Everblooming Tea Roses 



This class of Roses has proved itself better than any other for general planting, more especially in 

 open ground. Otit one-year plants, sent postpaid by mail, will bloom the first and each succeeding year, 

 from early spring tmtil s^v^ere frosts. Two-year-old plants will jdeld a greater profusion of flowers the first 

 year, of course, owing to their size, and are generally more satisfactory. The flowers of the Everblooming 

 Tea Roses are noted for their exquisite color and delightful fragrance. They are absolutely hardy in open 

 ground, with a protection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar material. We urge our friends 

 to plant liberally of these Roses, as even the one-year plants will give a harvest of bloom that will amply 

 compensate for the trifling outlay required to secure a collection of them. 



DINGEE ROSES THAT MADE WEST GROVE FAMOUS 



Sixty years of successful business dealings with the best and most discriminating Rose buyers of the 

 world affords ample testimony to the quality of plants which we supply. It is important to know that we 

 have not only the largest and most complete collection of Roses in America, but that we offer plants of 

 higher quality than can be secured elsewhere at the same prices. We know that our stock is better grown 

 than that of any other establishment and our customers have found success practically certain when 

 Dingee Roses are planted. We do not believe it possible to grow good Roses in a pot less than 2^ inches 

 in diameter. Many of our one-year-old plants are grown in 3-inch pots. It costs a great deal more to grow 

 such plants, but the experience of two generations in Rose-growing has taught us that what is good for our 

 •ustomers is good for us. The stock that we offer is immensely superior to that grown in 1^- and 2-inch 

 pots. Our stock is the best and our prices as low as is consistent with superior qualities. Our 1909 offerings 

 are the most complete and extensive in our history, and nowhere else can you find as complete and as 

 dependable stock to choose from.
