This is, beyond question, one of the most satisfactory plants for pot culture in our col- lection. It is a dwarf reproduction of the genuine fruit-bearing Orange tree, the flower being identical. It flowers and fruits in pots, is exceedingly floriferous, -blooming almost con- tinuously. The fragrance of the flowers is simply delicious, and with one or two plants one can have a generous supply of highly prized and much coveted Orange blossoms. It fruits immediately after flowering; the fruit measures about three inches in diameter, and while not so strongly flavored as an ordinary Orange, it is quite edible, the difference being but slight. On a single plant, twenty inches high, one hundred and sixty-four buds have been counted. Strong potted plants.

Our First Size Hyacinths
Our Hyacinth Bulbs are the very cream of the stock grown by our specialists in Holland, and are guaranteed to be large, solid, healthy bulbs, which will be sure te bloom profusely for your next spring and fill your garden with a foretaste of the glory of the coming summer. The varieties here listed are the very best of all the long list produced in Holland, selected with scrupulous care with the desire to offer our friends the very best of their kind.
Indoor Culture. Plant in pots or boxes, using or- dinary garden soil, any time from September to February. Plant about two inches. deep. Water thoroughly and put away in a dark, cool place until signs of growth commence, then bring into the light and heat. For holiday blooming, pot early in Sep- tember, and for a succession of bloom, plant at in- tervals of about two weeks. To grow in water, place the bulbs in glasses and fill with clean water; leave them in a dark, cool place until the glass is well filled with roots, then bring to light.
Open-Ground Culture. Select a warm, sunny loca- tion. Ordinary garden soil, enriched with well-rotted stable manure, spaded to a depth of 12 inches, will suffice. Plant the bulbs 5 inches deep and 6 or 7 inches apart. Set out any time from September until severe freezing weather. While not required, it is better to give winter protection—before the ground freezes, cover the beds with material such as leaves, straw, pine branches, etc., to a depth of four inches. Do not uncover too early in the spring.

Dingee Surpassing Quality Tulips
The dazzling beauty of the Tulip family is so well known that it is hardly necessary to further extoll
its merits here.
The brilliancy of colors when arranged
in masses in the garden, on the lawn or grown
indoors in pots or boxes, makes the Tulip an object of striking beauty; indeed, for wealth of bizarre color
effects, it even surpasses the hyacinth.
Plant plenty of them—they are so
inexpensive; in early spring,
almost before the last snows of winter are gone, the gorgeous colors of their flowers will add a wonderful
air of cheerfulness -to your home surroundings, be planted about 4 inches deep and 4 inches apart.
They are entirely hardy in the open ground, and should For indoor culture plant them 3 inches deep.
Pot them and set away in a dark, cold place for three weeks or more, then bring to the light and treat
same as other plants.
Like all Dingee bulbs, our offerings in Tulips are the best,

Daffodils of Spring
HE Narcissus is
most desirable for house or garden cul- ture, and should be treated in the same manner recommended for the Hyacinth. Three or four bulbs may be grown in a single pot. In the garden they may be planted in any out-of- the-way place, where they will continue to thrive and bloom year after year with- out any care or attention, and will be among the first to respond to the fitful plandishments of early spring. The family is an extensive one and remarkable for its novel diversity of types and colors, in the selection of which our efforts have been to secure the finest specimens. Our bulbs are grown for us by our own special grower on the Isle of Gurnsey; they are the best. First Quality Bulbs, sure to bloom. Prices include postage.

Dingee Pot-Grown Own-Root Roses
for Fall Planting
A Two-Year-Old, Semi-Dormant, Pot-Grown Rose.
For several years we have offered our customers pot- grown, own-root Roses for Fall planting, and since then they have proven so satisfactory that we cannot emphasize too strongly the advisability of Fall plant- ing during the months of August, September, October and, in the South and Southwest, November.
We were the first in America to produce the Rose plants suitable for this purpose. Since then the propo- sition has been introduced generally, but we still maintain the lead in both quality and quantity of these famous Dingee pot-grown Rose bushes for im- mediate planting.
The Two-Year-Old Roses Offered on the Following Pages
have been specially prepared for Autumn planting and are shipped by express, leaving the soil in which they have been growing on their roots, and the change does not check their growth in any way.
Our list is exceedingly complete and embraces all the leading varieties of Roses. These plants have been resting all summer and are now growing in large pots and may be planted anywhere in the United States with entire safety. One great advantage they have over field-grown Roses is that they have been grown in pots or crocks and may be transplanted at your conveni- ence whilst field-grown plants are only good for plant- ing late in the Fall, after they have become dormant, which gives them no chance in the average locality to be shipped and planted in time to become established before Winter sets in. Our famous Dingee pot-grown Roses, planted in August, September, October and No- vember, according to where you live, will become thor- oughly established before cold weather, and you thereby gain one year in growing and blooming. ca- pacity, and you will thus have an abundance of bloom next Spring.
The chief reason that we are able to prepare such a low cost of this splendid assortment of Roses is our growing equipment, which is now the foremost in America.
The important point is plant early. Protect with evergreen boughs, straw or litter, and then these varie- ties will invariably go through the winter safely.

