OUR illustration will afford an idea of the 

 magnificent beauty of this grand new 

 Rose. It was raised from seed of the 

 beautiful Countess de Caserta, crossed 

 with Duchess of Edinburgh, and named in 

 honor of the daughter of the senior member 



of our Company, now a little Miss of eight Summers. This Rose, in 

 color, is unlike anything yet seen in Tea Roses, and it is at the 

 same time remarkable for its freedom and constancy of bloom in 

 open ground. From the standpoint of the home planter, it is 

 perhaps the most valuable of all Tea Roses. Certain it is that no 

 Rose has attained such popularity as has " Marion Dingee." As 

 an outdoor Rose it has no superior, and the increasing demand 

 for it affords ample evidence that the fact is generally known. 



It is a strong, vigorous grower, mak- nearly upright on long straight stems and 

 inga handsome, graceful hush, with large are of excellent substance, having thick, 

 thick deep-green leaves; the flowers are leathery petals which hold their form and 

 large, beautifully cup-shaped, nioder- color for a long time ; it is deep brilliant 

 ately full, and bornein wonderful profit- crimson, one of the darkest, if not the 

 gion ail through the growing season ; in very darkest richest colored Tea Rose in 

 fact, we scarcely know of any other Rose existence. It flowers in great profusion 

 that will produce as many perfect flowers and wonderful perfection in the open 

 in a given time; the flowers are borne ground, where it is particulary valuable.
