1 4 THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY S 



dweller in this broad land can now have Roses at his door. Our packages are 

 streaming through the mails every day in the year — spring, summer, autumn 

 and winter — bringing gladness and pleasure to tens of thousands of flower 

 lovers in all parts of the country. 



Size and Quality of Plants.— The Roses we send are fine strong healthy 

 plants — grown in pots. They are from 8 to 12 inches high, and where the sea- 

 son is sufficiently advanced, are suitable for planting at once in open ground, 

 or they can be nicely grown in the house, in pots or boxes. Many of them are 

 now in bud, and will quickly come into full bloom. They are all in the best 

 possible condition to bear transportation and re-planting. 



Packing. — We pack nicely in light wooden boxes, with plenty of live moss 

 filling. In this way they are sent safely to all parts of the United States, 

 Canada, Mexico, England, and even the Sandwich Islands. 



Printed Labels. — We label each variety with 2. printed wooden label; this 

 is a great improvement on the old plan of writing the names, as they are much 

 easier to read, and more durable. 



Testimony of Correspondents. — We have thousands of pleasant letters, 

 attesting the excellence of the plants sent, as well as the marvelously perfect 

 condition in which they are received, from kind correspondents in Texas, New 

 Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington Territory, Idaho, Utah and Colorado, 

 as well as from all the older States and Territories in the Union, also from 

 Canada, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and the West India Islands. 



Safe Delivery Guaranteed. — We guarantee the plants to reach the pur- 

 chaser in good order. In case of any accident by which they are injured, we 

 request information to be forwarded immediately, so that they may be replaced 

 at once. Uncle Sam is usually prompt and careful, but accidents do sometimes 

 occur. 



Remittances Guaranteed. — When money is sent us by postal order, 

 REGISTERED LETTER, or BANK DRAFT, we guarantee its safe arrival in all cases, 

 and present a fine Premium Rose — purchaser's choice — (in addition to all other 

 premiums) to offset the cost of the same. 



Postage Paid. — At the prices named we prepay all United States postage, 

 and deliver the plants free at every post-office in the land. 



Safety. — We aim to make it as safe and, in every way, as satisfactory to 

 order Roses by mail as it would be to purchase them of us, if you were here 

 on our own grounds. 



Prices. — The prices named are for purchasers' choice of varieties, each one 

 labeled, and are exceedingly low for the quality of our plants. 



Purchasers' Choice of Varieties. — We have on hand at all times an 

 enormous stock to select from, and endeavor to grow all the varieties named 

 in quantity sufficient to furnish exactly what is ordered. We offer our whole 

 stock without reserve, and rarely have to make any changes in purchasers" 

 selections. 



Weight of Mail Packages. — The weight of packages that can be sent by 

 mail is limited to four pounds, and though this will admit quite a number of 

 fine Roses, larger orders are frequently wanted. When such is the case, we 

 can make up in small packages and send by mail, or ship the whole by express, 

 as may be desired.
