DINGEE'S ROSES ARE ALWAYS THE BEST 



SWEET PEAS 



Our offering of Sweet Peas for 1908 includes the choicest and most distinct new varieties, 

 togetlier with the best standard sorts in existence. It has been our aim to select from the 

 extremely large number of introductions made each year only those varieties which have 

 distinct merit, until our list includes the best of all varieties now in the market. Our list is 

 kept thoroughly revised, and sorts that we find do not come up to the requirements of 

 our customers are discarded and others substituted which have been carefully tested 

 and approved.
