THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



Hardy Flowering Pinks* 



UNSURPASSED . FOR . BORDERS, BEDDING . AND . EDGING. 



ARDY Pinks stand to-day 

 without a peer in the 

 field of hardy blooming 

 plants. We do not know of 

 any other class of plants that pos- 

 sess as many points of genuine merit 

 and superior qualities, hence we call 

 particular attention to their adapta- 

 bility for bordering, bedding, etc. , and strong- 

 ly urge their more general planting, knowing 

 full well that they will greatly please and 

 produce most satisfactory results. The varie- 

 ties offered and described below are entirely 

 distinct from any others produced from seed, as these varieties but 

 rarely seed ; their profusion of bloom is something remarkable, 

 single clumps bearing ioo to 150 blooms, embracing a great variation 

 of color; flowers perfectly double, deliciously sweet-scented and of 

 good substance. One of the most distinct and salient features of 

 Hardy Pinks is their foliage, which does not change in Autumn, but 

 remains evergreen throughout the Winter in open ground, making 

 them extremely valuable for outdoor culture. Habit of growth 

 vigorous and very compact. 



PRICE— Any of the varieties named below, 15 cts. each; 2 for 25 cts.; 4 for 50 cts.; 

 q for $1, postpaid ; $7 per 100, toy Express only. 



Winter; very pretty, compact habit; nice for edging or 

 border.

 foliage and free bloomer ; flowers perfectly double ; color 

 rich maroon, blotched with white. A splendid sort. 



Gertrude. — One of the best. Very distinct and extremely 

 popular. Flowers a lovely rosy carmine, veined with sil- 

 very white and very sweet scented. Fine for edging. 



Juliet. — This charming variety is a very distinct type ; the 

 blooms are produced in the greatest profusion, and emit 

 a strong clove-scented aroma; color cherry red, variegated 

 pink and white. 



Louis Chretien. — A fine variety, very sweet scented ; white 

 flowers delicately tinted with rose. 



New White Hardy Flowering Pink, Her Majesty. 



Another year's trial on our own grounds has again demon- 

 strated that this superb New Hardy Pink will give about as 

 much satisfaction as is possible for any plant to give. We 

 offer it with renewed confidence as a Pink without an equal of 

 its color. It is a dwarf, compact and most vigorous grower, 

 with distinct foliage of a charming Nile-green color, that re- 

 tains its evergreen appearance throughout the Winter in open 

 ground. Even at this writing (December 1), after severe freez- 

 ing weather, it is still as green and fresh as it was in the midst 

 of the growing season. The exquisite clove-scented flowers 

 are produced in wonderful abundance on long, stiff stems; 

 they are perfectly double, exceedingly large, and in color 

 lovely clear white. "Her Majesty" rivals the finest carna- 

 tion in size and substance; a remarkably free bloomer, flow- 

 ering in May and early June. A bed of ■" Her Majesty" in 

 bloom is a sight to behold ; it is literally a solid sheet of white; 

 it is not uncommon to find fifty perfect buds and flowers at 

 one time on a blooming plant. 1st size, 15 cts. each; large 

 field-grown blooming clumps, 25 cts. each, by Express only. 



Alba Fimbriata ( White-Fringed Pink) .—A beautiful white

 Roses, and set them out May 28. Thev all lived and began im- 

 mediately to bud. I have kept count of the blossoms, and they 

 have had sixty blooms and forty-one buds on them ; now they 

 are as fine, healthy-looking plants as vou could wish to see. I
