Type of Dingee Hybrid Perpeinal. 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 or 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 cultiva- tion 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 hardy and on own roots. Many of our Hybrid Perpetuals are included among our justly popular "Iron-Clad Roses," a color plate of which is shown on inside front cover. Prices of all Roses in this section, except where noted, 15c each, any 4 for 50c, 9 for $1.00; larger size, 20c each, 3 for 50c; two-year-old plants, 45c each.
