Where and How Dingee
Roses are Produced

of the globe. ienvesy, auiae known nearly
everywhere as thes Din) ee e Experts-2 Their. label on Roses is equivalent to tghver Sterling mark of the high - class sil- versmith. Their deeds in this chosen field of work is their best advertisement.
In 1850, this business was founded by Charles Dingee. To-day Mr. Dingee, hale and hearty, takes pardonable pride in it, as the oldest and leading Rose-growing establish- ment in America.
The American people are home-builders and lovers of the beautiful. Roses in the yard and garden or clambering over porch or trellis, or wherever used, are almost as indispensable exterior decorations as the fur- niture of one’s home is for the interior.
DINGEE ROSES—tThe very name conjures up visions of thousands of homes all over this land, which have been made more beautiful —aye, more happy and more pleasant—by the millions of the Queen of all Flowers, born here in this establishment, and which have made the world acquainted with this little vil- lage and its Roses.
By Roses, we do not mean the poor, weak, ‘little slips” grown in “thumb-pots” which, fortunately, can no longer be sold to the intel- ligent, Rose-loving public, but great, strong, lusty plants, grown by the special methods of the Dingee experts—typical Dingee plants,
able, hardy, everblooming Bush Rose ever grown.
which thrive and bloom and carry the fullest measure of joy to their fortunate possessors.
This book is a distinct departure from any of our previous books, and it is designed to convey in the most concise, complete and comprehensive manner, all necessary infor- mation regarding our immense stock of Roses —the largest collection in the world—all on their own roots. In it are offered all other desirable miscellaneous plants for the lover of flowers. We hope it will typify the high char- acter of the Dingee Roses, which have come to be known as the aristocrats of the Rose- garden.
To our new friends that we meet this year, for the first time goes out the assurance that no concern anywhere can serve them better, more economically and more _ satisfactorily than we, and in saying this we do not wish in the slightest to detract from the few worthy and conscientious competitors we have in this business. Our business integrity is back of every statement we make.
This business of ours, with its humble start, has achieved a world-wide reputation, because of its adherence to the founder’s high standard of honorable and wholesome business methods —a dollar’s worth of goods for every dollar Sent us.
A word in passing about prices: There ought not to be any confusion on the part of the buyer as to the exact quality of the Rose-plant and its relation to the price asked for it. The basis of the cost of production is practically the same everywhere. There is virtually one standard and one price for glass and lumber and greenhouse construc- tion; one standard of prices for labor; and the basis on which the goods are sold is measured by the number of plants per square foot of ground space occupied by them. In order to make a large return for each square foot the common practice of some Rose- growers is to grow Roses in ‘‘thumb-pots,”’ 1% inches in diameter, thereby raising more plants (though very small ones) to the square foot. But we want to make it clear that our smallest Roses are grown in pots 3 and 3% inches in diameter, so when you buy a ‘‘thumb-pot” Rose, say at 15 cents, you are paying a higher price than the Rose from) larger pots swe Sell ats2 5) icents- a Our extra-large, vigorous Rose-plants at 20 cents and 25 cents each, quality considered, are much cheaper than ‘‘thumb-pot”’ Roses at 10 cents and 15 cents.

