EIGHTY YEARS 

 ^)F "DINGEE ROSES" 



1850-1930 



I In ISoO our present mammoth Rose business was oslahlishod, 

 il a small way, by (iharlcs Diiifjee, and is now in the <M^'hti(>lh 

 ear of its career. It is the pioneer Rose-growinj; inslitulion of 

 umerica. 



"Diiigee Roses" are known the world over as Ihe best. "Dingee" 

 'as the same significance among tlie "Queen of Flowers" as the 

 lerling mark on silver. Qualily and quantity have gone hand in 



I and from tlie modest beginning of eighty years ago. 



Out of our vast experience and large capital investment we have 



I lade it possible for the smalK^st home owner to have beautiful 

 loses in abundance at a trifling (;ost. We have taken the risk out 



< f Rose growing. Our phuits are healthy, well grown and sure to 

 1 loom abundantly everyivhere under ordinary conditions. After 

 : II that is what well grown Rose plants should do. That is the 

 I ^ason that you buy them. They should be a positive pleasure and 



ot a bunion. "Dingee Roses" are grown in Nature's own way and 

 bove all they are free from disease and ill health. 

 "Dingee Products" for this year are immense in quantity and 

 iclude practically everything our varied trade demands. We 

 ave Rose plants to suit every need — pot-grown for j)laiiliiig early 



< r late, whenever it suits best — field-grown, dormant, "l)('Lux(>" 

 •lants, magnificent stock for early spring planting; miscellaneous 

 lants of every kind — expertly grown and priced within the reach 



' f every purse. Of course, all are of the standard "Dingee" cjuality 

 -the best, regardless of price.

 on to our patrons.
