| The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the World 
i iee the Colored Photograpic Illustration on Inside Back Cover) 
To honor the name of Charles Dingee, we have 
troduced a Rose better than any other variety 
i1 eultivation. We say, without fear of contradic- 
t on, that the “Charles Dingee Rose’’ is far-and-away 
tne ad garden Rose for general planting in the 
orld. 
It is always blooming, whether it is growing for 
\s or growing for you. The flowers are beautiful 
lLeyond description, immense in size, deep, double 
end grandly formed. It is hardy everywhere. 
_ The “Charles Dingee Rose’’ is the result of cross- 
lreeding between Hermosa, that grand old hardy 
ink variety, and White Maman Cochet, perhaps 
the greatest of all white garden Roses—a superb 
}parentage, which insures its offspring every point of 
«xcellence. With the hardy, vigorous constitution of 
« Hybrid Perpetual, growimg to perfection in almost 
iny soil or situation, it has the most magnificent 
‘ohage, absolutely free from disease, that we have 
(ver seen on any Rose. 
We have had it growing and blooming in all its 
jlory in a temperature very little above freezing. 
“rowing to a height of 2 to 3 feet, Charles Dingee 
looms continuously, producing immense, deep, 
louble, grandly formed flowers on long, stiff, erect 
tems; both in bud and bloom their beauty is nothing 
hort of superb, practically impossible to describe 
_ ecause of the delicate blending of colors—rose tints 
_ athe centers of the flower, gradually shading off into 
yale blush creamy white, a color effect both entirely 
1ew and distinct, exquisitely beautiful. Price of 
sharles Dingee: 25c for first size plants; 
: t-year-old plants 65c each, 2 for $1.25. Large 
Speimen Plants, 75c each postpaid.

through the season. The color is bright red. 
The Bride—There is no other white Rose more satis- 
factory than the Bride.

ing clear, shining pink flowers, the center being 
shaded fawn and amber.

tal of which is edged with dainty rose.
