THE DINGER & CONARD COMPANY, WEST GROVE, PA. 



Dingee Pot-Grown Own-Root Roses 

 for Fall Planting 



A Two-Year-Old, Semi-Dormant, Pot-Grown Rose. 



For several years we have offered our customers pot- 

 grown, own-root Roses for Fall planting, and since 

 then thev have proven so satisfactory that we cannot 

 emphasize too strongly the advisability of Fall plant- 

 ing during the months of August, September, October 

 and, in the South and Southwest, November. 



We were the first in America to produce the Rose 

 plants suitable for this purpose. Since then the propo- 

 sition has been introduced generally, but we still 

 maintain the lead in both quality and quantity of 

 these famous Dingee pot-grown Rose bushes for im- 

 mediate 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. 



Our list is exceedingly complete and embraces all the 

 leading varieties of Roses. These plants have been 

 resting 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 conveni- 

 ence whilst field-grown plants are only good for plant- 

 ing 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 No- 

 vember, according to where you live, will become thor- 

 oughly established before cold weather, and you 

 thereby gain one year in growing and blooming ca- 

 pacity, 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 varie- 

 ties will invariably go through the winter safely.
