biNGEE SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS 



DINGEE EARLY BLOOMING TULIPS 



O have those flowers which, in this climate, are the glory of early spring, 

 preparation must be made in the fall by planting spring-blooming bulbs such 

 as are offered in this book. As has been our custom for many years — in 

 fact, we were the first house ever to offer them — our list this fall comprises 

 the very best of all kinds, grown for us by specialists in all parts of the 

 world, and offered here with the full knowledge that each bulb has stored up 

 in it untold pleasure for the grower. 



Good bulbs are not produced by chance any more than are the good Roses for which 

 the name of Dingee has been famous for over half a century. The same knowledge, care 

 and experience stand back of everything in the finest bulbs for fall planting offered in 

 the present book. Any bulb, every bulb, either for indoor or outdoor planting, ought to 

 be good. Cheap, poorly cured, undersized bulbs are dear at any price and should be 

 carefully avoided. 



DINGEE BULBS are good bulbs in the full meaning of the term. If you would 

 have success with your winter or spring bulbs this season, remember our reputation on 

 Roses and that we are able to give you equally good satisfaction in this other corner of 

 Flora's realm. 



For over sixty years, growing Roses on their own roots has been a specialty with 

 us. In this department we lead, both in quantity and quality. Dingee Roses are famous 

 the world over, and we exercise the same care, which has spread our fame, to all the 

 growing things listed in this book. 



The Truly Wonderful Rose, "Charles Dingee '^ 



The illustration on the fourth cover page shows the handsome form of the Rose we 

 consider the One Best Rose in cultivation. Its magnificent coloring is the despair of 

 artists, so exquisite is the blending of the beautiful sea-shell tints of its petals. No better 

 house-plant can be grown — it is as easy to grow as a geranium. No other Rose in our 

 list will give greater satisfaction as a house-plant. This remarkable Rose will be found 

 described on page 15.

 attractive inducements. The only requirements are that the club shall consist of the
