The 

 American Beauty Set 



...SIX FAMOUS HARDY... 

 EVER-BLOOMING ROSES 



SO famous has our "American Beauty Set" 

 our friends who have planted the Roses in 

 incomplete without it. Each year we 

 bring into this set the cream of the best 

 Roses in cultivation, and by preparing ahead 

 and growing them in large quantities we are 

 able to offer them at almost one-half their 

 regular cost. In making up this collection 

 our aim was to include only the best varie- 

 ties, those that combine a variety of color, 

 beauty of flower and bud, both in form and 

 richness of color, certainty, freedom and con- 

 tinuity of bloom, ease of culture and hardi- 

 ness under open-ground culture. With that 

 world-renowned variety— American Beauty 

 — at the head of the list, all of them are justly 

 famous. Peerless in the beauty of their 

 flowers, certain to grow and bloom profusely, 

 they represent the highest degree of perfec- 

 tion yet found in Roses. They should find a 

 ready welcome from every one who loves 

 really beautiful Roses. With ordinary care 

 success is certain with them. During Winter 

 in open ground they should be given ordi- 

 nary protection.

 The Dingee & Conard Co., 



Gentlemen : — The Wistaria Vines and Rose bushes 

 which you sent me arrived in very perfect condition, and 

 I thank you for filling the order so generously. Some 

 fifteen years ago I had Rose bushes from you for my 

 garden at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, and they grew 

 and increased so well that I have not needed any more 

 till now, when I am beginning a new garden in New Hamp- 

 shire. Yours sincerely, 



Edith Page.

of Roses become that we and thousands of 

 this collection would consider our Catalogue 



AHERICAN BEAUTY 



The most Famous of all Roses.— This is perhaps 

 the grandest and most beautiful Rose now known. It 

 is both scarce and valuable, and hard to get true to 

 name. We guarantee every plant we send out to 

 be true to name. The flowers are four to six inches 

 across, extra large, full, deep and double. The color is 

 rich, rosy crimson, exquisitely shaded and veined. Its 

 fragrance is superb. It is a strong grower and a con- 

 stant bloomer. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 6 for $1. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each by Express. 



ETOILE DE LYON 



The Best Yellow Tea Rose.— A magnificent, rich, 

 golden yellow Rose ; an immense bloomer, bearing flow- 

 ers early and continuously throughout the season ; the 

 flowers are deep, rich and full and of excellent sub- 

 stance. Remarkably hardy, both as to heat and cold, 

 and without doubt the best yellow Rose for outdoor cul- 

 tivation. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.00. 



THE QUEEN 



One of the Best White Tea Roses.— Was intro- 

 duced by us in 1889. It is a large, pure white, free- 

 blooming Tea Rose, the offspring of that fine old Rose, 

 the Souv. d'un Amie. It is a continuous bloomer, 

 producing successive crops of buds and flowers in 

 great profusion. Color pure snowy white ; exquisitely 

 scented; a vigorous and healthy grower; one of the 

 best, if not the best, white Tea Roses now in cultiva- 

 tion. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.00. 



HAD. DE WATTEVILLE 



The Tulip Rose.— The color is a remarkable shade 

 of creamy yellow, richly colored with rosy blush ; the 

 petals are large and each one widely bordered with 

 bright crimson, which gives it a very. striking and beau- 

 tiful appearance. The flowers are large, very full, and 

 highly perfumed. For planting in the open ground 

 Mad. de Watteville takes front rank, being a hardy, vig- 

 orous grower, standing the sun and weather well ; a 

 profuse bloomer and unsurpassed for cutting. 15 cts. 

 each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.00. 



MAMAN COCHET 



The Queen of Pink Garden Roses.— Growing 

 side by side with other varieties of its color, this grand 

 new Rose is vastly superior to them. In rapidity 

 and sturdiness of growth, profusion of bloom, and 

 superb form of bud and flower, it will be hard to find 

 its equal. Small pot plants in open ground will, during 

 the season, produce on long, stiff stems hundreds of 

 perfect flowers, that are enchanting in fragrance and 

 delicate brightness. The color is rich and mellow — 

 pearly pink, changing to silvery rose. It blooms nearly 

 all the time. We recommend it as a grand Rose in every 

 particular. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts. ; 9 for $1.00. 



FRANCISCA KRUQER 



A Superb Variety.— It would be hard to name a 

 better or more satisfactory Rose. It is especially 

 adapted to bedding or massing. Holds its foliage 

 under all sorts of adverse conditions. The flowers 

 are deeply shaded coppery yellow in color, and are 

 of large size. A strong, vigorous grower and a good, 

 constant bloomer. Just the Rose that will give the ut« 

 most satisfaction. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.00.