Dingee Roses The Best Varieties for Different Sections of the Country
All Dingee Roses are propagated under such favorable conditions that our shibboleth, ‘Dingee Roses Go and Grow Everywhere,”’ is literally true; but common sense tells us that certain kinds of Roses thrive better in some localities than in others. We are often asked our opinion upon this one point, and in order to give our friends a guide for them to fol- low we have tried to indicate as nearly as possible, in connection with the different classes of Roses, the section of the country in which each will thrive to its full perfection with the least amount of protection.
But it must not be understood, because we prefer a certain class for one locality, that it will not do well in others. For instance, we recommend all the Hybrid Perpetuals for planting in the extreme northern states and Canada, and yet these same varieties grow to great size and beauty in Florida and Texas. On the other hand, we state that some of the Tea Roses are best for southern planting; but by careful protection they may be grown successfully in Canada.
WHAT THE TERM The hardiness of any “HARDY” MEANS. Rose is a matter which no one can speak of with positive certainty, because the conditions of the winter, as a rule, prescribe the hardiness of the plant.
Where the winters come on gradually, the plant goes into a semi-dormant state naturally, and if the winter be continuously cold, then the most tender Roses very often survive; but when, as is frequently the case, an unsea- sonable cold snap comes in the early fall, followed again by warm weather, the plant is not sufficiently hardened to withstand the sudden change. If this is followed by what we know as an open winter—periods of severe weather, followed by thawing—it is then that the damage is done, because it keeps the plant between two extremes, injuring not only the young eyes near the roots, but the roots themselves.
How To Grow Roses
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL. Good soil is necessary for the proper growing of Roses, and if that at your disposal be naturally poor it will be well to dig out the Rose-beds and substitute a quantity of loam, which can be readily obtained from the sod by the road- side or from the fields. To still further enrich the soil, where it is accessible, add to each wheelbarrow-load of loam about one-third of its bulk of well-rotted stable manure; also some sand, Stituent.
liepnere -be- a lack-of this con-. | Fine-ground bone or commercial |
fertilizers may be employed, but if used too freely they are likely to injure the plants. None but such fertilizers as are free from acids should be used. Manure applied in the fall will serve as a partial protection over winter, and in the spring it will be beneficial as a mulch. An excellent plant-food, which may be used at all times with entire safety, is Bonora oftered elsewhere in this book.
Set the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart. Do not hesitate to place the roots well below the surface of the soil, arranging them as far as possible in their natural position. Cover the roots, pressing firmly down upon them and around the stem. After planting, water freely, and, if the sun be strong, protect them for a few days with a covering of news- papers or other suitable material. Cut off all withered wood and foliage. Water judi- ciously every evening, until they show signs of having become established. Do not plant if the ground is wet, as the soil will become baked, and thus endanger the safety of the plants. During the presence of protracted drought, the plants should be watered daily in the evenings. A little care and forethought exercised when the plants are small will have their reward in great, sturdy, vigorous bushes in a wonderfully short time.
UNPACKING PLANTS. When the plants are received, if, for any reason, it is desired to defer immediate planting, place the plants in the cellar or any moderately warm place, protect from the sun, set them upright, admit- ting the free circulation of air, and water freely from time to time. A slight covering of soil around the roots will be beneficial. Soak the roots in lukewarm water or thin mud for an hour or so before planting, to restore their vitality.
PLANTING. The proper time for planting in the various sections of the country largely depends first, upon the location, and, second, upon the character of the plant.
As to where the preference lies between plants that are pot-grown under glass, and dormant, field-grown plants, it is not easy to discriminate. Our own experience has been that in the southern and southwestern states, as well as on the Pacific coast, the planting of the one-year-old Roses during the months of February, March and April, accord- ing to the location, may be accomplished with splendid satisfaction. In the states north of Virginia, and even in the greater portion of Virginia, and throughout the middle section of the country, as well as in the states in the northwest, the best time to plant is during
ATONOOTN: ABS £91) Dingee Roses-Stundyas Oaks) 1850"
the spring or early summer months. In many of the moderately cold states, dormant Roses may be set out with safety during the fall months, but in the section of which we have latterly spoken, dormant Roses—and when we say ‘‘dormant’? we mean Roses that have been lifted from the field, which, when sent out, have neither foliage nor soil around the roots—may be planted in early spring, just as soon as the ground can be dug.
Everything considered, however, our pot- grown Roses are the most satisfactory of all. They are invariably on their own roots, and, when sent out, they have the advantage of being equipped with strong, fibrous, active roots, which take hold and establish them- selves in their new homes almost immedi- ately. They should be set out during the spring or early summer months, after all dan- ger of frost is past, or to quote a homely expression, after corn-planting time. Select, if possible, the most sheltered and sunny loca- tion for planting: avoid the close proximity of large trees, whose dense foliage and extending roots absorb all the life and sus- taining nutrition of the soil. Young trees and dwarf shrubbery will not be hurtful.
PRUNING. All Roses are helped by prun- ing. Roses of the type of Harrison’s Yellow, Soleil d’Or, Hybrid Perpetuals, Rugosas,— in fact, all Roses of this extremely hardy class, —are benefited very much by pruning, more so than any other class. From our own experience, we find that the Hybrid Per- petuals in many varieties, such as Mad. Mas- son, Mad. Charles Wood, General Jacquemi- not, and others of this type, frequently bloom two and three times during the season when the flowers are kept cut off and the plants pruned in to induce new shoots being thrown out, which produces the flowers. The average planter is extremely timid in pruning because he is afraid of the injury it will possibly do. Pruning, therefore, is a matter to be governed by the judgment of the possessor of the plants. We will add, however, that plants of persistent growth should be trimmed back each fall or in early spring about one-half to two-thirds of the season’s growth. Where plants, apparently healthy, fail to mature the buds which they bear, remove a large per- centage of the undeveloped buds and imper- fect blooms and prune severely. Also trim back about one-third, when, after planting, they shed their leaves and exhibit signs of weakness; this gives the roots a chance to become vigorous.
INSECTS AND INSECTICIDES. Our Roses are singularly free from insects, owing to their vigor, but should they become infested, a few applications of a good insecticide will exterminate them at the outset, after which very little or no trouble will be experienced.
6
One of the most common of insects is the green-fly, but they are readily removed by Syringing with clear water, smoking with tobacco stems, or spraying with kerosene emulsion or tobacco insecticide soap.
The red spider is an insect so small that ites: not idiscernibles toy atime naked eyes and frequent syringing with the insec- ticides named above should be resorted to to remove it. The rose hoppers or thrips can effectually be exterminated by syringing, while the leaf-rollers, which resemble butter- flies, of yellowish white color, can be picked off by hand. The Rose bug can be removed only by vigilant and unceasing syringing with insecticides.
Rose grubs are very destructive, feeding on the roots of the Rose, and before one knows that the plant has been destroyed they have accomplished their work. The only remedy is to dig into the ground and destroy them. If the soil is continuously affected with them, a good coating of air-slaked lime spaded in well will prove helpful.
The following receipts and preparations are good. They should be applied both to the upper and the under surface of the foliage by means of a good sprinkler. We can supply the Tyrian Plant Sprinkler, the Auto-Spray and New Era Sprayer, at prices given else- where in this book. All of these are inex- pensive and very satisfactory and will add much to the joy of growing healthy Roses.
KEROSENE EMULSION. To two parts of kerosene add one of slightly sour milk; agitate and dilute with twenty parts of soft water.
TOBACCO SOLUTION. Boil the leaves or stems of tobacco and dilute to the color of weak tea.
TOBACCO INSECTICIDE SOAP. A stand- ard remedy, and one of the best, with full directions for use. Two sizes. Price 13 cts: and 28 cts. each, postpaid.