Dingee Famous Hybrid Tea Roses
The Most Desirable of All
For many years we have had by far the most complete and extensive list of Hybrid Tea Roses in the business, having been the first house to call particular attention to their wonderful value. Ours is the greatest collection in this country. As the new varieties are introduced they are given a trial, and if found wanting in any respect are discarded and not offered to the Rose- growing public until they prove worthy. This excellent class combines the continu- ous-blooming quality of the Everblooming Teas and the sturdy strength of the Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants bloom the first year, like the Teas, bearing large, finely formed flowers of a wondrous range of color, with the fragrance of the June Roses. They are especially valuable to Northern planters because they stand the severest winters with ordinary protection and, of course, luxuriantly in the South. In all sections they form magnificent bushes, bearing all summer great masses of most beautiful Roses imaginable. Unless a Hybrid Tea Rose bush is grown from the choicest two- eyed cutting—the Dingee method—it will not give satisfaction, All our stock is on its own roots—don’t buy the other kind, budded and grafted. We offer strong, lusty plants in all sizes and stake our reputation upon their quality.
Premier
Never in our years of Rose growing have we been so impressed with any Rose as we have with this one, in size, growth, sturdiness, health, fragrance and color. The blooms are immense, often measuring 5 and 6 inches across the open flower, buds long, full and pointed. Growth remarkable, being strong and sturdy, each bloom borne on heayy canes, almost thornless and 4 and 5 feet long. Foliage dark glossy green, free from disease or insects. Color is deep rose pink, without shadings and retains its color in the open flower. Highly fragrant. Price, own root plants, first size, 50c. each; 3 for $1.25; two-year-old plants, $1.25 each, by express. Stock limited,

Color buff, shaded orange, yellow, outside of petals pearly peach, free blooming and very vigorous grower. A very unique bloom.
MRS. HENRY WINNETT.—Remarkably strong grower, producing strong shoot, each one crowned with a magnificent bloom, well above the foliage, excellent for forcing and equally as good for outdoor growth, being extremely hardy. Foliage fine dark green and free from insects and disease. Color a bright shade of crimson, not quite as dark as Hadley, but not as light as Richmond, a color that has proven to be very popular, and we consider it one of the best crimson varieties. Buds long and well formed.
MRS. HUGH DICKSON.—A Rose suitable for any purpose, delightfully perfumed, producing its large flowers in great profusion. The petals are large and of excellent substance, and the flowers of superb build, with high-pointed centers, with a beautiful Outline. Color, a deep cream, with heavy profusion of orange and apricot.

Almost thornless. Wonderful strong shoots four feet or more in length, each producing a magnificent bloom, often measuring six inches across the open flower.

After a thorough trial we heartily recommend it as a great outdoor Rose. Hardy as an oak, thrives in any location, strong grower and soon makes a great display. One of the most exquisite Roses for cutting we have ever seen; produces handsome buds, on long, stiff stems well above the foliage. Foliage is a dark green and does not seem to be affected with disease or troubled with insects; on account of its strong growth, it seems to be able to ward off, thus making it one of the most popular outdoor Roses. Don’t fail to include one at least in your order; you will never regret it.

The Best for Winter Blooming
While not so hardy as the Hybrid Teas or Hybrid Perpetuals, yet with protection they will live through the winters in almost all sections of the country, except in the ex- treme North. In the South they are unex- celled, whether planted in the open ground or used for pot culture. The fact that one- year-old plants produce a profusion of flow- ers makes them indispensable to every Rose-lover. For Fall planting out door se- cure them early.

Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses
Hardy Climbing Roses have the popular call. They have become an absolute necessity for beautifying the home, for training over porches, verandas, trellises and pergolas, and they make most beautiful flowering hedges when trained on low supports. All the Climbing Roses in our | unequalled list are on their own roots—a most vital point in a Climbing Rose. Some are absolutely hardy in the coldest parts of the country, while others, growing luxuriantly in the middle and southern sections, require some slight protection in the north. Fall planting is particularly recommended for this class of Rose, as they make much better growth the following season than if planted in the spring. They are pot-grown and in the right condition. Order early and give them a chance to | establish.

Gloire Lyonnaise Brilliant White Rose
Great Roses are made all the greater by the pub- licity given them. Frequently a variety of more than ordinary worth is allowed to “‘waste its sweetness on the desert air’? because the public is unacquaiuted with its merits. This is especially true of this great variety. Makes strong, upright bush, with beautiful deep green foliage; practically thornless. While a Hybrid Perpetual, yet like the Hybrid Tea Roses, bears in greatest profusion large, pointed buds and massive fiowers on long, stiff, heavy shoots; the open flower is enormous, full, deep and double. Rich creamy-white, passing, when open, to a pale shade of salmon-yellow, deepest at the center. Absolutely hardy everywhere. Prince Camille de Rohan—Celebrated the world over
for its large, handsome, fragrant flowers, and the
freedom with which they are produced. ‘The color is a deep, rich velvety crimson, passing to intense maroon, shaded black.
Vick’s Caprice—Flowers large and slightly cup-shaped, but full and deep; petals thick and lasting, having the ground color clear, satiny pink, distinctly striped and dashed with white and bright carmine. Blooms freely at short intervals during the whole season.
Marshall P. Wilder—Flowers large, semi-globular, full and of good substance; bright scarlet-crimson, richly shaded with maroon.
Louis Van Houtte—Brilliant vinous crimson; large, full and fragrant; an excellent sort and one that we recommend most highly.
Mad. Alfred Carriere—Extra large, full flowers; very double and sweet; rich, creamy-white faintly tinged with pale yellow.

Dingee Famous Hardy June Roses
There is little question that Hybrid Per- petual Roses, or “June Roses,’’ as they are sometimes called, are the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are of vigorous, upright growth, have large, bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 to 6 inches in diam- eter, and are deliciously fragrant. These Roses will succeed in any locality and are so hardy that they will live through the severest winters with but a light protection of leaves or coarse manure. Some of the kinds do not bloom until the second year, but, when fully established, they all bloom freely at the usual time, early in the sea- son. The Hybrid Perpetuals will stand hardship and neglect, but give much better results with good cultivation and rich soil. Always plant in open ground, as_ these Roses are not suitable for house culture. Our collection of Hybrid Perpetuals is by far the best in the country. The plants we send out are strong and hearty and on own roots. Fall is the most suitable time for planting these. Prices of all
Roses in this section, except where noted: First-size, 30 cts. each: 4 for $1.00. Two-year-old plants, 85 ets. each: $8.50 doz. by express collect; 90 cts. each by parcel post, prepaid, with soil on roots.

Dingee Winter-Blooming
Carnations
As a fall and winter-blooming plant for house culture we recommend the Carnation as one of the very best. It is as easily grown as a Geranium and equally satis- factory. You know how high-priced Carnation blooms are during the winter. Don’t buy them—grow them yourself. You can have an abundance of flowers at a trifling cost. Follow these directions and you will succeed. Plant in good soil, give plenty of water and drain well. Let the plant be cool at night: this is an important requirement. A 40 degree to 50 degree tem- perature is about right. Keep the dead foliage picked off. We offer extra-large, field-grown plants; they will bloom continually throughout the winter. Fine plants can be sent by mail; it is best, however, to send them by express when possible, as they arrive in much better condition.
New Varieties
Alma Ward. New white variegated; large and fragrant. Aviator. The best standard crimson on the market. Mrs. C. W. Ward. Deep pink.

