Our Sensational New Rose 



"CHARLES DINGEE" 



(For Illustrative Details, see last cover page) 



Here in our own establishment we liave produced by hybridi- 

 zation a new Rose of extraordinary beauty and merit. It is the 

 premier garden Rose of today. Just as we predicted some years 

 ago, when we named and introduced Helen Gould (Balduin) that 

 GIANT WHITE NARCISSUS i* would take front rank as one of the great garden Roses — and 



it unquestionably has — we now predict for this new creation a 

 far greater popularity than any other Rose has attained, not even excepting the Cochet Roses. 



Of all the bright galaxy of famous Roses we have introduced — the Queen, Virginia, Marion 

 Dingee, Princess Bonnie, Pink Soupert, Golden Gate and many others, this lovely new variety is our 

 masterpiece. Out of hundreds of cross-fertilizations of the best varieties to which we have given 

 years of labor, our efforts have at last been fruitful, and January 1, 1909, this New Queen of Beauty 

 will be ready to go forth and add another triumph to American skill. 



We have named this great Rose in honor of Mr. Charles Dingee, the founder of this business, 

 who at the ripe age of 84 years, while no longer active in business affairs, is vitally interested in the 

 adherence of this business to the high and honorable business methods which for more than 50 years 

 characterized its growth under his immediate supervision. 



The Charles Dingee Rose has every point of excellence — the hardy, vigorous constitution of a 

 Hybrid Perpetual, magnificent large foliage, is a tremendous grower— the best in the list, blooms 

 continuously, producing immense double flowers on long, stiff stems, the beauty of which is nothing 

 short of superb. The color of the fiowers almost baffles description because of the delicate blending 

 of rose tints in the center which gradually shade off into pale flesh and creamy white, making it at 

 once both distinct and absolutely new in color effects. 



Full details and prices will be published in Our New Guide to Rose Culture for 1909, which 

 will be ready for distribution January 1. This is the one Rose you want next year. A plant — 

 either one or two years old — means hundreds of fiowers throughout the growing season. 

 CAUTION ^ ^^ ^^^ ^^^ originators and sole owners of the Charles Dingee Rose. Not a plant has 

 been or will be distributed until January 1, 1909, when orders will be filled in rota- 

 tion while the stock lasts. It cannot be had elsewhere.
