Mad. Abel Chatenay 



GRAND NEW PERPETUAL- 

 BLOOMING ROSE 



We are very much inclined to regard this splendid Rose as the best of its color — rosy carmine, with 

 darker shade. It does remarkably well in the open ground, has wonderfully beautiful flowers, which are 

 full, deep and double. A very hardy Rose, Chatenay is a strong grower and free bloomer and has won friends 

 wherever it has been planted. The illustration herewith indicates something of the great beauty of this 

 splendid Rose, but it must be seen to be fully appreciated. We have a large stock of superior quality, and 

 urgently recommend all our customers to include Mad. Abel Chatenay in their rose orders for this spring.

CHARLES DINGEE ROSE ^JS«,/|-t,^09 



It took many years of diligent labor to evolve a Rose which we consider worthy of the name of 

 Dingee, and, now that we have found it, we do not hesitate to praise it as the greatest triumph of Rose 

 hybridization. In the Charles Dingee Rose we will perpetuate the name of the founder of our establish- 

 ment, and this Rose will proclaim his name to the coming generations in a fit and appropiate manner. 



Of all the famous Roses which we have introduced during the past three-score years, this is the 

 crowning masterpiece. It combines hardy and vigorous constitution with great beauty, and wiU be heralded 

 throughout the world as another triumph of Azaerican creative enterprise. 



MAD. ABEL CHATENAY ROSE 



CHARLES DINGEE ROSE SURPASSES IN BEAUTY EVERY OTHER ROSE 



Magnificent, long, stiff stems carry superb, double flowers of most pleasing color effect — a delicate 

 blending of rose tints, shading off into pale flesh and creamy white on outer petals. These lovely blossoms 

 are produced in great masses, another point of excellence which puts Charles Dingee Rose so far above 

 the average. Taken all in all, Charles Dingee Rose is the foremost Rose of the century. It should be 

 included in every order for Dingee Roses, and comparative trials will in every instance prove the truth of, 

 our assertions. See color photograph on last cover page and full description and prices on page 114.
