^ J* A MAGNIFICENT HAR^Y
CRIMSON EVER-'BLOOMING ROSE,
Oriipnatcd and Introduced by the Dingee & Conard Co.
ONU Ol- rni: BRIGHTEST, SWEETEST, FREEST
BLOOMING ROSES IN EXISTENCE!
Such is the Pkinckss Bonnie. It is sweeter
than lua France, bU)oms all the time, perfectly
hardy, britihtor than *' J(H'^'"— in short, the one
Rose t.f all others that yon should not miss get-
tiujx. If you n\ust eontine yourself to one Rose,
lot it be Pkinckss Bonnik. It is the result of a
ctoss between Bon Sitcne and William Francis
licnnctt^ two varieties of remarkable merit. Beii-
nctt is the Rose for which u noted Philadelphia
Rose grower gave live thousand dollars (55ooo).
The fact that T'rmcess 'Bonnie is far
sup efiof to *iBenrictt h sufficient guar-
antee of its excellence and gives an
idea of its great value. ¥ if^ ¥ ¥

Vov boauiy i.f bud ami tUnvor and exquisite
^'^ fragrance, it is positively not surpassed by any
lioso Nve kuoNv, Nvhilo for continuity i.f bK.otn atul vigorous, healthy growth, whether jilanted
indoors or in open ground, it even surpasses a (loranium. It is everybody's Rose! It is never
without buds and tlowers, surpassing Clotilde Soitpet't in this respect. One of the freest blooming
of all Koses. The tlowers are borne on long, stitf stems and sometimes come in bouquet-like
clusters of seven and eight. In form they are large, semi-double, and in bud are simply magnifi-
cent, being long and pointed, most exquisitely tinished. The foliage is large, showing the Boh
Sitene blood, insuring it against the ravages of insects and all forms of disease. The color is
charming— rich, solid crimson, deeper than iiV»«cff and more vivid than JacA"; the inner petals
at the base are streaked with white. For fragrance Puinckss Bonnie is perhaps one of the most
remarkable Roses yet introduced. The fragrance is delicious; distinct from that of any other
Rose. It is not the pungent odor of the Hybrid Perpetual, but rather a delicate, retined scent so
peculiarly its own that if it produced but a single crop of tlowers a year, its fragrance alone would
entitle it to a place among the Koses i.f distiuction. 7^ j\s perjWtli/ hardy in open (jround. It is
one of tho iTrandeat hardu Eve-rblooniini) Crimson Tea Hoses. We look upon it as a wonderful Rose.
