See Colored Photographic Reproduction on Opposite Page 



If you want five of the finest Roses listed in this book, which will produce hundreds of superb flowers 

 throughout the growing season, and producing the kind of flowers one never tires of, order this Cochet set. 

 No matter where you five, they will give you perfect satisfaction. The Cochet Roses are perfectly hardy 

 in every part of the country, even where the winters are most severe, with slight protection. In the more 

 temperate sections and in the South they thrive vigorously and bloom most lavishly all summer long, growing 

 into great, strong, lusty bushes, which increase in beauty with the passing years. ' 



*PINK MAMAN COCHET. The Queen of all Pink *WHITE MAMAN COCHET 

 Garden Roses. The buds are large, full and firm, 

 elegantly pointed, showing depth and richness as 

 they expand. The superb flowers open perfectly 

 double, are extra large and of splendid substance. 

 Hardy in every section of the country; clear, rich 

 pink, changing to silvery-rose. 



*RED MAMAN COCHET (Helen Gould) . A Rose 



that will grow and give satisfaction in almost any 

 soil or situation. It produces flowers in amazing 

 profusion, on long, strong shoots. The flowers are 

 very full, perfectly double; buds long and pointed. 

 Color, warm, rosy crimson. 



♦CRIMSON MAMAN COCHET (Etoile de 

 France) . A fitting companion to the other Cochet 

 Roses on account of its vigor of growth, stiffness of 

 foliage, freedom of bloom and hardiness. It bears 

 masses of full, deep-formed flowers singly, on long, 

 substantial stems. The color is a new and clear 

 shade of red or velvety crimson, brightening in the 

 center ; of exquisite fragrance. 



A most magnificent 

 snow-white Rose, with sometimes a faint tinge of 

 pale blush. It has the same freedom of bloom as 

 the Pink Cochet, the same magnificent form of buds 

 and flowers, and the same hardiness — standing at 

 the very head of all Roses as the best white kind for 

 open ground culture. Vigorous as an oak and 

 hardy everywhere.

Dingee Dahlias 



The splendid qualities and gorgeous beauty of the present-day 

 Dahlia have won for it a place at the head of the most important 

 garden plants. JNone are easier to grow, respond more readily to 

 care and attention, or flower more freely. Few cultivated plants 

 have a wider range of color. The brilliant shades and the free, 

 fluffy Chrysanthemum-like form of its flowers make an enchanting 

 spectacle which never fails to attract attention. Plant soon as 

 ground is warm in a moderately rich soil, covering the tubers 

 six inches deep. Thin to one or two shoots. Cultivate well 

 until it begins to bloom; after that stir only the surface soil just 

 enough to prevent a crust forming.
