, insuring it against the ravages of insects and all forms of disease. The color is 

 charming — rich, solid crimson, deeper than Bennett and more vivid than Jack; the inner petals at the base are 

 streaked with white. For fragrance Princess Bonnie is perhaps one of the most remarkable Roses yet introduced. The 

 fragrance is delicious ; distinct from that of any other Rose. It is not the pungent odor of the Hybrid Perpetual, but 

 rather a delicate, refined scent so peculiarly its own that if it produced but a single crop of flowers a year, its fragrance 

 alone would entitle it to a place among the Roses of distinction. // is perfectly hardy in open ground. It is 

 one of the grandest, hardy Ever-blooming Crimson Tea Roses. We look upon it as a wonderful Rose.
