 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.

 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

"CHARLES^ DINGEE" 



The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the World 



(See the Colored Photographic Illustration on Back Cover) 



To honor the name of Charles Dingee, we have 

 produced a Rose better than any other variety in 

 cultivation. We say, without fear of contradiction, 

 that the Charles Dingee Rose is far-and-away the 

 best garden Rose for general planting in the world 



It is always blooming, whether it is growing for 

 us or growing for you. The flowers are beautiful 

 beyond description, immense in size, deep, double 

 and grandly formed. It is hardy everywhere. 



The Charles Dingee Rose is the result of cross- 

 breeding between Hermosa, that grand old hardy 

 pink variety, and White Maman Cochet, perhaps the 

 greatest of all white garden Roses — a superb par- 

 entage, which insures its offspring every point of 

 excellence. With the hardy, vigorous constitution 

 of a Hybrid Perpetual, growing to perfection in 

 almost any soil or situation, it has the most mag- 



nificent foliage, absolutely free from disease, that 

 we have ever seen on any Rose. 



It is a tremendous grower, the best in our entire 

 list of over 8000 varieties. If you have a place where 

 other Roses have failed in that spot, Charles Dingee 

 will flourish and produce its gorgeous flowers with 

 wonderful profusion. We have had it growing and 

 blooming in all its glory in a temperature very little 

 above freezing. Growing to a height or 2 to 3 feet, 

 Charles Dingee blooms continuously, producing im- 

 mense, deep, double, grandly formed flowers on 

 long, stiff, erect stems; both in bud and bloom their 

 beauty is nothing short of superb, practically im- 

 possible to describe because of the delicate blending 

 of colors — rose tints in the center of the flower, 

 gradually shading off into pale blush creamy white, 

 a color effect both entirely new and distinct, ex- 

 quisitely beautiful.

 duplicates of it are intended to deceive. If a grower states that he can furnish another rose 

 which is the same, but under another name, don't accept such, but secure the true Charles Dingee.

 plants, on own roots, 75c each; $7.50 per dozen; 85c each by Parcel Post with soil on roots; extra heavy
