Dingee Famous 



Hybrid Tea Roses 



For many years 

 we have had by far 

 the most complete 

 and extensive Hst of 

 Hybrid Tea Roses in 

 the business, having 

 been the first house 

 to call particular at- 

 tention to their won- 

 derful value. Ours is the greatest collection 

 in this country. As the new varieties are 

 introduced they are given a trial, and if 

 found wanting in any respect are discarded and 

 not offered to the Rose-growing public until they 

 prove worthy. This excellent class combines the 

 continuous-blooming quality of the Everblooming 

 Teas and the sturdy strength of the Hybrid Per- 

 petuals. The plants bloom the first year, like the 

 Teas, bearing large, finely formed flowers of a 

 wondrous range of color, with the fragrance of the 

 June Roses. They are especially valuable to North- 

 ern planters because they stand the severest win- 

 ters with ordinary protection and, of course, lux- 

 uriantly in the South. In all sections they form 

 magnificent bushes, bearing all summer great 

 masses of most beautiful Roses imaginable. Unless 

 a Hybrid Tea Rose bush is grown from the choicest 



two-eyed cutting — the Dingee method it will not 



give satisfaction. All our stock is on its own roots 

 — don't buy the other kind, budded and grafted. 

 We offer strong, lusty plants in all sizes and stake 

 our reputation upon their quality. 



^Bessie Brown 



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. 



ADMIRAL WARD — The color is a crimson-red, 

 shaded with a fiery red and velvety purple. Mag- 

 nificent buds, opening large, full and double; 

 vigorous grower, with a spreading and erect 

 branching habit. The foliage is a large glossy 

 green, free from insects or disease; exception- 

 ally fine for outdoor growing; free blooming and 

 hardy everywhere.