WINTER PROTECTION. As to the classes of Roses that are hardy and those that are not hardy, this information is given in the introduction of the individual classes. Where it is possible, we would advise that the benefit of the doubt be given by protecting all varie- ties, irrespective of the class, for it will not be harmful to protect even the Mosses or Hybrid Perpetual Roses. Do not cover your plants too soon; a nip of frost will not hurt them, but will help to ripen and mature them.
Sufficient covering should be given to prevent the roots from freezing, but con- siderable light and circulation of air should not be excluded. In the spring, wait until the weather is settled before uncovering.

TWO-YEAR-OLD ROSES
The demand for our two-year-old Roses has reached enormous proportions, for the reason that they make a fine appearance and yield an abundance of splendid flowers at once. We offerplants on own roots only. They are far supe- rior to budded or grafted Roses, which are always unsatisfactory. Our stock has been grown cool and without stim- ulants. Those who buy Roses from us will receive the best-grown plants in America at prices that are the lowest, quality of stock considered. Wewill fill your order ina way to convince you of this fact. Our Two-Year-Old Roses are all pot-grown. We guarantee safe delivery of all goods to any post or express office in the United States.

the following custom ports, where they will be fumigated: St. John, N. B; St. Johns, Quebec; Niagara Falls and Windsor, Ontario; Winnipeg, Manitoba. All other goods, including our pot-grown Roses grown under glass are admitted at any time.
Foreign Orders. Ten per cent. extra should be added to orders going outside of the United States or its colo- nial possessions, to pay extra cost of packing and postage. To countries with which we have a parcels post, goods can be sent by mail. They also can be sent by express, but the person ordering must give the name and address of some one in New York who will receive the goods, pre- pay the ocean charges and forward them. We pack lightly and safely, and the charges, even to the most dis- taut points, are very reasonable.
Premium Plants. Wealways do betterthan we promise in the way of extra plants, so when the order will at all afford it, we add to it some plant or plants gratis, often choice new kinds. Several of the Roses now so eagerly sought after were first introduced to our customers in this way—presented with their order.
CLUB ORDERS.—To induce our customers to make up club orders among their friends, we
make special attractive inducements.
The only requirements are that the club shall consist of the
complete address of five club names, including the clubber, and that the order shall amount to not less than $10 in cash. Write for further terms under these conditions.

