The Best Dingee Roses for Fall Planting 



BOTH FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR CULTURE 



E are the leading 

 , ,r, Rose - growers o f 

 r# America. Roses on 

 ^ their own roots is 

 ''A our specialty. We 

 C^J^A^i carry in stock near- 

 ly a thousand varieties. There 

 has been a large, unsatisfied de- 

 mand from planters, both North 

 and South, for the best varieties 

 of Roses suitable for autumn 

 planting outdoors. We propose 

 to satisfy that demand. The im- 

 portant point is plant early. Pro- 

 tect with evergreen boughs, 

 leaves and litter and then these 

 varieties will invariably go 

 through the winter safely. All 

 Roses offered in this book are 

 pot-grown and especially suited 

 for winter blooming indoors, 

 and have been specially selected 

 with that purpose in view. 



Their cultivation is extremely 

 simple. Indoors, plant in pots or 

 boxes, water freely, shade them 

 from the direct rays of the sun 

 with newspapers for a few days, 

 then give them as much light 

 and sunshine as possible. Out- 

 doors, give them good, fertile 

 soil, shade from the sun for a 

 few days, and, after the first 

 frost, protect with dead leaves, 

 straw or coarse manure. 



The first, or special size, are 

 extra-large plants, grown in 3- 

 and 31^-inch pots, and at prices the great charles dixgee Rost 



named will be sent by mail postpaid, or by express, leaving a portion of the soil around 

 the roots, prepaid, if your order amounts to $5 or more; if under that amount add 10 per 

 cent., and we will prepay express charges. The two-year-old plants are from 4^/^- and 

 5-inch pots. Two-year-old plants by express. 



The Truly Wonderful Rose, Charles Dingee 



THE ONE BEST ROSE IN CULTIVATION— SEE BACK COVER 



The almost unlimited resources of our great West Grove greenhouses have been 

 severely taxed to propagate enough plants of this remarkable Rose to meet the demand 

 for it, and even now we have not an over-supply. The unprecedented demand for this 

 remiarkable Rose was so great last spring that it almost exhausted our immense stock, 

 and we can offer only one-year and two-year plants at this time. Charles Dingee Rose 

 blooms continuously, producing immense, deep, double, grandly formed flowers on long, 

 stiff stems, the beauty of which is nothing short of superb. The color is a delicate blend- 

 ing of rose tints in the center, which gradually shade off into pale blush and creamy 

 white. Perfectly hardy in all localities, it is sure to become the most popular Rose of our 

 day, because it is the most beautiful, and for winter culture indoors, in pots or boxes, it 

 cannot be surpassed. It is never out of bloom. Strong, special-size plants, 30 cts. each, 4 

 for $1, $2.75 per doz.; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
