•^•^Charles Dingee" 



The Most Wonderful Rose Bush in the World 



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 

 parentage, which insures its offspring every point of exceUence. With 

 the hardy, vigorous constitution of a Hybrid Perpetual growing to 

 perfection in almost any soil or situation, it has the most magnificent 

 foliage, absolutely free from disease, that we have every seen on any 

 Rose. 



We have had it growing and blooming in aU its glory in a tempera- 

 ture very little above freezing. Growing to a height of 2 to 3 feet. 

 Charles Dingee blooms continuously, producing immense, deep, double, 

 grandly formed flowers on long, stiff, erect stems; both in bud and bloom 

 their beauty is nothing short of superb, practicaUy impossible to describe 

 because of deUcate blending of colors — rose tints in centers of the 

 flower, graduaUy shading off into pale blush creamy white, a color 

 effect both entirely new and distinct, exquisitely beautiful. 



Strong one-year-old plants. 30 cts. each; 4 for $1.00: $3.00 per dozen, postpaid. Large two-year-old 

 plants, on own roots, 85 cts. each; $8.50 per dozen by Parcel Post with soil on roots; extra heavy three-
