Company 



Established 1850 



Ever since 1850, our beginning, we have pro- 

 duced millions of DINGEE OWN-ROOT POT- 

 GROWN ROSE BUSHES. We are Rose specialists. 

 That ours are the best rose bushes for the begin- 

 ner is proven beyond doubt, first, because we 

 would not continue to be as we are, the oldest rose 

 growing concern in America, and lastly, because 

 thousands upon thousands of unsolicited letters 

 come to us continuously from satisfied patrons all 

 over the world, telling us of their success. Truth, 

 genuine merit, the golden rule are still cardinal 

 virtues. Our long career in business is not an acci- 

 dent. Hundreds of firms have come and gone dur- 

 ing our lifetime in the third generation here on the 

 same spot, growing these great own-root roses. We 

 are going forward just as we did in the days wben 

 Lincoln and Douglas were holding their immortal 

 debates. Long experience and new equipment are 

 yours. Low prices naturally follow. 



Roses, at least our roses, are being planted more 

 and more every year because of their ease of cul- 

 ture, their certain success, the beauty and value 

 they add to one's home, and the joy they give to 

 all. 



Out of the abundance of our experience, we 

 know how to grow healthy roses. That is the im- 

 portant point for your consideration; without 

 health the way is not so easy. With these famous 

 Dingee pot-grown own-root rose bushes, failure is 

 practically impossible if you will but provide or- 

 dinary good garden soil, a sunny place, and follow 

 the simple instructions given in this book. The 

 idea that roses can't be grown by anybody, any- 

 where, is utterly foolish. The bulk of our roses go 

 into modest homes. Millions of people have suc- 

 ceeded with them and if you have any doubt about 

 having roses blooming in abundance, lay such 

 doubts aside and plant a few of these famous 

 Dingee pot-grown own-root roses. We promise to 

 make you a rose enthusiast for all time. 



This year prices are lower than heretofore, but 

 the quality is better than ever. No matter where 

 you live in the U. S. A., we guarantee satisfaction 

 and safe arrival of all shipments. Our integrity 

 and good name is your best guarantee. 



Plant DINGEE OWN-ROOT POT-GROWN ROSE 

 PLANTS, the best for the amateur and beginner, 

 for their health, permanency, and the genuine sat- 

 isfaction they give.