ER OF AMERICA
Our Front Cover Page Solidity and Sentiment
A Picture Typical of the Age and Character of This Largest and Oldest Rose-Growing Establishment in America
UR front cover design, reproduced O from a photograph taken by the writer,
has such a deep, allegorical significance that its use as the frontispiece of this, the catalogue of the oldest mail-order Rose-grow- ing establishment in America, is singularly appropriate. The building shown in _ the picture is one of the oldest Friends’ Meeting Houses in this country, and is located within a few miles of West Grove, Pennsylvania. ’Tis said that the. original deed for the ground on which this house stands was given to the ‘‘Meeting’”’ by William Penn himself. Part of this venerable edifice was erected long before the Revolutionary War, and has been in constant use ever since.
The magnificent white-oak tree, forming the central feature of the picture, foresters tell us, is more than five hundred years old— it was standing there when Columbus first landed upon the shores of the then unknown Western Hemisphere, and is to-day one of the finest specimens of this magnificent Species in the whole country. Sturdy and staunch it stands, the embodiment of majes- tic strength, still shedding its protecting Shade during the torrid heat of the summer sun, and sturdily defying the whipping, biting winds of winter—a study in still life and an inspiration to all who foregather ‘neath its friendly branches, and who would
13
ponder over the mystery of its origin from the tiny acorn—of itself a powerful sermon of which there are so many given us, if we would but understand, by that greatest of all moral teachers—old Mother Nature.
The figure in the foreground is that of Charles Dingee, who sixty-two years ago founded this business, and who to-day, hale, hearty and active, despite the frosts of almost ninety years, still takes a lively interest in this business, which it is our ambition to carry on as an enduring monument to his fame as the oldest and pioneer Rose-grower of America.
These three—the old Meeting House, which has withstood the ravages of time for nearly two centuries; the old tree, which has defied the elements for more than five cen- turies, and every spring wreaks out in the full vigor of a perennial youth; and Charles Dingee, whose name has been, for so many years, the synonym of all that is best in the flowers to which he devoted so many useful years in their propagation, form a combina- tion typical of the solidity of this greatest of all Rose-growing establishments. The picture appealed to us with the great meaning it con- veyed, and we feel that we can be pardoned for the bit of sentiment which impelled us to use it as a cover design for our 1912 book of ‘“Dingee Roses.”

Typical Hybrid Tea Roses
Dingee Famous Hybrid Tea Roses
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. This class combines the continuous-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 protec- tion and, of course, luxuriantly in the South. In all sections they form magnificent bushes, bearing all summer through great masses of the most beautiful Roses imaginable. They are, without exception, the greatest of all garden Roses.
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. This is important if you wish satisfactory results. We offer strong, lusty plants in all sizes, and stake our reputation upon their quality—the best in the world.

In order to make the parent plant pay a great percentage it can be cut into ten ONE-eyed cuttings—making ten young plants instead of five two- eyed plants. These one-eyed plants, sold at 15 cts. each, will bring $1.50, while if they are made from two-eyed cuttings, as we make them, they will bring but $1.00 at 20 cts. each—a seem- ingly higher price; but a plant of this kind has twice the vitality and twice the blooming capacity of the one-eyed kind.

always exceeded the supply. We have an immense quantity, however, and guarantee every plant to be true to name. The bush is strong and upright, with beautiful, deep bronzy green foliage, and the Rose is entirely free-blooming, bearing immense, long, pointed buds and massive flowers on big, heavy shoots. The color is deep, brilliant and sparkling shell-pink, of the most exquisite shade. The flowers are of delightful frag-

rance, immense size, and have thick petals of great substance. Killarney is unusually hardy and without protection, has stood Severe winters as far north as Boston. Strong one-year-old plants, 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts; larger size, 30 cts. each, 4 for $1, post- paid.

The long, full buds are handsome in shape and the full-open flower most refined and beautiful in form and texture.

Lyon Rose (Pernetiana)
The result of a cross between Mad. Melanie Soupert and Soleil d’Or. Pronounced by experts to be the most important introduc- tion of modern times. Flowers large, full and double, of remarkable substance, shrimp- pink, edges coral-red or salmon-pink, shaded chrome-yellow. Exceedingly fragrant. A con- stant bloomer. Perfectly hardy. Has been awarded the highest prizes at the many exhi- bitions of Europe. Stock limited and exceed- ingly scarce. This is one of the very few Roses which does not grow well on its. own roots, and it is necessary to graft it on a strong-growing stock. We therefore offer only large, two-year-old, budded plants, at $1 each.
Laurent Carle
Just as we were preparing this book, a friend wrote very enthusiastically of this new Rose, saying it was the richest and most beautiful Rose he had ever seen. It is, indeed, a beauty, with its extra-large, hand- somely formed, rich velvety carmine buds and flowers. It is a phenomenally strong and robust grower, hardy in every locality and continually in bloom. 25 cts. each; larger size, 40 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 60 Clseachi. i
Do you know what makes a good Rose? Probably not; then listen: All roses on their own roots, and they are the best, are grown from cuttings or branches of the PARENT plant.

In order to make. the parent plant pay a great percentage it can be cut into ten ONE-eyed cuttings—making ten young plants instead of five two-eyed plants. These one-eyed plants, sold at 15 cts. each, will bring $1.50, while if they are made from two-eyed cuttings, as we make them, they will bring but $1.00 at 20 cts. each—a seemingly
higher price; but a plant of this kind has twice the a
vitality and twice the blooming capacity of the one-eyed kind. They are the only kind to buy. Just remember when comparing prices that all our plants are grown from these high-grade, two-eyed plants the best in the world.

