Dingee Pot-Grown Own-Root Roses 

 For Fall Planting 



For several years we have offered our customers 

 not-grown, own-root Roses for Fall planting and 

 we canno x, emphasize too strongly the advisability 

 of Fall planting during tho months of August, Sep- 

 tember, October and, in the South and Southwest, 

 November. 



We were the first in America to produce the Roso 

 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 Following Pages 



have been specially prepared for Autumn planting 

 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. 



Mme, Butterfly 



Our list is exceedingly complete and embraces all 

 the leading varieties of Rosos. These plants have 

 been resting all summor and are now growing in 

 large pots and may be planted anywhere in the 

 United States with entire safety. One great ad- 

 vantage 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, Oc- 

 tober 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 these varieties will invari- 

 ably go through the winter safely. 



Mme. Butterfly 



Hybrid Tea. All the color tones of Ophelia 

 are intensified, making it a harmony of 

 bright pink, apricot and gold. Ophelia 

 ranks at the top in popularity and Ma- 

 dame Butterfly will surpass it. It 

 averages more petals to the bloom; it 

 produces more bloom to the plant because 

 it makes more branches, everyone carry- 

 ing a bud. The tight buds are a lovely 

 shade of Indian oak, yellow at the base; 

 the opening flowers are perfect in form 

 and texture, clear and brilliant in color 

 and of delicious fragrance. Price, first 

 size plant, 35 cts. each; 3 for $1.00 

 postpaid; two-year-old plants, $1.00 

 each, by express collect, $1.10 parcel 

 post prepaid, with soil on roots.
