DINGEE'S ROSES ARE ALWAYS THE BEST 



J J I ,■ mn 



Greenhouse View. ' i 



FOR general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year- 1 

 old plants, such as we send by mail, bloom the first and each succeeding year, from early 

 Spring until severe frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion oi 

 flowers, owing to their size. The flowers are noted for their exquisite coloring and delightful 

 fragrance. Hardy everywhere in open ground with protection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs 

 or similar material. Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses; the harvest of bloom they give the first 

 year compensates for the trifling outlay. Any one can succeed with them. - . 



Dingee's Roses Have Made West Grove Famous 



Not only do we offer the largest and most complete collection of Roses in America, but we' 

 do more — we oft'er the highest quality at the lowest prices, which is more important to the buyer. 

 We claim for our stock that it is better grown than any other, and therefore success is almost certain 

 with Dingee's Roses. We do not believe it possible to grow good Roses in a pot less than two and 

 a half inches in diameter. Many of our one-year old Roses are grown in three-inch pots. It costs 

 more to grow such plants, but a lifetime's experience has taught us that what is g-ood for 

 customers is g-oocl for us. Such stock as we offer is far superior to Roses grown in one-and- 

 a-half and two-inch pots. Our prices are low — our stock the best. For the season of 1P08 we have 

 the finest as well as the largest stock of Roses we have ever had. You have a stock of over 

 one uiillion plants to choose from.

Aline Sisley 



One of the Best 



This is a splendid free-flowering, strong-growing, dark- 

 colored Tea, and beyond a doubt one of the most satis- 

 factory varieties for open ground culture, where it grows 

 to perfection. The flowers are very large, full and double. 

 The color is a rich, rare shade of violet red , brightened with 

 crimson maroon. The fragrance is exceedingly sweet, and 

 more pronounced than is found in most Teas. It blooms 

 with wonderful freedom. A grand red variety, and one 

 we think a great deal of. 



Andrew Schwartz 



" Ever-Blooming Jack " 



Since its introduction this Rose has been known as the 

 " true Tea Jacqueminot " because of its striking resemb- 

 lance to that famous variety. The flowers are beautifully 

 made, being large, full and of excellent substance. The 

 color is brilliant, glowing scarlet, passing to rich crimson, 

 very bright and strikingly beautiful. It is a strong, sturdy 

 grower and a constant and profuse bloomer. It cannot be 

 surpassed in open ground. 



Anna Oliver 



A Superb Freie-Blooming Rose 



A strong, vigorous grower, succeeding in almost any 

 situation ; indeed, we believe this to be one of the best 

 varieties— old or new— for general cultivation. The flowers 

 are extra large, with a full double form and splendid sub- 

 stance ; color lovely creamy blush (buff) shaded with deep 

 carmine, beautifully tinged and edged with silvery rose; 

 very fragrant. Good in every way. 



Bon Silene 



A Grand Old Rose 



This remarkable Rose was introduced in 1839, and up to 

 this time no new variety has superseded it, a fact that 

 bears ample testimony to its valuable qualities. It is 

 superb in every way. Perhaps the most noted feature is 

 the immense size and beauty of its buds, which cannot be 

 surpassed for bouquets and decorative purposes. The. 

 color is deep rose, sometimes bright rosy crimson, 

 occasionally pale light rose. In the open ground it grows 

 to perfection, producing crop after crop of its beautiful 

 flowers in unbroken continuity, from early Spring until 

 late in Autumn. Of all the Teas there are none better.
