Our Great New Rose "Garden Gem" 



Garden Gem 



This great new bush rose introduced and for sale 

 only by us is a remarkable rose — it has no disease of 

 any kind. Absolutely free from Black Spot and kin- 

 dred diseases that are so annoying and winch are found 

 so abundantly in nearly all the roses of recent origin. 

 It has wonderfully clean, heavy foliage. 



Its parentage is the finest of any rose in cultivation 

 — a hybridization of "Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury" — a 

 great American rose and "America," another great 

 American (Hill) production. There is a royal parent- 

 age for you and this is a royal rose, fit to wear the 

 diadem that belongs to the Queen of Beauty. 



It is a marvelously strong, healthy grower under the 

 most adverse conditions, thriving even in extreme 

 heat — just a grand grower. As already stated there is 

 no rose we know of to compare with it in the absolute 

 healthy growth that characterizes it at all times. Of 

 course it is but natural that it should be a magnificent 

 bloomer, continuously bearing its beautiful, satiny 

 pink flowers of lovely form on strong erect stems, 

 making it one of the greatest of all roses, new or old, 

 for gard en cultivation and for cutting.

Dingee Famous 

 Hybrid Tea Roses 



The Most Desirable of All 

 It has not been many years since the intro- 

 duction of the Hybrid Tea class of roses by 

 Guillot. It is a part of the early history of 

 the Rose in this country that this house was 

 the first to call attention to the valuable 

 characteristics of the class, and was greatly 

 instrumental in making it the most popular. 

 Today the great majority of roses grown are 

 Hybrid Teas, and new varieties are 

 being produced by the hundreds. 

 s^»&^ The Hybrid Teas, as a class, are 

 m/^^ the most satisfactory of roses. They 

 produce the most beautiful blooms, 

 of all forms and colors — and con- 

 tinuously from early spring until heavy 

 frost. Like the Hybrid Perpetuals, they are 

 vigorous growers; hardy, but not exception- 

 ally so. Therefore they are well adapted 

 for growing in our temperate climates, but 

 in zones of extreme winters need some pro- 

 tection. Their foliage is heavy and disease 

 resisting, but, as with all roses, must be pro- 

 tected from the ravages of insects. 



Our collection of Hybrid Teas is extensive 

 and complete. But the varieties offered in 

 the following pages have been selected with 

 an understanding of the needs of the amateur 

 grower, and are varieties that have shown 

 themselves to be well adapted for growing. 



Two New Sensational 

 "Dingee" Roses 



Originated, introduced and for sale only by 

 The Dingee & Conard Co., West Grove, Penna. 



The advent of a new rose of genuine merit is one of 

 the rarest occurrences we know of. We might ask 

 ourselves — "Where are the new roses of yesterday. "' 



Very few new Roses introduced in recent years. 

 mostly of foreign origin, are even heard of today. Lack- 

 ing in health, usually with flowers with but few petals, 

 they have been discarded. People who want real joy 

 from planting a few Roses will make no mistake in 

 depending upon the great Roses as offered in this book 

 such as Charles Dingee, our own introduction and 

 one of the greatest garden Roses, Pink and Red 

 Radiance. Briarcliff, a magnificent newcomer, 

 Francis Scott Key and our two wonderful new intro- 

 ductions. Garden Gem and Crimson Beauty, Rose 

 Hill, a gorgeous new variety. Gaiety, a sturdy, fancy 

 colored variety — all the leaders are offered in this 

 book. No one need go outside of our collection no 

 matter how large their planting may be for genuine 

 and absolute satisfaction.
