Introductions of 1892. Marion Dingee. Dingee Conard Co.
Raised from seed of Countess de Casserta, crossed with Duchess of Edinburgh. The Casserta blood is shown most in its foliage and habit of growth, while the flowers have much of the brilliant coloring and somewhat the form of Duchess of Edinburgh, but are altogether different and much more striking. Marion Dingee is a strong, vigorous grower, with large, thick, deep green leaves; the flowers are large, beautifully cup-shaped, moderately full, and borne in profusion all through the growing season; the flowers are borne nearly upright on long straight stems, and are of excellent substance, having thick, leathery petals, which hold their form and color for a long time; the color is deep, brilliant crimson, one of the darkest, if not the very darkest and richest colored Tea rose.

Four Valuable Tea Roses, Introduced by the Dingee & Conard Company.
Our house is always foremost in introducing New Varieties of real merit, and we now bring forward another candidate for public favor, a superb crimson Tea Rose, which we have named in honor of the daughter of the senior member of our Company.
New Crimson Tea Rose, Marion Dingee.
This grand New Rose was raised from seed of the beautiful Countess de Casserta, crossed with Duchess of Edinburgh. The Casserta blood is shown most in its foliage and habit of growth, while the flowers have much of the brilliant coloring and somewhat the form of Duchess of Edinburgh, but are altogether different and much more striking. Marion Dingee promises to be of extraoardinary value; it is a strong, vigorous grower, making a handsome graceful bush; with large, thick, deep green leaves; the flowers are large, beautifully cup-shaped, moderately full, and borne in wonderful profusion all through the growing season; in fact, we scarcely know of any other Rose that will produce so many perfect flowers in a given time; and whether in open ground or under glass it is a most constant and profuse bloomer; the flowers are borne nearly upright on long straight stems, and are of excellent substance, having thick leathery petals which hold their form and color for a long time; the color is perhaps its most remarkable feature; it is deep brilliant crimson, one of the darkest, if not the darkest and richest colored Tea Rose in existence, and we have no hesitation in asserting our belief that it is the finest crimson Tea Rose now known. We put the price as low as possible so it will be within the easy reach of all. 40 cents each; 3 for $1.10.
