“Tron-Clad Roses” 
DINGEE SPECIAL SIZE ROSES 
FOR IMMEDIATE EFFECT 
The demand each year for extra heavy, own root Roses of the leading kinds seems to increase, and in 
order to try and meet this demand we have built five mammoth greenhouses, each 250 feet in length, 
devoted entirely to growing these special size plants, each one in a 6- or 7-inch pot and grown on its own roots. 
Each one a specimen plant for those who desire Roses for immediate effect, grown by our special methods, 
in specially prepared soil, where they are given all the care and skill at our command, with the result that they 
are now plants that may be termed three-year-old, and unsurpassed for planting where quick results are desired. 
These Roses have been trimmed where necessary to form a shapely plant and range in height from 2 to 3 
feet, according to their growth. They are shipped with all the soil in which they have been growing left on 
the roots, wrapped in oil paper, and they reach you in prime growing condition. When planted they produce 
the same effect as if they had grown there. 
The stock of these Special Size Roses is limited and we reserve the right to fill your order with two-year-old 
plants if the stock of these Special Size Roses is exhausted and will send you other two-year-old Roses to make 
up the difference in price, or we will return the amount, whichever you prefer. Kindly advise us which you 
prefer when sending your order. 
Price of these Special Size Roses, on this and preceding page, from pots 6 and 7 inches in diameter, on own 
roots, except where noted, 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen, by express at purchaser’s expense. These Roses cannot 
be sent by Parcel Post. 
Under this heading we offer plants of different classes in extra-large plants, and only a brief description of 
each. Elsewhere in this book you will find a fuller description if desired by referring to the index pages. The 
Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses are neither as hardy as the Hybrid Perpetuals, nor do they make as large plants; but 
hardy with careful protection. The climbing Roses, especially Philadelphia Crimson Rambler, Tausendschon, 
Crimson Rambler, Leuchstern, Trier, etc., are hardy everywhere and we supply extra-heavy three- and four- 
year-old plants of all of them. The Cochet Roses are particularly fine.
