HYBRID TEAS— Continued. 



Richmond. 



Queen Beatrice 



The $30,000 Rose 



One of the epochs of our business was the in- 

 troduction of this magnificent American Rose, 

 and those who have never planted it should do 

 so this spring. It is a Hybrid Tea, a cross be- 

 tween Mad. Abel Chatenay and Liberty, with 

 color an intermediate shade between those of 

 its two parents. When first opening it is much 

 darker than the Bridesmaid, and gradually fades 

 to the beautiful silvery pink of La France when 

 the Rose is at its best. The form of the flower 

 resembles that of Liberty, large, full and double. 

 It is a strong and healthy grower and very free 

 flowering. Delicately fragrant and a splendid 

 keeper, it is ideal for cut-flower purposes, $30,000 

 was paid for the control of the original plants. 

 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts. ; larger size, 25 cts. 

 each; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



Brooklyn, New York, April 8, 1912. 

 Gentlemen: — 'Tis a pity that all mankind has not known 

 the Dingee & Conard Roses. They are well true to their 

 name. My Roses from your firm are better than those 

 from any of the other Rose growers. 



Yours truly, 



Frederick Schreck. 



Richmond 



A Gorgeous Crimson Rose.

 other variety can compare with it. In form and fra- 

 grance of flower it is simply superb. Wonderfully free 

 blooming, its immense, fragrant, scarlet-crimson flow-

 of American Beauty, and even more dazzling in ap- 

 pearance. Richmond is a Rose which attained wonder- 

 ful popularity in a marvelously short time, and is con- 

 sidered the standard deep crimson Rose in the florists' 

 shops, selling at all times for high prices. In the gar- 

 den its flowers are a^ fine as those found in the green- 

 houses. Perfectly hardy. 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts.;
