Seventy-five Years Growing Roses 



We are sometimes apt to extol our virtues too often in writing 

 an introductory, so we only wish to assure each and every one 

 of our many customers and friends that the high quality of our 

 goods is being maintained, and to reprint here only a few of the 

 many complimentary letters received from old as well as new 

 customers, the past season which speak for themselves. Your 

 experience may be the same as these, there is no reason why it 

 should not, as we are better equipped today than ever to handle 

 your orders in the same careful manner. 



Our motto of this lifetime in a business has been an honest 

 dollar's worth of good goods for every dollar sent us. We are all 

 human and will sometimes make mistakes, butiwhen one is made 

 in filling your order, write us and we always endeavor to adjust 

 them to the best of our ability. No matter how large or small 

 your order is, it receives the same careful attention. 



We solicit your order because of the assurance that it will be 

 filled right. We have been, and expect to be, in business too 

 long to knowingly make of you a dissatisfied customer. 



The bulbs offered here are the first ones to bloom in the spring. 

 Even before the last drift of snow is gone the Crocus and 

 Daffodils raise their bright faces to herald the coming of spring. 

 Don't miss their pretty blooms. 



Very respectfully. 



The Dingee &. Conard Co. 



West Grove, Penna. 



The Leading and Oldest Rose Growers of America. 



Gentlemen: 



I am sending a small order for seed. Your Rose book has 

 given me much pleasure and I hope to send you an order for 

 Roses soon. 



I learned of your house from a friend at Avalon, Texas, who 

 grew many beautiful Roses, all bought from you. Her mother 

 before grew Dingee & Conard Roses. She had helped her mother 

 plant Roses fifty years ago — and they are still blooming. That 

 seemed impossible to me until I read your "Dingee Roses." 

 Very truly, 

 Mrs. Randolph C. Berry, Texas. 



Gentlemen: 



Please find enclosed money order for Roses, 1-year-old 

 growth, to be sent by parcel post with earth around the roots. 



Your Winnie Davis, Paul Neyron, Bride, Mrs. Robert Peary, 

 and others have bloomed for me more than fifteen years, and I 

 cannot estimate the admiration and pleasure they have given. 

 Sincerely, 



Annie Surghnor, Md. 



The Dingee & Conard Co., 



West Grove, Penna. 

 Gentlemen: 



I am very anxious to have a Charles Dingee Rose included 



in the Trial offer. I saw one of the most beautiful bouquets of 



Roses in our church last fall that I ever saw and as a lover of 



Roses I inquired the name and found it to be the Charles Dingee. 



Yours very truly, 



Mrs. Clyde Grove, Pa.

 be sent at our risk by Personal Check, Post Office Money 

 Order, Bank Draft, Express Money Order, money in registered 

 letter. Stamps, in small amounts only acceptable. 



LOST ORDERS. — After a reasonable time, if you do not 

 hear from your order, please write us again, giving a duplicate 

 of the order, stating when and by what method remittance was 

 made, and we will promptly investigate. If remittance is made 

 by money order or bank draft, a duplicate can be secured. 



USE ORDER BLANK.— We enclose with each book an order 

 blank, and we prefer that the order be written thereon. In 

 writing regarding an order always give former (if one) address. 



CANADIAN AND FOREIGN POSTAGE STAMPS will 

 be returned, as thev have no value here. 



CANADIAN CUSTOMERS. -Canadian laws permit send- 

 ing dormant or two-year-old Roses or Shrubs into Canada at 

 any time, but a permit must be secured from the Secretary of the 

 Destructive Insect and Pest Advisory Board, Department of 

 Agriculture, Ottawa. All other goods, including Roses grown 

 in pota 3 inches or less In diameter and under glass, are admit- 

 ted at any time. Owing to the rate of postage on Canadian orders 

 we must request an additional 20 percent to cover postage. 



FOREIGN ORDERS.— Twenty per cent extra should be 

 added to orders going outside of United States or its colonial 

 possessions, to pay extra cost of packing and postage. To 

 countries with which we have a parcels post, goods can be sent 

 by mail. They also can be sent by express, but the person 

 ordering must give the name and address of some one in New 

 York who will receive the goods, prepay the ocean charges, 

 and forward them. We pack lightly and safelv, and the charges, 

 even to the most distant points, are very reasonable. 



OUR GUARANTEE is the best that can be given by any 

 reputable firm, to deliver goods to you in good growing con- 

 dition, and failing therein, to replace them immediately and if 

 not satisfactory to so notify us at once, and any mistake or dis- 

 satisfaction will be adjusted. Dingee Roses have give: 1 , uni- 

 versal satisfaction for over half a century. But we give no 

 warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, pro- 

 ductiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, plants or bulbs 

 we send out and we will not be in any way responsible for the 

 crop, or do we guarantee that blooms will always be as des- 

 cribed. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these 

 terms they are at once to be returned. 



PARCEL POST. — All goods offered in this book, except 

 two-year-old Roses and Shrubbery, which are sent by express 

 at purchaser's expense, are at postpaid prices, and will be sent 

 that way unless otherwise ordered or in our judgment it would 

 be best to send them by express prepaid. Parcels weighing fifty 

 pounds can now be sent by Parcel Post. We, however, reserve 

 the right to send it the best and cheapest method. 



PARCEL POST C. O. C 



matter how small, sent C. O. 

 provided customers remit on 

 at an additional cost of 10 cei 

 order, which is 5 cents up t 



— If you desire your order, no 

 D. by Parcel Post, we can do so, 

 -half the amount with the order, 

 s and the small fee for the money 

 SO. 7 cents up to S5.00. making 



it much cheaper than by express, as you have the express charges 

 and additional charge of returning money. Thus if your order 

 amounts to SI. 50 we will send it C. O. D. by Parcel Post if you 

 desire, and the amount collected by the Postmaster upon 

 delivery would be only $1.65.
