Typical Hybrid 

 Tea Roses. 



Dingee Famous Hybrid Tea Roses 



For many years we have had by far the most complete and extensive list of Hybrid Tea Roses in the busi- 

 ness, having- been the first house to call particular attention to their wonderful 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 class 

 combines the continuous-blooming- quality of the Ever-blooming Teas and the sturdy strength of the Hybrid 

 Perpetuals. 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 northern planters be- 

 cause they stand the severest winters with ordinary protection and, of course, luxuriantly in the south. In all 

 sections they form magnificent bushes, bearing all summer through great masses of the most beautiful Roses 

 imaginable. They are, without exception, the greatest of all garden Roses, 



Unless a Hybrid Tea Rose bush is grown from the chiocest 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. This 

 is important if you wish satisfactory results. We offer strong, lusty plants in all sizes, and stake our reputation 

 upon their quality — best in the world.
