86 years ago Charles Dingee established the Harmony Grove Nursery here. Soon after Mr. Dingee founded 

 this present company. We were the first in America to send roses by mail. Today we beheve Dingee Roses 

 to be the best and cheapest in price in America. The same family is carrying on. We assume if you are a 

 stranger to us that you want the best that money can buy. Here you will find it and our prices this year are 

 lower than they were last year. You take no risk in planting Dingee Roses. Please read the guarantee below. 

 Our reputation for fair dealing for more than 75 years is your guarantee of entire satisfaction. 



Dormant field grown Roses offered on pages 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 should be ordered early and planted early 

 just as soon as the ground can be dug. Our famous own root roses are offered on page 10 to page 22 inclusive. 

 They may be planted any time in the year; spring, summer and fall whenever it suits you and the ground 

 is not frozen. 



Come and see us. We are on route number 1 between Baltimore and Philadelphia. You are most cordially 

 invited and will be thrice welcome. The trip will make a pleasant outing but if you can't come your order 

 will have the same personal care and attention as if you were here in person.

 sider proper to plant such stock ordered if so directed. 



Canadian Customers — Canadian laws permit sending

The title of our catalog for 60 years has 

 been, "OUR NEW GUIDE TO ROSE CUL- 

 TURE. ' ' We are compelled to sound a warn- 

 ing that this title has been copied in part 

 by others, especially the word "GUIDE." 

 The reason is obvious and our friends will 

 not be confused. This is the original "NEW 

 GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE." and has 

 been issued annually under that title for 

 more than 60 years. Our friends will kindly 

 note this fact to avoid confusion. We as- 

 sume that they will want, as always, these 

 famous "Dingee Roses."
