THE DINCEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



STANDARD LIST OF 



Gver-blooming Cea Roeea 



JIV OR nearly thirty years the Rose has been our specialty. In growing them so they could be sent safely by Mail to 

 ^■X, all parts of the United States, we are the pioneers. Our establishment has kept pace with the lapse of years, until 



to-day seventy greenhouses are required to meet the demand for the " D. & C." Roses. Both in number of varie- 

 ties and quality of stock we may fairly claim to be the leaders in our particular line. For want of space it is 

 impossible to describe in detail the vast number of varieties comprising our collection. On this and following page will be 

 found a large number of varieties of the ever-blooming class, briefly described. All of them are distinct, and because of the 

 brief description it is not to be inferred that they in any way lack merit. With the introduction of new varieties, it is our 

 policy to discard those that are synonymous or inferior to existing sorts of their class and color, whether they be old or new. 

 Our collection, therefore, contains none but the very best Roses in cultivation. We recommend those in this list to be 

 among the best of their class, all true to name, and for general cultivation, particularly in the open ground, they are sure to 

 give absolute satisfaction. The first or mailing size plants will give a profusion of bloom this year, and the only difference 

 between them and the two-year-old plants is the comparative yield of flowers. 



OUR METHOD OF GROWING 



Is deserving of special mention. We claim to produce the best Roses that it is possible to grow. No pots less than 2.% 

 inches in diameter are used and, indeed, a large proportion of our stock is repotted into 3-inch pots before they are sent out. 

 No discussion is needed to prove that such plants are far superior in every way to plants grown in the narrow confines of \% 

 and 2-inch pots. It would not be serving the best interests of our customers or ourselves for us to attempt to compete with 

 cheap Roses by employing cheap methods. We shall therefore continue to adhere to our life-time rule of growing the best 

 Roses at the lowest possible prices. When new methods that are as yet unknown shall have been discovered, whereby good 

 Roses can be grown cheaper than they now are, we assure our friends that we will be the first to give them the benefits of 

 lower prices.

selection for our customers than they themselves could make. Where
