Dingee Roses — Where they Go and Grow 



«■ We have sent our Roses to every nook and corner of the universe. We say "our" Roses, 

 because in them we take almost childish pride. Just as the parent watches tenderly over the 

 child, so do we keep a jealous eye on the production of our skill. Night and day, with zeal- 

 ous care, we watch over them, and when they go forth with their youthful promise of 

 beauty and pleasure, we part from them with almost filial reverence, because their success in 

 life means much to us; and so it has been since the beginning. All has not been sunshine. 

 These children of Nature have not escaped adversities almost akin to human ills. The weakest 

 have sometimes developed into the strongest while the sturdiest have at times been the 

 objects of our most solicitous care. 



After all, the greatest pleasure is brought forcibly home to us in traveling in the 

 various sections of this country of ours, when strangers tell us in enthusiastic terms about 

 their success with Dingee Roses, — pleasure which brings with it the pride of deeds well 

 done, far beyond the mere mercenary consideration of having sold the Roses. In every county, 

 in every state of the Union, in the gardens of the rich, and in more modest homes, where, per- 

 haps, they are more favorably cherished; in the lonely compounds of the far West, in the most 

 remote parts of Europe, Asia, even in the Congo Free State, the missionary tells how Dingee 

 Roses have lightened darkest Africa; in the botanical gardens of Continental Europe — every- 

 where, Dingee Roses are to-day growing, and are a living monument to skill, perseverance 

 and enduring belief in American energy and the product thereof. As years go, our experi- 

 ence has been long. Our business has been our pleasure. If we have added in a small 

 way to the joy of living, if we have helped beautify our native land, then, indeed, do we feel. 

 apart from the commercial success of this business, that "Our Friends and Patrons" is not an 

 empty phrase.