Winter-Blooming Carnation.
Amaryllis Vittata Hybrids
By careful selection from the best and most expensive varieties we have produced a mag- nificent strain of the wonderful, showy flow- ers. They will produce from 3 to 4 flower stalks, each one bearing blooms from 5 to 9 inches in diameter with broad overlapping petals, circular in outline, and of every color and marking known in Amaryllis, among them being pure white penciled carmine or bright rose; white clouded and veined with red; crimson rayed and bordered with white; bright orange scarlet selfs; deep rose; deep crimson or blood red selfs shading into velvety black in the center; many of them having in the sunlight the appearance of being sprinkled with gold and silver dust.
Price, good sound bulbs sure to bloom, 21% to 34% ifaches in diam., 90 cts. each, postpaid.
Of all the house plants and flowers intended to cheer up the cold, dull days of winter in the home, none will do it with greater success than our new, magnificent Amaryllis. Words are inadequate to describe its wondrous form and color, and we can give but a feeble idea of the joy coming to our many friends who will plant this wonderful flower this fall.
Plant the bulb in good, rich, fibrous soil and sand in a pot not much larger than the bulb, or three bulbs in a 12-inch pot. Let the top of the bulb be about level with the soil, which should not come closer than one inch to the top of the pot. During the bloom- ing season water freely and give an occasional application of weak liquid manure. After the bulb is done flowering withhold water grad- ually, and allow the bulb to rest.

Use a soil composed of five parts; parts of good garden soil, two parts of finely screened peat or leaf mold from the woods, and one part sharp, clean sand. This should then be thoroughly sterilized by putting in an oven and baking in order to destroy earth worms, ete. Place some broken pieces of pots or ecrocks and some charcoal in the bottom of each pot for drainage. A temperature of not less than 55 degrees F. should be maintained

at all times, with a rise in the day- time of 10 degrees to 15 degrees. Judgment should be exercised in watering. On warm
days they should be syringed at least twice. Never allow them to become too dry. Insects which are most troublesome are thrips, red spider, scale and mealy bug. Thrips, red spider and mealy bug

and on this account it is frequently called the Fountain Fern. WHITMANII (Ostrich Plume Fern).—More of a dwarf
habit than the Boston Fern. The fronds are of en- tirely different nature. Each frond is subdivided on the order of the Compacta Fern, thus producing a very beautiful effect. Very decorative.

Of all the flowers in the Hardy Garden the Peony is easily recognized as the Queen —in fact, it vies with the Rose for the title in many ways, for while in bloom it is without question the most glorious object in the garden. Once Peonies are planted they last for a life time. They stand the se- verest winters without the slightest pro- tection. Especially fine for single specimens and cemetery planting. After blooming their charm lies in the beauty of the foli- age, for even when not in bloom the Peony plant is decorative in the extreme and well

It produces a smooth, velvety green sward of at- tractive appearance. Sow the seed carefully and evenly at the rate of one quart to a space equal to 15x20 feet; two bushels will sow one acre. After sowing, cover the seed by raking or harrowing it.
Seeding may be done at any time during spring, summer or fall, but the best results are obtained by sowing during April, May, September or October. Where fall sowing is practiced a top-dressing of manure is recommended to protect the roots of the young grass during the winter. In the spring the gross matter should be removed, leaving the surface clean. To renovate lawn, loosen the soil on the bare spots with a steel rake, and, after sowing a liberal quantity of seed, roll or rake again to cover the seed.

Hardy Shrubs
for Permanent Planting
They are absolutely hardy, ind, once planted, last indefi- iitely, increasing in size and yeauty year after year. For cold ‘limate where hardy plants are jeeded they stand without an »qual. Planted in clumps, masses yr used for hedges, screens, or ‘or filling unsightly corners, hey make a_ glorious’ show. They supply that certain somnie- ching which is lacking in every yard where hardy shrubbery is not planted. We recommend a liberal planting of this class of plants. They last a lifetime and are sure to give splendid satis- faction. Their culture is exceed- ingly simple. When received cut the plants back about one-third their growth if not done before shipping. Set about three feet apart for a screen, but as in- dividual specimens plant wher- ever desired. Water freely when planted, and for a few days afterward. No protection § re-
‘quired. They may be planted
as soon as ground is ready to dig up until late spring. This class of plants should be set out ‘earlier than Roses and other pot plants, so if your order con- tains some of them we will send the different varieties at the proper season.
Some varieties, such as Hy- ‘drangea, Snowball, Weigelas, Deutzias, require pruning in early spring before new growth starts. Here with us it is done in late February or early March each season.
