Type of Dinjree Hybrid Perpetual. Dingee Famous Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual Roses, or "June Roses," as they are sometimes called, are the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are of vigorous, upright growth, have large, bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and are deliciously fragrant. These Roses will succeed in any locality and are so hardy that they will live through the severest winters with but a light protection of leaves or coarse manure. Some of the kinds do not bloom until the second year, but, when fully established, they all bloom freely at the usual time, early in the season. The Hybrid Perpetuals will stand hardship and neglect, but give much better results with good cultivation and rich soil. Always plant in open ground, as these Roses are not suitable for house culture. Our collection of Hybrid Perpetuals is by far the best in the country. The plants we send out are strong and hearty and on own roots. The smallest size plants are grown in pots not less than 3 and ZV2 inches in diameter and are strong, sturdy stock. Many of our Hybrid Perpetuals are included among our justly popular "Iron-Clad Roses," a color plate of which is shown on page 20. Prices of all Roses in this section, except where noted, 15 cts. each: any I for r>0 cts.: 9 for SI: larirer size, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; two-year-old plants, 45 cts. each.
