Revolutionary changes in all walks of life 

 and in every business have occurred in the 

 past three years. 



Our specialty is pot-grown rose bushes on 

 their own roots. We are the pioneers in Am- 

 erica in this line. Long experience, vast equip- 

 ment, close personal supervision by the own- 

 ers of this business have enabled us, strange 

 as it may seem, to not only reduce prices prac- 

 tically one-half, but at the same time to do 

 what is hard to believe, and that is to in- 

 crease the high quality of the stock. On top 

 of all of, this, this year, WE PREPAY ALL 

 SHIPPING CHARGES. 



Certainly, this is revolutionary. Every dras- 

 tic change is absolutely in favor of our old 

 friends and customers. That's an example 

 which we point to with considerable pride. 

 During the period of inflated prosperity, vast 

 improvements in our equipment with large 

 sums of money expended, prepared us for 

 these days. That comes of long experience in 

 this business. 



No finer roses are grown and sold in Amer- 

 ica than those we now offer ajid we are proud 

 of the achievement. We look out upon the

future with confidence to the better da.ys to 

 come for everyone in this broad and beloved 

 land. We continue on in thankful humility to 

 Divine Providence, looking back over the 

 years through the Civil War, the innumerable 

 panics through which we have safely passed, 

 and we bring this message of high hope in 

 the future in no sordid way to our friends 

 everywhere who have made our continuity 

 possible. For all of this we are deeply grate- 

 ful.

 rose bushes grow everywhere, beautifully and

 world over. 



The title of our catalog for 60 years has 

 been, "OUR NEW GUIDE TO ROSE CUL- 

 TURE". We are compelled to sound a warn- 

 ing that this title has been copied in part by 

 others, especially the word "GUIDE". The 

 reason is obvious and our friends will not be 

 confused. This is the original "NEW GUIDE 

 TO ROSE CULTURE" and has been issued 

 annually under that title for more than 60 

 years. Our friends will kindly note this fact 

 to avoid confusion. We assume that they will 

 want, as always, these famous "Dingee Roses".