UL NEW PINK HA 7
Introduced and for sale only by The Dingee & Conard Co.
In the bright galaxy of now famous pink Hybrid Tea Roses it would seem impossible at first thought to produce a new variety of superior merit. We have no fear, however, of the result of public opinion when this superb newcomer is tried out in comparison with such sterling favorites as La France, Queen Beatrice, Wellesley, Killarney, My Maryland, and many others, for it is absolutely distinct, there being no variety in any class showing the delicate tints and shadings found in this fair member of Flora’s kingdom.
It has that which is of prime importance—a hardy, vigorous constitution, forming a symmetrical bush, and by reason of its unusually vigorous habit it makes a sturdy plant, with large, heavy insect-proof foliage, which is a feature worthy of special mention.
It blooms as freely as any Tea Rose, from the first days of spring continuously through- out the growing season, and is rarely ever out of bloom, a single plant producing innumer- able flowers on stiff, strong stems, well above the foliage. The flowers are glorious in form, perfectly molded, with large, heavy petals of splendid substance, forming a long, pointed bud, while the open flower is large, full, deep and well filled. The fragrance is delicious beyond description, while the color is an exquisite shade of pink, daintily and peculiarly clouded with lighter shades.
Stock is limited, and orders will be filled in rotation as they are received. Strong, young plants, from pots 3 and 34 inches in diameter, 25 cts. each, 5 for $1; larger size, 35 cts. each, postpaid; extra-heavy, two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; large, three-year-old specimen plants, 75 cts. each.

Here is a collection of Roses to which we wish to call particular attention. It seems unfortunate that we do not have sufficient space in this book to enlarge upon their merits. Many of them are beautiful beyond description. All of them are gems of the first water, collected from almost every known source, representing the cream of all the new introduc- tions of Europe. The skilled rosarians of the Old World have worked for years to produce these children of their skill, and it you could know them as we do you would share with us in our enthusiasm. Nature has bestowed her charms upon them with a lavish hand. Whether you plant one or all of them the results will be the same—their beauty will charm you, and we are fortunate that we can offer them at such reasonable prices. The original stock repre- sents an enormous outlay, not only of money, but time and patience; few of them can be had elsewhere. They are free blooming, hardy, and worthy of all the faith we have in them. Do not pass this list without selecting a few of them, at least, for trial.

Bridesmaid and The Bride Roses
| Dingee Hardy Ever- blooming Tea Roses
Tea Roses form the fcundation of nearly all the great Roses of to-day. Without them, the lovely Hybrid Tea class would be impossible. They are among the oldest and most highly cherished of all Roses. They have made the Rose-gardens of America what they are. Their place and value is everlasting. Rugged, healthy and hardy in growth, free blooming (they bloom all the time), their flowers are chaste and beautiful. You cannot well do without them. They thrive gloriously in all sections of the country.
Their ease of propagation has, unfortunately, caused them to be produced by some growers in enormous quantities to meet a certain demand for “cheap Roses,’ and these so-called cheap Roses have brought untold disappointment to all who have planted them, and have discredited the business of every first-class Rose-dealer. Don’t be misled into buying these cheap, ‘‘one-eyed,” “‘thumb-pot’” Rose-plants made to sell at “‘popular prices.” Plant good Roses, grown by a firm with a reputation to sustain. Pay a fair price for high- class goods, with a guarantee back of them—the Dingee kind—and you will soon become a Rose enthusiast in the true sense of the word, and a permanent Dingee patron.
Ours is the greatest collection of own-root Roses in the world. This collection of hardy, everblooming Tea Roses is the very life of our immense list. To the beginner—the novice in Rose culture—the great number of varieties may be confusing, but to eliminate a single one, however, would do a distinct injustice to the introducer and to our collection, for each variety has its own particular charm and merit. If you find it difficult to make a choice, leave the selection to us. We will send you the varieties we would want were we buying instead of selling. You may safely rely upon full satisfaction, for that is guaranteed at all times by us.

Do you know what makes a good Rose? Probably not; then listen: All roses on their own roots, and they are the best, are grown from cuttings and branches of the PARENT plant. Say the parent plant produces five cuttings or young plants with TWO eyes or branches, from which it makes other branches. In order to make the parent plant pay a great percentage it can be cut into ten ONE-eyed cuttings— making ten young plants instead of five two-eyed plants. These one-eyed plants, sold at 15 cents each, will bring $1.50, while if they are made from two-eved cuttings, as we make them, they will bring but $1.00 at 20 cts. each—a seemingly higher price; but a plant of this kind has twice the vitality and twice the blooming capacity of the one-eyed kind. They are the only kind to buy. Just remember when comparing prices that all our plants are grown from these high-grade, two-eyed plants—the best in the wocld. If you want the weak, one-eyed plants, they can be had cheaper, and so they ought to be. Wedo not grow them, much less sell them.

