I 



Dear friend 



Spring 1925 



Sometime ago in response to a request 

 from you, we sent you a copy of Our New Guide 

 to Rose Culture, or catalog. Did you receive it? 

 If not we will be pleased to forward another 

 if desired. 



We notice that you have not sent us an 

 order for Roses or other plants, bulbs or seeds 

 and thought perhaps you were fearful of the 

 results. We are reproducing herewith a few testimonials from our cus- 

 tomers who have grown our plants successfully in the past and there is 

 no reason why you should not be successful also, so we have made up 

 collections of different sorts for convenient ordering. 



These Roses and other plants are kept 

 in pots, shipped to you without removing the soil in which they are 

 grown, or without disturbing the roots, so they keep right on growing. 

 You run no risk whatever, as they may be planted with absolute safety 

 anytime during the growing season, May and June . 



1850— SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS— 1925 



The Dingee & Conard Co., New York. 



West Grove, Penna. March 30, 1925. 



Gentlemen: — About the year 1874 I sent you from Dover 

 Plains, Dutchess Co., New York, a small mail order for a dollar 

 coiiection of your everblboming Hoses. 1 received them promptly 

 and was surprised at the way they started and kept developing. 



Since that date I have sent you numerous orders for small 

 amounts from Dover Plains and White Plains and have always 

 been pleased. 



Roses on their own roots as you propagate them are of 

 double value to Roses budded or grafted, is my opinion. 



I am 72 years old. Am now enclosing with this letter a 

 request for your Rose book for my grandchildren whom I wish 

 to interest in the most pleasant of recreations, viz.: — growing 

 your Roses for fun. Robert A. McGlasson. 



Dingee & Conard Co., Ohio. 



West Grove, Penna. March 15, 1925. 



Dear Sirs: — I had sent for your catalogue, and was much 

 pleased to see so many nice Roses you advertised "on own Roots" 

 mostly. I have lost all Roses I ever bought, which always go 

 wild and have to be dug up and thrown away. 



Thanks for catalogue. Mrs. J. P. Seifert.

West Grove. Penna. 



Dear Sirs: — I pure! 



and since that time hav 



came from your greenh< 



house would like to put

I find your Roses and 



Yours

 March 25, 1925. 

 ased Roses from your firm 45 years ago 

 ' always had some plants or Roses which 

 use, but having just moved to a different 

 >ut some more Roses. I haven't received 

 and would like you to send me a copy, 

 plants superior to any others. 

 sincerely, Mrs. Anna Safford. 



The Dingee & Conard Co., New York. 



West Grove, Penna. Feb. 27, 1925. 



Gentlemen: — Some 35 years ago in fitting up a home in 

 Geneva, N. Y_, we had some of your tea Roses which were cer= 

 tainly fine, so nice that any we have had since from dealers 

 nearer by have not approached them. Therefore, we are expecting 

 those on the order enclosed to "astonish the natives" in this 

 locality as they thrive in our little yard here. 



Trusting that our best hopes will be realized in this case, 

 I remain Yours very truly, 



F. E. Clark. 



The Dingee & Conard Co., N. C. 



West Grove, Penna. Feb. 7th, 1925. 



Gentlemen: — It may interest you to know that I have been 

 one of your satisfied customers for over 50 years. I now have 

 some Rose bushes ordered from you I guess fully 40 years ago. 

 Yours very truly, Mrs. Davis Jones. 



The Dingee & Conard Co., W. Va. 



West Grove, Penna. Feb. 20, 1925. 



Gentlemen: — Enclosed find order for plants and check for 

 same. I have been buying budded Roses for 20 years and find 

 they always have a tendency t6 make too much growth below 

 the buds and require a great deal of attention to keep them true. 

 Yours very truly, H. G. Emig. 



The Dingee & Conard Co., Missouri. 



West Grove, Penna. March 2, 1925. 



Gentlemen: — My last year's Roses I ordered from you did 



wonderfully. The blooms were simply beautiful. Some of 

 them grew as high as three feet, and all were first size Roses 

 when I bought from you. 



Yours very truly, Mrs. Anna Gross.
