Dingee Hardy Ever- 

 blooming Tea Roses 



Tea Foses form the foundation of nearly all the great Poses of to-day. Without them, 

 the lovely Hybrid Tea class would be impossible. They are among the oldest and most highly 

 cherished of all Poses. They have made the Pose-gardens of America what they are. Their 

 place and value is everlasting. Pugged, healthy and hardy in growth, free blooming (they 

 bloom all the time), their flowers are chaste and beautiful. You cannot well do without 

 them. They thrive gloriously in all sections of the country. 



Their ease of propagation has, unfortunately, caused them to be produced by some 

 growers in enormous quantities to meet a certain demand for "cheap Poses," and these 

 so-called cheap Poses have brought untold disappointment to all who have planted them, 

 and have discredited the business of every first-class Pose-dealer. Don't be misled into 

 buying these cheap, "one-eyed," "thum^b-pot" Pose-plants made to sell at "popular prices." 

 Plant good Roses, grown by a firm with a reputation to sustain. Pay a fair price for high- 

 class goods, with a guarantee back of them — the Dingee kind — and you will soon become a 

 Pose enthusiast in the true sense of the word, and a permanent Dingee patron. 



Ours is the greatest collection of own-root Roses in the world. This collection of hardy, 

 everblooming Tea Poses is the very life of our immense list. To the beginner — the novice 

 in Pose culture — the great number of varieties may be confusing, but to eliminate a single 

 one, however, would do a distinct injustice to the introducer and to our collection, for each 

 variety has its own particular charm and merit. If you find it difficult to make a choice, leave 

 the selection to us. We will send you the varieties we would want were we buying instead 

 of selling. You may safely rely upon full satisfaction, for that is guaranteed at all times by us.
