DINGEE'S ROSES ARE aLwAYS THE BEST 



Japan and other 





This ancient and aristocratic 

 family, with its long- line of 

 distinguished posterity, is so 

 well and favorably known 

 that descriptions are unne- 

 cessary, even were it possi- 

 ble for the pen or brush to 

 portray their almost savag-e 

 beauty. They are hardy and 

 of rapid and vig-orous growth, 

 and a bed of them, once 

 established, becomes a per- 

 manent fixture that will long 

 survive as a wondrous and 

 attractive feature of the 

 garden. They succeed best 

 If given a good light, dry 

 soil and a sheltered location 

 such as the proximity oi" 

 shrubbery or trees (if not 

 too large and dense), or 

 snug nooks, such as the 

 angles of buildings usually 

 afford. The bulbs should be 

 planted about 6 to 8 inches 

 deep. The varieties offered 

 below are among the finest 

 types, carefully selected with 

 reference to the demands for 

 general cultivation.

Mrs. L. H. Gray, Seattle, Washington, in a letter dated 

 October, 24th, 1907, says: "Aboutfour years ago I purchased 

 an Auratum Lily Bulb from you for 25 cents. Each August it 

 has been a joy ; this season it was a royal show, for it bore 

 eighty perfect blooms. If anyone has a better report from an 

 ordinary bulb I should like to know it. I enclose a poor photo- 

 graph of this handsome Lily. All the bulbs I have ever had 

 from you have been exceptionally fine."
