A Grand Hardy Rose, introduced from 

 Europe 



Again we desire to call j^our attention to this 

 magnificent Rose which maintains itself as one 

 of the best that has ever been introduced 

 into this country from Europe. It has unsur- 

 passed beauty of a totally distinct character, 

 bearing large, full, deep and double flowers, on 

 strong, erect stems. The plants are hardy and 

 vigorous, producing flowers profusely in the 

 open ground all through the summer. The color 

 is almost pure white, though sometimes flushed 

 with pink ; petals large and of fine form. 20 

 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3. Larger plants 25 cts. each, 

 $1 for 5, postpaid ; 2-5rr.-old plants 40 cts. each. 

 *METEOR. Vigorous and healthy ; a constant 

 bloomer ; highly recommended for bedding 

 and general planting, as well as for growing 

 in pots and conservatories. Color rich velvety 

 crimson, very striking ; both buds and flow- 

 ers are large, elegantly formed, very double. 

 LADY JOY. A new color of lively crimson ; 

 flowers very double and open beautifully ; 

 cup-shape; as large as the American Beauty, 

 deliciously fragrant. Splendid foliage. 

 LA DETROIT. Fragrant like Bon Silene, and 

 color of sheU-pink, shading to a soft rose ; 

 outer petals of creamy color. Very attractive. 

 MADAM BERTHE EONTAINE. Bright rose, 



large, half-filled and fragrant flowers 

 MA TULIPE. Long tulip-like buds and semi- 

 double flowers, borne with great freedom. 

 Color a dark carmine-red. 

 RED CHATENAY. One of the most popular 

 Roses in cultivation, differing in color from the 

 parent, Mad. Abel Chatenay. 

 PERLE VON GODESBERG. A splendid Rose and 

 worthy of a trial. The color is a rich canary- 

 yellow, with light saffron shadings. It was sent 

 out from Germany as a yellow Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria, but with us it has failed to prove to be 

 . a pure yellow.

Prince of Bulgaria 



This magnificent Rose has been well recom- 

 mended by hundreds of our customers, and we 

 have grown an extra-large stock in order that 

 we might give it the wider distribution which 

 its merits cause it to deserve. Not the least of 

 its charms is the large, bright green foliage, and 

 the buds are simply grand. The flowers are 

 large and quite full ; outer petals superb rosy 

 flesh, with the index petals of a slightly lighter 

 tint. This wonderful Rose, of great beauty 

 and fragrance, will be enjoyed by the o\\-ners of 

 Dingee rose-gardens throughout the L'nited 

 States.
