DiNGEE Guide To Rose Culture 

 Dingee Flower and Vegetable Seeds 



Pure, Fresh and Reliable 



Ding-ee Se"^ds are of the same surpassing quality which is characteristic of Dingee Roses, Dingee Bulbs and 

 other Dingee offerings. Our stock is absolutely as good as it is possible to secure. Our prices are as low as 

 can be made on the quality of seeds we offer, with an honest margin of profit. We give liberal packets and 

 we prepay postage on all seeds by the packet, ounce, quarter-pound, pound, pint or quart, except where noted. 

 If seeds are sent by freight or express, deduct 10 cents for each quart from the mailing price. 



All seeds offered in this catalog^ue are 5 eents a packet, except where otherwise noted; 6 packets for 25 

 cents, 12 packets for 50 cents, 25 packets for $1.00. Full cultural directions are given with each packet. When 

 a packet of seeds is sold for 5 cents, it almost always contains 5 cents' worth of seed. When it is sold for 3 cents, 

 4 cents or 8 cents, you are practically certain to get just as much more or less seed, as compared w^ith the 

 5-cent package.
