OUR 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, no w a little Miss of seven 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." As 

 an outdoor Rose it has no superior, and the increasing demand 

 for it affords ample evidence that the fact is generally known. 



It is a strong:, vigorous grower, mak- 

 ing a handsome, graceful bush, with large 

 thick deep-green leaves; the flowers are 

 large, beautifully cup-shaped, moder- 

 ately fall, and borne in wonderful profu- 

 sion 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, the darkest, if not the very dark- 

 est richest colored Tea Rose in existence. 

 Flowers can be seen in great profusion 

 and wonderful perfection in the open 

 ground, where it is particularly valuable.
