Charles Dingee 



See photographic reproduction in colors, second cover 



Charles Dingee Rose blooms continuously, 

 producing immense, deep, double, grandly 

 formed flowers on long, stiff stems, the beauty 

 of which is nothing short of superb. The color 

 is a delicate blending of rose tints in the 

 center, which- gradually shade off into pale 

 blush and creamy white. Perfectly hardy in 

 all localities, it is sure to become the most 

 popular Rose of our day, because it is the 

 most beautiful, and for winter culture indoors, 

 in pots or boxes, it cannot be surpassed. It 

 is never out of bloom. Strong, special-size 

 plants, 35 cts. each, 3 for $1, $3.50 per doz.; 

 two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., 

 postpaid. Large, three-year-old plants, on 

 own roots, $1 each, at purchaser's expense.
