Established Sixty-three Years Ago 



DINGEE ROSES 



The Pioneer Rose Growers of America 



To Our Rose Loving Friends Everywhere 



MORE than Sixty Years ago— to be accurate 

 sixty-three years ago— this business was 

 founded by Charles Dingee. Located in 

 this beautiful little Pennsylvania town, West 

 Grove, its fame has spread to every nation of the 

 earth. The name "Dingee" in millions of homes 

 is synonymous with fragrant, blooming Roses. 

 These famous Rose growers, who produce these 

 wonderful Dingee Roses are known everywhere as 

 the "Dingee Experts." They have spent their en- 

 tire lives in this business. Their label on Roses 

 is equivalent to the sterling mark of the high- 

 class silversmith. Their deeds in this chosen field 

 of work is their monument. 



The up-building of this business to its present 

 magnitude has been accomplished through a re- 

 markably simple but time-honored principle — a 

 dollar's worth of goods for everj' dollar sent us; a 

 big, honest, wholesome guarantee back of every 

 plant that means just what it says — that is all and 

 that has built a great business; so let it be known 

 that, as time goes on, our adherence to the 

 founder's high standard of honorable and whole- 

 some business methods, is rigidly adhered to. 



Our old friends — and their names are legion — 

 need no assurance from us of business integrity, 

 but to our new friends that we meet this year for 

 the first time, let us say that no one can serve 

 them better or more economically or more sat- 

 isfactorily than we, and in saying this we do not 

 wish, in the slightest, to detract from the few 

 worthy and conscientious competitors in this busi- 

 ness, but we want them to know that in sending 

 an order to us that they take absolutely no risk 

 whatever. Seventy-five thousand (75,000) feet of 

 new glass — nearly two acres of mammoth glass 

 houses — have been built this year to meet the 

 enormous demand for these Wonderful Dingee 

 Roses. 



First and foremost, our Roses will grow for you. 

 On their own roots, not grafted on wild roses, like 

 nursery-grown roses, they are grown in large pots 

 for amateur planters — FOR YOU. Unlike the 

 wild root plants sold by nursery agents and de- 

 partment stores without a guarantee of any kind, 

 our stock is sent out with a guarantee back of it. 

 We do all the experimenting and take all the losses. 

 We send you plants that are vigorous, pot-grown 

 bushes, which cost us five times more to produce 

 than the dormant, leafless, wild root, nursery-grown 

 stock and we sell them at one-third the cost. We 

 take all the risk — you take none. We guarantee 

 that all goods must reach you in first-class condi- 

 tion, no matter where you live in the U. S. A. or 

 money back or goods duplicated, whichever you 

 prefer. We prepay express charges on all orders 

 of S5 and over to all points in the U. S. TMiat 

 could be fairer? If you want beautiful, fragrant 

 Roses and other flowers blooming in boundless 

 profusion this year, now is your opportunity. 



Simply follow the plain instructions given else- 

 where in this book and you will succeed. Not only 

 in Roses do we excel but in miscellaneous plants 

 of all kinds, practically every one that is worth 

 growing, including a complete line of the very 

 highest grade of flower and vegetable seeds. 



Sixty-three years of business integrity, dur- 

 ing which time we have served millions of rose 

 lovers in all parts of the universe, gives our as- 

 surance of efficient service considerable value. 

 Before laying this book aside, make up your order. 

 send it in to us as early as possible. We will re- 

 serve the goods for you or ship whenever you 

 direct, guaranteeing absolute satisfaction, honor- 

 able treatment and SI. 00 worth of goods for every 

 dollar sent us. Our word for it that you will be 

 satisfied in every particular.