SAN Standard List of Hardy Everblooming Tea Roses 15 Roses—A Complete Rose Garden—for $1.00.
It does not follow that because the following Hardy Tea Roses for the home-garden are relegated merely to a line of description that they are in any way inferior to others given more extended notice. These are the tried and true favorites, so well known and beloved of all who cherish Roses—and that means everybody. The limitations of this book will not permit us to extoll their virtues, as they deserve, for many are worthy of a full page of description. These are the
Dingee Roses That Made West Grove Famous.
With these and the many others in this book, we feel that we have reached what we believe to be the highest perfection in Rose-growing—sixty years of experience is either worth something, or experience counts for naught, and to-day the name of Dingee in con- nection with a Rose stands for the same high quality and absolute truthfulness, as does the name of Tiffany on silverware. Only long years of merited confidence, with unquestioned quality back of their work, can make such names as these stand out as shining lights in the business world.
With these Roses, every one of which is a gem of the first water, you can have a whole Rose Garden for $1—a dollar will buy 15 of them in one or assorted varieties, your selec- tion or ours, and we know you have never received greater worth for your money. Hardy everywhere except where the winters are unusually severe; then careful protection is required.

SLB TAR: c The Novelty Rose Garden
On this page are offered all the new, Hardy, Everblooming Tea Roses of merit introduced during the past few years up to the present time, not only in this country, but in Europe. This grand collection emphasizes the zealous efforts put forth by ourselves and our foreign agents that we might secure the newest, best and prettiest Roses in the world. These, as well as all our Roses, are on their own roots, and are, therefore, far more valuable than bud- ded or grafted plants with which the country is flooded. Many of these varieties are from the original stock, which we control, and cannot be had elsewhere in America. If you have any misgivings as to the beauty and merit of the newer varieties, set such aside and give them a trial. |
Set aside a corner of your Rose-garden totry these marvelous, new, Hardy, Everbloom- ing Tea Roses. There is much joy in growing them. You may be able to discover a jewel of untold value. That is the way many of the famous Roses of to-day were developed. Hardy outdoors in all sections except where the winters are unusually severe; then careful
protection is required.

Dingee Famous Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses
There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual Roses, or ‘June Roses,” as they are some- times 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 diameter, 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 season. 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. The smallest Size plants are grown in pots not less than 3 and 3% inches in diameter and are strong, sturdy stock. Many of our Hybrid Perpetuals are included among our justly popular “Tron- Clad Roses,” a color plate of which is shown on page 72 and list on page 73.

wee GLOIRE LYONNAISE|
Great Roses are made all the greater by the publicity given them. Frequently, a variety of more than ordinary worth is allowed to ‘‘waste its sweetness on the desert air’ because the public is unacquainted © . with its merits. This is especially true of this great variety. It makes a strong, upright bush, with beautiful deep green foliage; is practically thornless. While a Hybrid Perpetual, it blooms almost as freely as a Hybrid Tea, bearing in the greatest profusion large, pointed buds and massive flowers, on long, stiff, heavy shoots; the open flower is enormous, full deep, and double. Color, rich creamy white, passing, when open, to a pale shade of salmon-yellow, deepest at the center. It is absolutely hardy everywhere, and we ask that you plant it freely. It will be a constant source of delight. See, also, this glorious Rose on the color plate on page 72.

Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses
; Hardy Climbing Roses have the popular call. They have become an absolute neces- sity for beautifying the home, for training over porches, verandas, trellises and pergolas, and they make most beautiful flowering hedges when trained on low supports. No other concern offers such a complete list of Climbing Roses as we, including, as it does, all the new kinds, as well as the oid tried and true favorites which may be found spreading their beauty all over our fair land.
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. The same high quality of stock distinguishing Dingee Roses, the same care in propagation and growing makes this class a most important one in our business.
PRICE of all Hardy Climbing Roses offered in this section, except where noted, 15 cts. each, 50 cts. for any 4; SS a or any 9; larger size 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts. postpaid, two-year-old plants 40 cts. each.

The First and Only Hardy Ever- blooming Yellow Climbing Rose Introduced by the

Our claim that this is the first hardy, everblooming, yellow -climb- ing Rose, remains undisputed. Key- stone has been thoroughly tested and found to have any number of strong points. It grows more freely than any other climbing Rose, is perfectly hardy everywhere, blooms in wonderful profusion, is abso- lutely immune from insect attacks and has a vigor of constitution found in no other kind. The open flower
ot Keystone is perfectly double, with buds beautifully formed. It is a deep lemon-yellow Rose, similar
to Coquette de Lyon. The fragrance is very much like that of magnolia blossoms. It readily attains a height Of 25 *feet: in 4. “Single . season; branching freely, and has always come through the winter without damage, even in the most exposed situations, not requiring protection. Keystone possesses every feature that denotes a good Rose, and its free-blooming qualities make it in- dispensable in every Rose-garden.

