"CHARLES DINGEE" 



The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the World 



(See the Colored Photographic Illustration on Back Cover) 



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 par- 

 entage, which insures its offspring every point of 

 excellence. With the hardy, vigorous constitution 



of a Hybrid Perpetual, growing to perfection in 

 almost any soil or situation, it has the most mag- 

 nificent foliage, absolutely free from disease, that 

 we have ever seen on any Rose. 



We have had it growing and blooming in all its 

 glory in a temperature 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 noth- 

 ing short of superb, practically impossible to de- 

 scribe because of the delicate blending of colors — 

 rose tints in the center of the flower, gradually 

 shading off into pale blush creamy white, a color 

 effect both entirely new and distinct, exquisitely 

 beautiful.

 Dingee. 



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

 roots, 75c each; $7.50 per dozen; 85c each by Parcel Post with soil on roots; extra heavy three-year-old plants,
