OUR GRAND 



New Hybrid Tea Rose 



CORONET 



Originated and Introduced by 



The Dingee & Conard Co. 



T 



HIS is without exception one of the most 

 magnificent Roses ever seen. It is a 

 true ever-blooming Paul Neyron, and 

 fully as large as that famous variety. It is as 

 sweet as the Rose of Damascus and as pretty 

 as a Peony. It is altogether a different type 

 of Rose from any offered in this book. It is 

 a true ever-blooming Hybrid Tea Rose, pro- 

 ducing continuously, on good stiff stems, 

 magnificent flowers* of immense size, which 

 frequently measure four to six inches in diameter. The 

 form is full, deep and wonderfully double. It is full to 

 the center, and when entirely open the flowers do not 

 look unlike Peonies, a resemblance that is made the more 

 striking by the peculiar color, which is totally unlike any other 

 Rose. In the bud the color is a deep, rich carmine, which, as 

 the flower opfns, lightens to a soft, pearly pink, with each petal 

 distinctly edged with silvery gray. The effect is beautiful. 

 Xo words will convey an idea of the delicious fragrance of this grand new 

 variety. It is more like the fragrance of the Damascus Rose— that variety whose 

 fragrance for centuries has been celebrated in sacred script and secular lore. 



In flower and foliage it resembles Food Neyron t while in growth it is like 



Bon Silene, its seed parent. It is a strong healthy grower, forming a con) pact 



bush. In the open ground, where it is hardy, it does splendidly, producing 



its grand flowers throughout the entire season. It requires slight protection 



during winter in the open ground . For size of flower, fragrance and freedom of bloom . 



Coronet is a king among Roses. We control the stock of this variety, and the genuine 



plants can be had only from us.
