DINGEE BULBS 



The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring 



GOOD BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 



Good bulbs are not produced by chance, any more than are the good Roses for which Dingee has been 

 famous for over half a century. The same knowledge, care and experience stand back of everything in 



Good Bulbs for Fall Planting 



offered in the present Catalogue — imported from the best growers abroad or grown at home under our own 

 eyes. Any bulb, every bulb that a grower uses, either for indoor or outdoor planting, ought to be good. Cheap, 

 poorly cured, undersized bulbs are dear at any price and should be carefully avoided. 



Dingee Bulbs 



are good bulbs in the full meaning of the term. If you would have success with your winter or spring bulbs 

 this season, remember our reputation on Roses and that we are able to give you equally good satisfaction 

 in this other corner of Flora's realm. If you want the very best at reasonable prices, send for your fall and 

 winter bulbs and plants to 



Dingee, "West Grove 



The advent of the autumnal season, with its wealth of color, is anything but melancholy. The meadows 

 brown and sere are but the background for the indescribable tints of field and fen, tree and sky, and all remind 

 us that fall is the season for planting these fair harbingers of spring — the fragrant Hyacinths, the flaming 

 Tulips, Jonquils, Daffodils and scores of other bulbs which within their brown coats hold the mystery of the 

 gorgeous bloom which will ere long delight the eye and entrance the senses. If you are a stranger to the beauty 

 of the bulbous flowers for autumn planting, then we urge you to become acquainted with them. For brilliant 

 beauty of flower, ease of culture, quick and sure results, exquisite fragrance and striking colors, they are not 

 excelled by any other class. 



Dingee Roses and Other Plants 



While this Catalogue is primarily devoted to the sale of bulbs for fall planting, indoors and outdoors, we 

 also grow in our nurseries a complete list of hardy shrubs and vines suitable for fall planting in the open ground. 

 In our seventy greenhouses we grow a complete list of miscellaneous plants for house culture. A few of the 

 most seasonable are herein offered. 



For nearly sixty years, growing Roses on their own roots has been a specialty with us. In this department 

 we lead, both in quantity and quality. Dingee Roses are famous the world over. Our list is the most complete 

 in America, both in this line as well as in the hardy shrubs and miscellaneous plants for house culture. We 

 have well nigh everything here to satisfy the wants of the amateur flower-grower to whom we cater. 



Fifty-eight years has taught us how. 



We send goods safely to every nation of the earth and ffuarantee safe delivery everywhere in the United 

 States. 



We prepay all shipments except where noted. 



All mistakes cheerfully corrected. 



Our annual output aggregates one million, five hundred thousand plants. 



Send us your order. 



We guarantee to please you. 



We carry into practical effect our belief that a satisfied customer is our best advertisement. 



HO\^ TO ORDER, ETC. 



Our terms are cash with order, except when satisfactory bank reference is given, when we will gladly open 

 an account. Goods will be shipped C. O. D., when directed. Money may be sent at our risk by Post-Office 

 Money Order, Express Money Order, money (not stamps) in registered letter. We will be responsible for the 

 safe carriage of money sent us in any of these ways, and, if lost, will give full value. Please do not send stamps 

 unless absolutely necessary. They often come stuck together or stuck to the letter, so that they cannot be 

 taken out except by soaking the whole. Ten per cent extra should be added to orders going outside of the 

 United States of America or its colonial possessions, as well as Canada and Mexico, to pay extra cost of pack- 

 ing and postage. To all countries in the Universal Postal Union goods can be sent by mail. 



We always do better than we promise in the way of extra bulbs and plants, so that when the order will 

 at all afford it we add to it something gratis, often a choice or new kind. To induce our customers to make up 

 club orders among their friends, we make attractive inducements. The only requirements are that the club 

 shall consist of the complete addresses of five club names, including the clubber, and the order shall amount 

 to not less than SIO in cash. Write for our terms under these conditions. 



Should this Catalogue become mislaid and you are unable to remember the corporation name, simply 

 bear in mind Dingee, West Grove, Pa. — that will reach us. Dingee's establishment has made this village of 

 West Grove famous the world over. We have many imitators; — let us say here, however, that we have no 

 branch houses, either in West Grove or elsewhere, but are the old original West Grove Rose Establishment 

 founded here fifty-eight years ago by Charles Dingee, a portrait of whom, recently taken, is reproduced on the 

 last cover page of this book. 



Kindly send all orders, money and correspondence plainly addressed to 



THE DINGEE & CONARD CO. 



Established, 1850 The Pioneer Rose Growers of America 



Incorporated, 1871 West GfOVe, Pa., U.S.A. 



A SPECIAL WORD. — We invite your special attention to the fact that in this Catalogue, following the 

 lead of the last issues of our Guide to Rose Culture, we illustrate the best of our offerings with photo-engrav- 

 ings. In every case, therefore, our illustrations give an accurate idea of the appearance of the flower shown, 

 as they have been made from actual photographs. You can depend upon the pictxxres and descriptions in the 

 Dingee books, just as you can depend upon the quality of Dingee plants and bulbs.
