DiMGEE Guide To Rose Culture "^Pl9io 



Dingee Chrysanthemums 



Since the introduction of these lovely autumn-flowering plants into Europe, some two hundred years" ago, 

 they have been developed to a wonderful extent. Those who have in mind the small, old garden varieties, cannot 

 imagine the exquisite beauty of the newer sorts. They produce enormous, massive flowers of most beautiful colors 

 and perfect shape. Their culture is the easiest. If grown in the house, first put them into pots 3 to 4 inches in diam- 

 eter, re-planting them as they make growth into larger pots or boxes, 6 and 7 inches in diameter. Use good, rich 

 dirt and water frequently and thoroughly. If grown in the open ground, they should be planted in a sheltered situa- 

 tion to protect them from early frosts. Further detailed information as to the method employed in forcing them 

 for single flowers or for exhibition purposes will be furnished upon application. 



Our collection contains the best and most beautiful of the newer varieties as well as the choicest of the standard 

 sorts. We offer them at prices within the reach of all as we would like to see them growing in every garden, and in 

 every home.
