THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



Three "Warrants. — We warrant the money to reach us (when sent according to direc- 

 tion). We warrant the plants to reach you in good condition ; and we warrant you pleased 

 with the quality of our plants, and our prompt and liberal deahng. Flower lovers every- 

 where are now obtaining the choicest Roses at the least possible cost. 



A Large Business in Roses.— We run fifty large glass-houses to their fullest capacity, 

 Winter and Summer, on ROSES ALONE. Ten tons of Guides are distributed to individual 

 addresses. Postage amounts to many thousands of dollars ; and during the busy season 

 letters and orders are received and dispatched by the thousand every day. 



Business Thoroughly Systematized.— The business is conducted by the proprietors in 

 person, who give it their whole time and attention. Every part of it is done in the most 

 thorough and systematic manner, so as to avoid error and insure perfect satisfaction to all 

 who deal with us. Our mails are delivered by the Post Master in Locked Sacks, and opened 

 under our personal supervision. Large Books of Record are kept, showing every order 

 received, the date of its receipt, the full address of the sender, the amount and form of 

 remittance, and when and how the goods were sent. Besides this the original orders are 

 carefully indexed and filed for reference, so that the complete history of every order re- 

 ceived can be correctly told in a few moments. 



Roses Shipped Every Day the Year Round. — We send Roses safely, whenever 

 they are wanted, planting is always in season in some part of the country, AND ORDERS 

 ARE RECEIVED AND PLANTS FORWARDED EVERY WORKING DAY IN THE 

 YEAR. 



Personal Friends.— All our customers are considered personal friends whom it is a 

 pleasure to serve faithfully, and our best exertions are always pledged to please them. Our 

 large business has all been made by strict and careful attention to the wants of customers, 

 and prompt, honest and liberal dealing to all. 



Thanks. — While extending a cordial greeting to new friends, we wish especially to fkank 

 the tens of thousands of old friends who have been our patrons for many years, whose gen- 

 erous support has enabled us to develop a New Industry, and whose kind appreciation of 

 our efforts to please has constantly cheered us on in the work. 



Questions. — When information is wanted please examine the Guide carefully under the 

 proper head before writing us, as most of the questions usually asked are there answered 

 more fully than they can be by mail in the hurry of business. We wish to oblige our friends, 

 however, and will cheerfully give any information in our power. 



The Guide Mailed Free. — The Guide is mailed free to all our customers without 

 request. It is also mailed free to every one who asks for it. Our customers can have the 

 Guide mailed free to friends by sending address with request, and when desired, we will 

 send GUIDES for distribution where they will do the most good. 



Please Hand to Friends. — In our mailing lists, from which we send out the New 

 Guide, it sometimes happens we have the same person under different names, or at different 

 post offices. We try to avoid duplicates, but if you should chance to get a Guide more than 

 yoic want, please hand to a friend interested in flowers; it is frequently a very welcome gift. 



Handsome Compensation. — Besides offering handsome compensation in the shape of 

 club terms, by which many persons get A SPLENDID COLLECTION OF ROSES FREE, 

 we diall be truly obliged by any effort you may kindly make in introducing our Beautiful 

 Roses to the notice of your friends and acquaintances. 



Very respectfully,