Hardy Climbing “Hybrid Tea Roses
The Roses on this and the next page are noted for the exquisite beauty of their flowers, rivalling, as they do, those of the Hybrid Tea Class. They are all wonderfully strong and growing, hardy and vigorous, and in con- stant bloom all summer. In the middle sec- tions of the country and in the Northwest they thrive and bloom most luxuriantly, while in the warmer sections they fairly run riot in their glory of growth and bloom. Even in the coldest northern states they grow to per- fection, but will require protection in winter.

BO aaa erg == 1 Was IGS)", Dingee Roses-Sturdy as Oaks 4 1850. Our Great New Hardy Rose, Climbing Killarney
(See photographic illustration in colors opposite)
Last year we offered for the first time a climbing type of the famous pink Rose, Killarney, the most celebrated Hybrid Tea of its color yet introduced. Repeated trials both in our grounds and by our friends who purchased this marvelous Rose, and who have written very enthusiastic letters about it, confirm the statements we made in regard to it. The beautiful flowers of this wonderful Rose are identical with the parent variety, but the bush is of the climbing habit of growth, placing it at once in a class by itself, because there is no other climbing variety of its color. It is a strong, rapid grower, growing to perfection in the open ground, throwing up shoots 10 to 15 feet high in a single season, and is entirely hardy. It blooms continuously throughout the season, and the flowers are magnificent beyond description, immense, long, pointed buds with massive petals, opening into flowers of enormous size; color deep pink, bright and sparkling, an exquisite shade, deliciously frag- rant; in fact, one of the greatest new Roses we ever offered. Our illustration on the opposite page gives a slight idea of its marvelous beauty. Our stock is limited, and orders will be filled in strict rotation. Early orders are therefore advisable, even if you do not wish to plant at once. We will carefully set aside the plants, delivering them at any time desired.
First size, strong plants, from pots 3 and 314 inches in diameter, 25 cts. each, 5 for $1, $2.50 per dozen; larger size, 35 cts. each, 3 for $1, $3.75 per dozen; extra-size, two-year- old plants, 50 cts. each, $5.00 per dozen; three- and four-year-old, extra-heavy specimen plants (limited quantity), 75 cts. each, $7.50 per dozen, all own roots.
Climbing White Maman Cochet
(See photographic illustration in colors opposite)
For many years the old White Maman Cochet has been considered one of the very best of all White Tea Roses, and this new climber has all the superfine qualities of that old Standard Rose, with added value in its climbing habit. The foliage is strong and of a delight- fully fresh green, is not subject to disease or insect attacks, and even when not in bloom the plant is of great charm, adding great beauty to the house.
The exquisite white flowers, every one of which is a perfect specimen of the White Maman Cochet Rose, are borne in the greatest profusion, fairly covering the plant all sum- mer, for it is one of the most constant bloomers of all the white climbing Roses. It is absolutely hardy, except in the extreme North, where it requires some slight protection. It is a strong, vigorous grower, throwing up strong canes 15 or 20 feet long in a single season.
For many years we tried to import plants of this remarkable Rose, and scoured the world at enormous expense in our efforts, for we felt that no expense should be spared to supply our friends with the very best and latest in Rose introductions. At last, from far-off New Zealand we succeeded in obtaining a strong, thrifty plant, from which our stock has been propagated. Ours is the Guaranteed, Genuine Stock, which can be procured from no other house in this country. Do not be misled into buying this Rose without a guarantee of its genuineness, First size, strong plants from pots 3 and 3% inches in diameter, 25 cts. each, 5 for $1; larger size 35 cts. each; two-year-old plants, very large, 60 cts. each. Immense, field-grown plants, 3 years old, $1.50 each, stock limited, and early ordering will be necessary to secure them.
Do you know what makes a good Rose? Probably not; then listen: Allroses on their own roots, and they are the best, are grown from cuttings or branches of the parent plant. Say the parent plant produces five cuttings or young plants with two eyes or branches, from which it makes other branches. In order to make the parent plant pay a great percentage it can be cut into ten one-eyed cuttings—making ten young plants instead of five two-eyed plants. These one-eyed plants if sold at 15 cents each, will bring $1.50, while if they are made from two-eyed cuttings. as we make them, they will bring but $1.00 at 20 cents each —a seemingly higher price; but a plant of this kind has twice the vitality and the blooming capacity of the one-eyed kind. They are the only kind to buy. Just remember when comparing prices that all our plants are grown from these high-grade, two-eyed plants—the best in the world.
I will be pleased to have you mail mea catalogue of your Roses. Some years ago I placed a full line cf them in my city home, but have since disposed with the same and bought in another part of the city, and as soon as the weather permits will want a fullline again, as they were certainly the most satisfactory and successful bloomers I have ever had.
Denver, Colorado, March 16 1911. M. P. ANTHONY.
It may be ofinterest to you to know that the twenty -two Rose plants and seven Cannas that you shipped to us last April are stillalive. The Cannas are blooming well. Eleven of the Rose plants have bloomed, so that with them and others that we had before we had fresh cut blooms of Roses on our front hall table every day from June first until October first, The ten climbers have grown varying from three to ten feet high and will likely bloom freely next year.

