A MAGNIFICENT HARDY 

 CRIMSON EVER-BLOOMING ROSE 



'PRINCESS BONNIE" 



Originated and introduced by 

 THE DINGEE& CONARD CO. 



One of the Brightest, Sweetest, Freest Bloom- 

 ing 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 your- 

 self to one Hose, let it be PRINCESS BONNIE. It is 

 the result of a cross between Bon Sdene and WUiam 

 Francis 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- 

 lior 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 Ruse we know, while 

 for continuity of bloom and vigorous, healthy growth, 

 whether planted indoors or in open ground, it even sur- 

 passes a Geranium. It is everybody's Rose! It is never 

 without buds and flowers, surpassing O.oiilde Souperi in 

 this respect. One of the freest blooming of all Ruses. 

 The flowers are borne on long, stiff stems and sometimes 

 come in bouauafc-like clusters of seven and eight In form they are large, semi double, and in bud are sim-
