Dingee Special Star Size Rose Plants 



(;k()«n in amkkk'.v for ASUIKICAN OAKDKNS. 



Each one a superb specimen now growing in pots 6 and 7 inches 

 in diameter. These mammoth plants will give immediate results 



We were the first Growers in America to produce, at 

 popular prices, the extra heavy, own root Rose bush. The 

 demand for these magnificent specimen plants made it 

 necessary that we provide especially for them. To that 

 end we built a mammoth greenhouse addition to our estab- 

 lishment where with special methods, specially prepared 

 soil, skill and care these beautiful plants are grown under 

 conditions not found elsewhere. Those who are not equip- 

 ped to meet the demand are offering foreign grown, budded 

 and grafted Roses as a substitute. There can be no com- 

 parison and buyers should beware of these so-called Star- 

 Size budded and grafted Roses for in a very short time 

 they go back to the source of their strength — the wild root 

 and you have a wild Rose of no value whatever. We pro- 

 vided for our customers" wants by the expenditure of 

 thousands of dollars in equipment and we are probably 

 today the only Growers in America, who are produc- 

 ing an own root Star Size Kose Bush in all the 

 leading varieties, now growing in pots 6 and 7 inches 

 in diameter, each plant carefully trimmed into shapely 

 size. In fact, each plant 

 is a specimen plant having 

 received individual care. 

 These plants will produce 

 magnificent and immediate 

 results. They can be plant- 

 ed safely anywhere in the 

 United States or Canada. 

 Hardy everywhere; slight 

 protection in cold climates 

 will not be amiss. 



REMEMBER we are the originators and for fiO years 

 we have been the leaders in the Rose plant business in 

 America and we are still leaders, in producing, at popular 

 prices, the best plants for American Rose Growers, grow- 

 ing them today where we started in business sixty-seven 

 years ago. 



WPLEASE NOTE^— with the exception of one other 

 concern this stock can not be had anywhere at any price. 

 These plants have the size and will produce immediate 

 results. Plants from 6 and 7-inch pots and the most im- 

 portant of all, the plants ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS, 

 and once planted will last a lifetime. 



FIN. ALLY — of necessity the stock is limited. We would 

 suggest that you order early and the stock will be reserved 

 for delivery whenever you want it.
