DI\GEE SPECIAL ^1R0N-CLAD COLLECTION' Of ROSES 



(See photographic reproduction in colors, second cover page. 



In order to increase the popularity which these Roses are so richly deserv'ing, we call par- 

 ticular attention to the beautiful color-plate illustration on the second cover page of this book 

 of four varieties typical of the class. These flowers are reproduced from actual photographs, 

 and, while the illustration gives an idea of their beauty, neither illustration nor words can 

 do justice to their desirability, immensity, richness of coloring and fragrance of their flow- 

 ers. Plant them freely. On their own roots, as they are, they last a lifetime. 



The varieties shown in the color plate are GLOIRE LYONNAISE, GENERAL JACQUE- 

 MINOT, PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN and PAUL NEYRON, described on page 52.

Partial View of Residence of Mr. Charles Dingee. Lawn sown with Dingea Lawn Grass Seed 



Dingee Special Lawn Grass Seed 



The best Lawn Cirass Mixture for general sowing, as proven by careful experiment and compari- 

 son. It produces a smooth, velvety green sward of attractive appearance. In preparing the ground 

 for seeding, break it 10 to 12 inches deep with plow or spade and pulverize thoroughly. The surface 

 should be raked perfectly level to prevent the formation of pools after hea\y rainfalls^ Sow the seed 

 carefully and evenlv at the rate of one quart to a space equal to 15 x 20 feet; two bushels will sow 

 one acre. After soM'ing, cover the seed by raking or harrowing it. Rolling is also in general practice. 



Seeding may be done at any time during spring, summer or fall, but the best results are obtained 

 by sowing during April, May, September or October. AMiere fall sowing is practised, a top-dressing 

 of manure is recommended to protect the roots of the young grass during the winter. In the spring. 

 the gross matter should be removed, leaving the surface clean. To renovate lawn, loosen the soil 

 on the bare spots with a steel rake, and, after sowing a liberal quantity of seed, roll or rake again 

 to cover the seed. 



Price: By mail, 35 cts. per pound; in bulk, by express, 25 cts. per pound, 20 pounds or more, 

 20 cts. per pound, or about $5.40 per measured bushel.
