READ HOW OUR ROSES GROW 

 AND BLOOM FOR OTHERS 



ORCHIDS FROM OUR FRIENDS! Thousands of beautiful letters of praise for our 

 goods come from friends throughout the entire world. What makes them all the more 

 appreciated is that they are written to us voluntarily. It is most gratifying to have them 

 and it is the ''proof of the pudding." 86 years of continuous business life is your guarantoe 

 of perfect satisfaction and untold pleasure in planting ''Dingee Roses." 



Idaho — About 32 years ago this spring I ordered 

 several Rose bushes which lived and bloomed year 

 after year for the last 32 years, and still thrifty and 

 blooming notwithstanding they have been moved 

 several times from place to place as I always took 

 my Rose bushes when I moved. — Mrs. A. D., Cald- 

 well. 



North Carolina — Kindly send me your book on 

 Rose Culture. My father bought Roses of you 50 

 years ago. Some of them are still living at my old 

 home near Mt. OHve. — Mrs. A. J. B., Clinton. 



Indiana — I should be pleased to have your Rose 

 Guide. I recall distinctly that as a little child my 

 father used to buy his Roses from you and in the 

 yard are still to be found Gen. Jacqueminot, Paul 

 Neyron, Magna Charta, Ulrich Bruner and two or 

 three others whose names I do not remember. The 

 above mentioned plants are probably all of 50 years 

 old.— Miss H. S., Aurora. 



Michigan — -Ejndly send me your 1935 Rose Cata- 

 log. It might interest you to know that I ordered 

 Roses from you some 40 years ago and found them 

 very j&ne. Up in the cold North Dakota. — J, S. J., 

 Goodells. 



New York — Will you send me your Rose Catalog. 

 I bought fifty Roses of you 32 years ago. Today 

 there are thirty-six of them alive and in bloom in 

 splendid condition. I consider this quite a good 

 record. — C. W. M., New Baltimore. 



Kansas — I have growing and blooming in my 

 garden every summer three Roses which I bought 

 from you 50 years ago last summer. I do not remem- 

 ber the names. — Mrs. L. N. R., Morrill. 



HOW TO GROW DINGEE ROSES 



Dig the soil about 15 to 20 inches deep. Spade in 

 well rotted cow manure if possible. Use other manures 

 very careful. Bone Meal is good. Set the plants well 

 down into the soil. Water thoroughly to the bottom 

 of the roots when planted. Don't keep plants wet. 

 Water only when they need it. The best winter pro- 

 tection is to throw up plenty of earth around the 

 plants, putting straw or other coarse litter on top 

 and around the bushes. If you desire further informa- 

 tion write us enclosing a stamped envelope for reply 

 which will be cheerfully given. 



WHAT PRICE ROSE PLANTS? 



There are dififerent kinds of rose plants sold at all 

 kinds of prices. Department stores, hardware stores 

 even furniture stores may be found selling roses in the 

 spring of the year. In many cases rose plants are 

 sold that have been forced for cut flowers. They have 

 served their purpose but they are being passed on 

 now for further work at very low prices. It used to 

 be they were thrown on the dump. Sometimes these 

 plants will give very fair results, but they are not 

 the kind of plants that can be depended upon because 

 they are exhausted. They have been grown under 

 terrific pressure for the beautiful flowers they have 

 produced and the grower naturally keeps them as 

 long as there is any profit attached to them. 



We don't grow cut flowers. Our plants have all the 

 energy and root action stored up for your use and 

 pleasure. They are grown cold in the winter just 

 above freezing to give them a good rest and when 

 planted out in the spring will literally burst into 

 bloom. We prepare the root action which is the motor 

 of the plant and you are paying for that kind of 

 skilled preparation. If you want roses to which there 

 will be no headaches attached, that will give you 

 magnificent results if planted in ordinary good 

 garden soil, plant these Dingee pot grown own root 

 rose plants any time after heavy frosts are over — 

 plant them in June, July, August, if you want to even 

 in September. Plant them whenever it suits you. We 

 have them ready for planting every month in the 

 year that the ground is not frozen. They are specially 

 grown for amateurs and beginners.
