DINGEE'S ROSES ARE ALWAYS THE BEST 



^^^tis<^ 



HOW to grow the strongest and most vigorous Roses on their own roots has been a life- 

 long study with us. In growing them so they could be sent safely by mail to all parts of the 

 U. S., we are the pioneers. Impartial floriculture statistics give us the credit of devoting a 

 larger area of glass to the culture of Roses than any other concern m the U. S. In the number of 

 varieties, quantity and quality of stock, we may fairly claim to be the leaders in our particular line. 

 It would require a catalogue of tremendous proportions to describe in detail the vast number oi 

 varieties comprising our collection, therefore the varieties offered on this and the following page 

 are described briefly, but it must not be inferred that because of the lack of description that they 

 are in any way lacking in merit. It is our policy to discard those that are synonymous and inferior 

 to existing sorts of their class and color whether they be old or new. Many of the varieties offered 

 in this standard list are possessed of the highest -merit, and our friends will make no mistake in 

 giving them an extensive trial, ; 



We advise a liberal planting of one-year-old Roses ; they give surprising results ; the only\ 

 difference between them and two-year-old plants is the comparative yield of flowers. 



Our Method of Growing "DINGEE ROSES'" 



is deserving of special mention. We do not grow nor sell "little slips." We claim to produce th© 

 best Roses it is possible to grow, A large proportion of our one-year-old stock is sent out from 

 3-inch pots. We do not attempt to compete with cheap roses by employing cheap methods. 

 When new methods that are as yet unknown shall be discovered whereby good Roses can b© 

 grown cheaper than they are now we will be the first to give our friends the benefit of lower prices. 



Spokane, Washington, October 21, 1907. 

 Gentlemen — The Roses we got from you last Fall proved to be the best among our collection. They have bloomed 

 all summer and are still blooming. Every bush lived. Very truly, J. Frank Swartlev, 



IMPORT ANT* Owing to our knowledge of varieties, we can usually make a better selection for our customers than they 

 liTll yjl\ 1 r\il 1 themselves could make. Where the selection is left to us, we shall send the very best sorts, those that we 

 think will give the best results in the locality where they are to be planted. We shall be glad to know, however, if the purchaser has 

 any preference as to varieties, in which case the kind selected will, if possible, be included.
