We take great pleasure in handing each 

 one of our Friends and Customers a copy 

 of this, the Autumn Edition of OUR I>IEW 

 GUIDE. We trust it will satisfy all, and 

 be found overflowing with information, de- 

 scriptions, directions for successful culture, 

 and illustrations of Bulbs and other flower- 

 ing plants suitable for planting at this sea- 

 son ; outdoors for early Spring bloom, and 

 indoors for flowers to cheer the dreary Win- 

 ter time. 



Bulbs are Popular. 



Bulbs for planting at this season have 

 become a leading specialty in our business, 

 and of some varieties we retail more than 

 any other establishment in this country. 

 We recommend Bulbs as the most accom- 

 modating, easiest to grow, and surest to 

 bloom of all flowering plants ; with them 

 it is possible to have flowers every month 

 in the year. As a rule they are so long- 

 lived and reproduce themselves so rapidly 

 that they may be called the least expen- 

 sive of all flowHjrs. In our descriptions 

 we aim to give full information as to the 

 uses, habits, beauty and best way of grow- 

 ing each class offered, and we trust " BULB 

 FLOWERS " will find increased favor with 

 Flower Growers. 



In writing up our catalogues we invariably 

 wish for more space than a catalogue can 

 afford to devote to fuller information. We 

 are therefore glad to say this wish is more 

 than fulfilled in Success with Flowers, oiu- 

 Floral Monthly. As announced, hereafter, 

 in addition to the regular matter, the Au- 

 tumn numbers will make a special feature of 

 Bulbs, Plants and Seeds that should be 

 planted at this season. The subject will be 

 thoroughly and carefully treated from all 

 sides by the best Floral writers. We recom- 

 mend that all Flower people who are not 

 now subscribers begin their subscriptions 

 with the September number, so as to get the 

 full benefit of this subject. 



The Quality of our Bulbs. 



As for the quality of the Bulbs, Hardy 

 Plants, etc., we offer, we say simply //i<fy are 

 the best, and are offered postpaid to your 

 door at the right prices. What is best to 

 have foreign grown, we order and import 

 from the most reliable growers in Holland, 

 France, Germany, the East, China, Japan, 

 West Indies, etc., as the case may be, and 

 from experience we are justified in saying that 

 our importations are superior to most of 

 the stock now sent into this country from 

 abroad ; coupled with this, a thorough knowl- 

 edge of keeping stock that has made a voyage 

 in the proper condition until sold, and then 

 packing to carry safely, allows us 'io guarantee 

 safe arrival of all orders to any part of the 

 United States, satisfaction warranted. 



Respectfully soliciting your orders, and 

 cordially thanking you for your generous ap- 

 preciation, we are Faithfully Yours, 



THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY, West Grove, Pa.
