Dingee Hardy Everblooming Tea Roses —1*. Tea Roses form the foundation of nearly all the great Roses of today. Without them the lovely Hy- brid Tea class would be impossible. They are among the oldest and most highly cherished of all Roses. They have made the Rose-gardens of Amer- ica what they are. Their place and value is ever- lasting. Rugged, healthy and hardy in growth, free blooming (they bloom all the time), their flowers are chaste and beautiful. You cannot well do with- out them. They thrive gloriously in all sections Their ease of propagation has, unfortunately, caused them to be produced by some growers in enormous quantities to meet a certain demand for "cheap Roses," and these so-called cheap Roses have brought untold disappointment to all who have planted them, and have discredited the business of every first-class Rose dealer. Don't be misled into buying these cheap, "one-eyed," "thumb-pots" Rose- plants made to sell at popular prices. Plant good Albert Stopford It is superb, like Bon Silene, a vigorous and free bloomer, producing beautiful flowers in great pro- fusion. The color is a very dark crimson-rose. ALLIANCE FRANCp-RUSSE—A sturdy grower and free bloomer, with large, rich, yellow flowers of good substance. ANNA OLIVER—One of the best Roses for gen- eral cultivation, succeeding in almost any situation. The flowers are double, extra large, and of splen- did substance; color creamy-blush, shaded with deep carmine and edged with silver-rose. ALINE SISLEIY—One of the best. Rich shade of violet-red, brightened with crimson-maroon; flow- ers large, full and double; fragrance very sweet. Philadelphia, Pa., May 1st, 1917. Dear Sirs:—On the 30th of April I received my order of roses in fine condition per Adams Express. I wish to thank you for the prompt attention you gave my order and will cer- tainly recommend you to anyone wanting good stock and prompt attention, I am agreeably surprised at the size and condition of the plants. "Wishing you continued success, I remain, Respectfully yours, FRANCIS FINDLAY, JR. Roses, grown by a firm with a reputation to sustain. Pay a fair price for high-class goods, with a guaran- tee back of them—the Dingee kind—and you will soon become a Rose enthusiast. Ours is the greatest collection of own-root Roses in the world. This collection of hardy, everblooming Tea Roses is the very life of our immense list. To the beginner—the novice in Rose culture—the great number of varieties may be confusing, but to elimi- nate a single one, however, would do a distinct in- justice to the introducer and to our collection, for each variety has its own particular charm and merit. If you find it difficult to make a choice, leave selec- tion to us. Prices of all Hardy, Everblooming Tea Roses, ex- cept where noted, 15c each; 4 for 50c, postpaid; two- year-old plants, 40c each, by express; $4.00 per dozen of one or more varieties. Varieties marked * fur- nished in still larger or star size at 75c each. Andrew Schwartz (Everblooming Jack)—The flowers are large and of excellent substance. Color brilliant scarlet, changing to rich crimson. It is a strong, sturdy grower, and known as the True Tea Jacqueminot because of its resemblance to that famous variety. BEAUTE INCONSTANTE—This is a very odd and beautiful variety, a single bush bearing at one time flowers of various colors, ranging from orange to capuchin-red carmine. The buds are particularly large, beautiful and pointed. Especi- ally fine for open-ground culture and will attract attention wherever seen. BOADICElA—Fine, large; double, rose-pink flowers, produced in wonderful, profusion on good, stiff stems; buds long and pointed. Doylestown, Penna., October 4, 1917. Dear Sirs:—I feel that I must drop you a few lines to let you know how those grand plants turned out. I cannot express in words the pleasure I have derived from them. I have picked the grandest kind of Roses and they have been ad- mired by everyone who has seen them, and they are still full of large buds. Kindly, MRS. WM. KERR. 42
