o our 



Patrons and Friends : 



In presenting this, the Autumn edition of Our New Guide, we do so with 

 a feeling of pardonable pride. Carefully revised and truthfully illustrated, it is 

 beyond question the most attractive and useful Fall Catalogue we have ever sent 

 out. In preparing it, we were ever conscious of the fact that the persons to whom 

 it would be sent were in the most part those who had sent to us their orders of 

 previous years. This gratifying evidence that our efforts to please all met with 

 generous appreciation, makes it imperatively necessary, when soliciting a con- 

 tinuance of this patronage, to provide the best home-grown stock and choicest 

 goods that can be had abroad. This we have done, and we feel safe in saying 

 that the goods we shall send to our customers cannot be excelled. We do not 

 claim that ours are the ONLY first-class goods to be had. Doubtlessly there are 

 others just as good. For more than a quarter of a century large capital, inde- 

 fatigable labor and all our best energies have been invested in the work of creating the well- 

 earned reputation — which we think we have, and are justly proud of— for honest dealing. We 

 believe that the BEST is none too good for our customers. We cannot, therefore, afford to lower 

 this high standard, hence we say the stock we have to offer cannot be excelled. 



Undoubtedly all of us are more appreciative of flowers during the Fall and Winter than any 

 other period of the year. The Winter-blooming bulbs and plants — more especially in the latter 

 the Otaheite Orange, which is illustrated on the front cover — are easy to grow successfully, and 

 their pretty flowers and cheerful foliage serve to brighten up the gloom of the dark Winter days, 

 and we consider them to be almost indispensable. 



Every one should grow a few Winter-blooming flowers at least, and whether your orders be 

 large or small we shall feel grateful to receive them, and can assure all they will have the best 

 attention in detail. 



Thanking you for the generous patronage extended, and soliciting your valued orders, 

 we remain, 



Very truly yours, 



The Dingee & Conard Co.,
