Dingee Hardy Ever- 

 blooming Tea Roses 



Tea Roses form the foundation of nearly all the great Roses of to-day. Without them, 

 the lovely Hybrid Tea class would be impossible. They are among the oldest and most highly 

 cherished of all Roses. They have made the Rose-gardens of America what they are. Their 

 place and value is everlasting. Rugged, healthy and hardy in growth, free blooming (they 

 bloom all the time), their flowers are chaste and beautiful. You cannot well do without 

 them. They thrive gloriously in all sections of the country. 



Their ease of propagation has, unfortunately, caused them to be produced by some 

 growers in enormous quantities to meet a certain demand for "cheap Roses," and these 

 so-called cheap Roses have brought untold disappointment to all who have planted them, 

 and have discredited the business of every first-class Rose-dealer. Don't be misled into 

 buying these cheap, "one-eyed," "thumb-pot" Rose-plants made to sell at "popular prices." 

 Plant good Roses, grown by a firm with a reputation to sustain. Pay a fair price for high- 

 class goods, with a guarantee back of them — the Dingee kind — and you will soon become a 

 Rose enthusiast in the true sense of the word, and a permanent Dingee patron. 



Ours is the greatest collection of own-root Roses in the world. This collection of hardy, 

 everblooming Tea Roses is the very life of our immense list. To the beginner — the novice 

 in Rose culture — the great number of varieties may be confusing, but to eliminate a single 

 one, however, would do a distinct injustice to the introducer and to our collection, for each 

 variety has its own particular charm and merit. If you find it difficult to make a choice, leave 

 the selection to us. We will send you the varieties we would want were we buying instead 

 01 selling. You may safely rely upon full satisfaction, for that is guaranteed at all times by us.

Bridesmaid 



This variety is valuable for cutting and 

 does finely in the open ground; a sport from 

 the old and popular pink Tea, Catherine Mer- 

 met, but of a fine, clear dark pink, much 

 deeper and more constant in color than 

 Mermet. The bush is a strong, sturdy grower, 

 bearing all summer a profusion of dainty, 

 beautiful flowers on strong stems. 



The Bride 



There is no other white Rose more satis- 

 factory than The Bride. When planted in the 

 open ground, the flowers are sometimes 

 found to be delicately tinted with pink, mak- 

 ing it exceedingly attractive. The buds and 

 flowers are unusually large, well formed and 

 deliciously perfumed. It* is of a strong and 

 healthy growth, and a profuse bloomer^
