1850 Sixty-three Years 121^ \y 

 of Serving the Flower Loving PubUc 



Sixty-three years of experience in floriculture has taught us how to serve you best. 

 How to produce the best goods for the Amateur Grower. What kind of stock you 

 need to crown your efforts with success, in fact a lift time has been spent in producing 

 plants, bulbs, etc. for a select retail trade. We do not wholesale or are not in the cut 

 flower business, that is selling plants after they have been forced to death and then 

 sold as first class plants. 



Our motto in this lifetime in business has been an honest dollar's worth of good goods 

 for every dollar sent us. If you in the past have felt that you did not receive as good 

 stock as you should, tell us, if on the other hand they have been satisfactory tell others. 

 We are all human and will sometimes make mistakes, but when 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 guarantee the safe arrival of all goods whether sent by mail or express. You there- 

 fore run no risk in ordering. The goods offered in this book are the best that can be 

 produced. 



The name of "Dingee" is synonomus with Roses the world over, and almost a house- 

 hold word in every home of this fair land of ours. 



AVe 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. Very respectfully, 



THE DINGEE & CONARD CO. 

 The Leading and Oldest Rose Growers of America, West, Grove. Pa. 



Information for Customers 



How to Send Money Safely 



Our Terms are Ca.sh with Order. — Money 

 may be sent at our risk by Post Office Money 

 Order, Bank Draft, Express Money Order, 

 money (not stamps; in registered letter. 



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 

 the remittance is made by Money Order or 

 Bank Draft, a duplicate can be secured. 



Please do not Send Stamps for Money. — 

 They often come stuck together, making them 

 worthless. Silver in small sums, if carefully 

 wrapped, will carrj* just as safely, and is far 

 more acceptable. 



Canadian and Foreign Postagre Stamps will 

 be returned, as they have no value here. 



Canadian Customers. Canadian laws prohibit 

 sending dormant Roses or Shrubs into Canada 

 except from March 15 to May 15, and from 

 October 7 to December 7, through the follow- 

 ing custom ports, where they will be fumi- 

 gated: St. John, N. B.; St. Johns, Quebec, 

 Niagara Falls and Windsor, Ontario; Winnipeg, 

 Manitoba. All other goods, including our pot- 

 grown Roses grown under glass are admitted 

 at any time. Owing to the rate of postage 

 on Canadian orders we must request an addi- 

 tional twenty per cent 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 coun- 

 tries 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, prepav the

 ORDERING 



ocean charges and forward them. We pack 

 lightly and safely, and the charges, even to 

 the most distant points, are very reasonable. 



Our Guarantee is the best 'hat can be given 

 by any reputable firm, to deliver goods to you 

 in first class growing condition and failing 

 therein to replace them immediately and if 

 not satisfactory to so notify us at once and 

 any mistake or dissatisfaction will be adjusted. 

 Dingee Roses have given universal satisfaction 

 for over half a century. 



Parcel Post. All goods offered in this book, 

 except two year old Roses and Shrubbery are 

 at postpaid prices, and will be sent that wa\ 

 unless otherwise ordered or in our judgment 

 it would be best to send them by express pre- 

 paid. The new Parcel Post law does not 

 apply to plants, bulbs and seeds, but in- 

 creases the weight to 20 pounds, and we can 

 thus send your order by mail if you do not 

 have an express office. We however reserv«i 

 the right to send it the best and cheapest 

 method. 



Parcel Post C. O. D. If you desire your order, 

 no matter how small, sent C. O. D. by Parcel 

 Post we can do so. at an additional cost of 

 only the small fee for the money order which 

 is 3 cts. up to S2.50; 5 cts. up to $5.00, mak- 

 ing it much cheaper than by express, a^ you 

 have the express charges and additional chargt 

 for returning money. Thus if your order 

 amounts to $1.50 we will send it C. O. D. b> 

 Parcel Post if you desire and the amount col- 

 lected by the Post Master upon delivery would 

 be only $1.53. 



Premium Plants. We always do bettet 

 than we promise in the way of extra plants, 

 so when the order will at all afford it. we 

 add to it some plant or plants gratis, often 

 choice new kinds. Several of the Roses now 

 so eagerly sought after were first introduced 

 to our customers in this way — presented with 

 their order.
