We Want You to Have the 
Greatest of Rose Books 
E are just completing a great new book at acost of $10,000. Init is given the 
: W experience of three-score years in growing Roses for the flower-loving public 
of America. It tells you the best Roses for your locality, how to secure them, 
and, most important of all, how to make them grow and bloom, so that it is possible to 
have an abundance of flowers in your own yard or garden. More than 600 leading kinds 
on their own roots are described. There are 116 large pages, beautifully illustrated in 
photographs, including four full-page pictures in natural colors. There is no other book 
on Roses that compares with it. It is the best and most beautiful; the color pages are 
not cheap daubs of paint, but real, rich, charming photographic reprod uctions in all the 
soft and delicate tints of nature. If you have failed in growing Roses in the past, secure 
this book—you will succeed. Our Firm was established in 1850, so we have appropriately 
called this book, which summarizes the life-work of its founder member, 
“SIXTY YEARS AMONG THE ROSES” 
or The Dingee Guide to Rose Culture 
In 1850 this country was young in the making. The telegraph, the telephone and 
transcontinental railroads were but dreams; the great West was still in primeval wild- 
ness. It was then that Charles Dingee—now eighty- four, still vitally interested while not 
active in the management of our business—believed that growing Roses on their own 
Toots was, practicable, and to send them by mail to all parts of the country equally so. 
From this thought has developed one of America’s great industries. During all these 
years millions of Dingee Roses growing in all parts of the world bear testimony to their 
quality. They are the best, aad today are better and more favorably known than ever. 
Our collection is the largest in America. All our knowledge about Roses gathered in 
_ these many years is yours by reading this splendid work. 
We'll Pay You to Send for and Read this Book
