NEW GUIDE— ABRIDGED EDITION. 



SPECIAL INTRODUCTION OFFER OF THE 



Dingee & Conard Company's Famous Roses. 



To introduce our Roses to thousands of new customers, to gratify thousands of old friends who wish some of the finest 

 Roses, to help planters who do not succeed as they would like, to encourage lovers of Roses who fear they cannot grow really 

 fine ones, and to advertise our Roses, we make for the first time this unsurpassed offer — a collection of Ever-blooming Tea 

 Roses, that combine the loveliest types of the Tea Rose family with vigorous, healthy growth under ordinary conditions. The past 

 season we grew quite an area of the varieties included in this collection in the open field under the same conditions as a farm 

 crop ; the result was highly satisfactory; the plants grew sturdy and healthy, retaining full foliage even after severe storms, and 

 the flowers were produced in great abundance and perfection from early Summer till checked by severe frost, November loth. 

 The above illustration was made from a handful of flowers gathered in August, representing each variety. This collection of 

 Roses is for everybody far and wide, and we recommend the varieties included as equal to the finest Roses. You should order 

 it even if you wish nothing else this season. Sent postpaid, to any post-office, for only 50 cents. Safe arrival guaranteed. 



PLEASE NOTICE. — The Roses offered in this collection are classified and offered at regular retail prices under heads 

 of " New Roses, introduced in 1891," and "Ever-blooming' Tea Roses," at the collection price of 50 cents here 

 offered; the collection cannot be changed or altered for any reason.
