The Newer Varieties of American Roses 



American Legion 



American Legion 



Hybrid Tea — An American production, having been pro- 

 duced by Edward Towill, Roslyn, Pa. The blooms of 

 this rose the past season brought almost as much as the 

 famous rose American Beauty and as it becomes better 

 known we predict, it will be as popular as the color 

 is such a pleasing shade of Cerise which it retains until all 

 petals fall. Buds produced on long stiff stems well above 

 the foliage and of immense size, long and pointed, opening 

 full and double, a great producer. Foliage dark green free 

 from diseases such as Black Spot, Mildew,etc. Awarded First 

 Prize for a new rose in 1920. Silver Medal by the Penna. 

 Horticulture Society and the International Rose Show of 

 New York. Wonderful keeper thus making it an ideal 

 rose for cutting. Equally good as a forcing rose or for 

 outside, being absolutely hardy in all localities. Price — 

 First size plants, 50c each; 3 for $1.25 postpaid; two-year- 

 old plants, $1.50 each; $15.00 per dozen by express. All 

 grown on own roots. 



The Roses listed on this and the four following 

 pages comprise the best, latest and most beautiful 

 productions of the famous Rosarians, and all 

 lands have contributed to this collection. We 

 have spared no expense or effort in securing them. 

 We offer them only after a careful watching of 

 the habits and adaptability for outdoor culture 

 suitable for our climate. The first size plants are 

 strong and sturdy, while the two-year-old plants 

 are magnificent, strong bushes which will take 

 hold immediately when planted, grow vigorously 

 and bloom profusely. These are the largest and 

 finest Roses ever sold, and are in keeping with 

 the high quality which has made Dingee Roses 

 famous the world over. All grown on their own 

 roots. Not budded, except where noted, which 

 is the usual kind secured in the new varieties. 

 These are the best of the latest introductions, and 

 have all proven to be just what they are repre- 

 sented. The stock of these new kinds is naturally 

 limited, and orders are filled in rotation as they 

 are received. We therefore suggest placing your 

 order early.
