THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



Success in Growing Roses 



depends upon, two things, the quality of the plants themselves and the knowledge of how to care for them. The name "DINGEE" 

 is the sterling mark— the guarantee of the high-bred quality that has made our Roses famous the world over. Dingee Roses are 

 the healthiest, hardiest and best grown. 



Growing Roses on their own roots is our specialty. We grow and sell each year over a million Rose plants. With seventy 

 greenhouses and this vast collection to choose from, we may fairly claim to be the Leading Rose Growers of America. In order to 

 ive the experience gleaned in threescore years in growing Rosfes we have published at an expense of over $10,000

Sixty Years Among the Roses" 



The Dingee Guide to Rose Culture 



It describes and prices more than 600 leading kinds, all on their own roots. It tells you the best Roses for your locality, and, most important of all, how 

 to make them grow and bloom abundantly . 



There are 116 large pages beautifully illustrated from photographs, including four full page pictures in natural colors; the color pages are not 

 cheap daubs of paint, but real, rich, charming photographic reproductions in all the soft and delicate tints of nature. There is no other book of Roses 

 that compares with it. If in the past you have failed in growing Roses secure this book — you will succeed. Our Firm was established in 1850, so we 

 have appropriately called this book "Sixty Years Among the Roses," which summarizes the life work of its founder member, Charles Dingee, now 

 eighty-four and still vitally interested while not active in the management or this business.

 MAGAZINE, while the edition lasts, it will be sent FREE for the asking. It describes and prices miscellaneous plants of all kinds, bulbs, Flower and 

 Vegetable seeds. Write for it to-day. 



Great Special Offering 



10,000 Dingee Iron-Clad, Own-Root Roses 



Large, Heavy, Three- Year-Old Field-Grown Plants for Quick Results 



We now offer for the first time by any firm a collection of practically all the leading varieties of hardy and semi-hardy Roses all on own roots, 

 also a few varieties which do best when budded, each one a gem and famous the world over. As they are (with the few exceptions rioted) all on their 

 own roots, once planted they are practically permanent and require little or no care, which is not the case with imported budded and grafted plants. 

 They are fully described in "Sixty Years Among the Roses" — copy free for the asking. 



They are the sturdiest, strongest and best rooted plants ever offered in this or any other country, and so far superior to budded and grafted stock 

 that it is not necessary for anyone to import Roses from England, Ireland or elsewhere, thus having to contend with the "sucker nuisance,'' for this is 

 obviated in this great collection here offered. These plants are sold at an extremely low price, and we guarantee safe arrival to any point in the U. S. 

 and absolute satisfaction, or refund the money. 



The stock is limited. Orders may be sent immediately and booked, tf requested, for delivery when wanted^ they will be filled in the rotation in 

 which they are received until the stock is exhausted, when m^ney wil! be refunded. 



PRICE of these extra heavy three-year-old plants, from 6, 7 and 8 inch pots, is 50c each, except where noted; $5.00 per dozen; 

 $37.50 per 100, carefully packed, by express, purchaser paying transportation charges.
