Summer Planting 



Many Rose Lovers have despaired of getting a start with Roses for various 

 reasons. The principal one we ha\ e found from many inquiries received is that 

 the season is too far advanced for Spring planting. So we have overcome 

 this by having the plants established in pots large enough for them to form 

 a mass of vigorous working roots just ready to plant any time and to con- 

 tinue growling and blooming after being planted in your yard. These plants 

 are sent you with the soil left on the roots just as they are taken from the 

 pots, as the illustrations on page two shows. You will notice how they are 

 wrapped for shipping, packed in damp moss and wrapped with wax paper, 

 insuring fresh condition on arrival. In fact we guarantee that they will reaeh 

 you in good growing condition. Plant Them Now — Any Time — It Suits You, 



SEVEN REASONS FOR PLANTING DINGEE 

 POT GROWN OWN ROOT ROSES 



1. June is the month of Roses and a good month to plant Roses. Also 

 July or August for the Famous Dingee Pot Grown Plants. Try Them! 



2. Our Roses are pot grown, in large pots or crocks and in full foliage, 

 and many of them in bloom when you receive them. 



3. Dormant Nursery Grown, budded Rose plants have neither foliage 

 on them, nor the multitude of strong, active, working roots that our plants 

 have. 



4. You must plant the Nursery Grown plant usually before April 15th 

 and you must wait for it to make roots before it can produce foliage or 

 flowers. Our plants have for months been making roots and foliage, strong 

 stems and vigorous growth in Nature's temperature growing in large pots. 



5. These Famous Dingee Pot Grown Roses are grown out in the sun- 

 light and the soil they are grown in comes to you in liberal quantities around 

 the roots. 



The name "Dingee" among rose growers has been the hall-mark for 

 superior roses for 75 years. 



6. Nursery Grown, dormant Roses, that must be planted before the 

 middle of April in the great bulk of the country, have been in cold storage 

 through the winter in the dark and in some cases kept in storage houses packed 

 with ice — a most unnatural manner to treat Rose plants. The purchaser 

 does not know this. Why buy such plants, with budded or wild roots, when 

 you can get these Famous Dingee Pot Grown Roses on their own roots, 

 in full vigorous growth ready for planting anywhere — north, south, east or 

 west, anytime that suits you during the growing season ? They are the best 

 Roses in the world for the amateur planter. 



Wild root nursery grown rose plants when winter killed, as they frequently 

 are, stay dead. Dingee own root roses go through the winter much better 

 and as long as any part of the root survives you still have a plant. That's 

 the advantage of own root pot grown rose plants like ours, over budded 

 dormant nursery grown wild root roses. 



7. A dormant, budded, wild root. Nursery Grown Rose must have some- 

 time, somewhere, the opportunity to develop new roots before you can have 

 a plant not to speak of flowers. No such risk with these Famous Dingee 

 Pot Grown Roses. We develop the roots, we put the plant in shape to produce 

 flowers immediately and that is what Roses are for — to produce flowers in 

 abundance for you.
