“Dingee” is the name that has been associated with America’s most famous

is in itself a guarantee that Dingee Roses are the strongest, hardiest and most 
beautiful grown.

Rose plants—each one on its own roots and guaranteed to grow and bloom.

It’s pretty hard to improve on the plans of old Mother Nature. A few thousand years ago she laid out America 
as ‘‘an addition”’ to the known world. She ‘‘put it on’’ at the psychological moment, all right, and no real-estate 
man has been able to better her methods! The divisions and subdivisions worked out in the plans of the old 
dame have proved the accuracy of her foresight by the way iu which they have served the purpose of mankind. 
IN THE ALLEGHENY MOUNTAINS 
Mother Nature established: her nursery for the new territory. Here she showed a display of beautiful flowers, 
attractive shrubs and stately trees never equalled since the world began—here where they would make effective 
appeal to the throngs pressing on to occupy the plains and valleys beyond. And today, throughout the valleys of 
the Mississippi and its tributaries, south to the Gulf, north to the Lakes and west to the Rockies, there are 
growing trees and plants from the slips and seeds carried out of the Allegheny Mountains by the old pioneers. 
OLD-TIME HARDY GARDENS 
have never lost their popularity in the Alleghenies, and now that they are ‘‘coming in’’ everywhere again 
it Is to these Mountains that one must go for the best specimens of the old-cime favorites. We are growing 
hardy plants as a specialty, in the heart of the Southern Alleghenies where the rich but shallow soil. the long 
growing season and the short sharp winters combine to produce plants of extreme hardiness and thriftiness. 
Our new book, ‘Peter's Plants—with which to Create Anew the Old-Time Hardy Gardens,” 
free to every applicant. See what we offer before buying for the season's planting. We 
prepay transportation charges on stock purchased of us if crder amounts to $ro or more.
