Dingee Pot-Grown Own-Root Roses 
For several years we have 
offered our customers pot- 
grown, Own-root Roses for 
Fall planting, and we cannot 
emphasize too strongly the 
advisability of Fall planting 
during the months of August, 
September, October and, in 
the South and Southwest, 
November. 
We were the firstin America 
to produce the Rose plants 
suitable for this purpose. 
Since then the proposition has 
been introduced’ generally, 
but we still maintain the 
lead in both quality and 
quantity of these famous 
Dingee pot-grown Rose 
bushes for immediate 
planting. 
The Two-Year-Old Roses 
Offered on the Follow- 
ing Pages 
have been specially pre- 
pared for Autumn plant- 
ing and are shipped by 
express, leaving the soil 
in which they have 
been growing on their roots, 
and the change does not 
check their growth in any 
way. 
Our list is exceedingly com- 
lete and embraces all the 
eading varieties of Roses. 
These plants have been rest- 
ing all summer and are now 
growing in large pots and 
may be planted anywhere in 
the United States with entire safety. One great 
advantage they have over field-grown Roses is that 
they have been grown in pots or crocks and may 
be transplanted at your convenience whilst field- 
grown plants are only good for planting late in the 
Fall, after they have become dormant, which gives 
them no chance in the average locality to be 
shipped and planted in time to become established 
before Winter sets in. Our famous Dingee pot- 
grown Roses, planted in August, September, 
October and November, according to where you 
live, will become thoroughly established before

cold weather, and you thereby gain one year in 
growing and blooming capacity, and you will 
thus have an abundance of bloom next Spring. 
The chief reason that we are able to prepare 
such a low cost of this splendid assortment of 
Roses is our growing equipment, which is now the 
foremost in America. 
The important point is plant early. Protect 
with evergreen boughs, straw or litter, and then 
Wiese varieties will invariably go through the winter 
safely. 
Famous Hybrid ‘Tea Roses 
The Most Desirable of All 
For many years we have had by far the most 
complete and extensive list of Hybrid Tea Roses 
in the business, having been the first house to call 
particular attention to their wonderful value. 
Ours is the greatest collection in this country. As 
the new varieties are introduced they are given a 
trial, and if found wanting in any respect are dis- 
carded and not offered to the Rose-growing public 
until they prove worthy. This excellent class 
combines the continuous-blooming quality of the 
Everblooming Teas and the sturdy strength of the 
Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants bloom the first 
year, like the Teas, bearing large, finely formed 
flowers of a wondrous range of color, with the fra- 
grance of the June Roses. They are especially 
valuable to Northern planters because they stand 
the severest winters with ordinary protection and, 
of course, luxuriantly in the South. In all sections 
they form magnificent bushes, bearing all summer 
great masses of most beautiful Roses imaginable. 
Unless a Hybrid Tea Rose bush is grown from the 
choicest two-eyed cutting—the Dingee method 
—it will not give satisfaction. All our stock is 
on its own roots—don’t buy the other kind, 
budded and grafted. We offer strong, lusty plants 
in all sizes and stake our reputation upon their 
quality.