Great Special Offering—Dingee “Iron-Clad” Roses
Big, heavy, 3- and 4-year-old field-grown plants for quick results ( See color plate, reproduced from photographs, opposite )
The persistent inquiries each year from thousands of customers for extra-heavy, own- root plants of Hardy Hybrid Perpetual, or ‘June Roses,” as well as the many leading kinds of other classes, have made it necessary for us to meet this demand. The permanent attrac- tiveness of one’s home surroundings is undeniably incomplete without a collection of these great, hardy iron-clad Roses. We therefore offer a complete collection of hardy Roses, ALL ON THEIR OWN ROOTS, each one a gem, famous the world over, large, stocky plants, that have been grown by our special methods, in specially prepared ground, where they have been given all the care and skill at our command, with the result that they are now plants that may be termed three- and four-year-old and unsurpassed for general planting where quick returns are desired.
We can furnish the entire list of ‘‘Iron-clad’’ Roses on pages 74 and 75 at any time in fine three- and four-year-old plants from pots 6 and 7 inches in diameter, and we wish to say to those who will plant them that the results they will give, which will be immediate, will be a revelation. Space forbids an extensive explanation of how these Roses have been grown, but, briefly stated, the original stock was carefully selected and set out in virgin soil in the open ground, and each plant was watered individually when it required it.
These Roses have been trimmed into shapely size—in fact, each might be termed a specimen plant, for they have received individual care. Growing in the open fields, they range in height according to their growth from 2 to 3 feet. They have been cut back where it seemed necessary, until we can recommend them as being the sturdiest and best rooted plants ever offered in this country. They may be safely planted out anywhere in the United States and Canada, and they are hardy everywhere. A _ slight protection the first winter, though not necessary, will not be amiss. The opportunity is here presented to our customers to secure these plants at an extremely low price, and the money thus invested we guarantee will be the most satisfactory any of our friends have ever put into Roses.
PRICE of all “‘Iron-clad’”’ Roses described on pages 74 and 75, in extra-heavy three- and four-year-old plants, from 6- and 7-inch pots, 75 cts. each, $8 per dozen.
PLEASE NOTE.—Stock such as we offer cannot be had elsewhere at any price. It has the size and will give immediate results. Plants are now in pots 6 and 7 inches in diameter, and, most important of all, the plants are ON THEIR OWN ROOTS. Plant for plant, they are worth five times as much as Holland-grown, budded and grafted stock. FINALLY, the stock is limited. To procure these remarkable Roses it is necessary to order early. Orders booked and stock reserved for delivery when wanted.
REMEMBER. If your order amounts to $10 or more we prepay all shipping charges anywhere in the United States. —————__—__—_——._ If under $10 add 10 per cent of the totol amount and we will prepay all shipping charges. It wil] be greatly tu your advantage to make your order at least $10 and be saved express charges.

See full description and prices of this remarkable Rose on page 13.
«CRIMSON RAMBLER (The Rose of the Masses). One-year plants will attain a height of 10 to 20 feet in a single season, and the second year they will continue to produce a marvelous profusion of rich and glowing crimson flowers in large clusters. It presents a vivid crimson mass of beauty when in full bloom, during June and July. It is absolutely hardy everywhere and is equally desirable for growing in bush form by pegging it down, or in pot plants.
Y*RUBIN (A New Rambler). Flowers are larger and more double than Crimson Ram- bler; color bright, shining crimson-scarlet. Hardy in all localities. A strong, rampant climber, and has received a certificate of
merit by the German National Rose Society.
*Everblooming Crimson Rambler

WIEGAND’S CRIMSON RAMBLER (Non Plus Ultra). Introduced as an improved Crim- son Rambler; a little fuller in the flower and deeper in color. Two weeks earlier.
‘“PHILADELPHIA CRIMSON RAMBLER. This now famous variety differs from the old Crimson Rambler in having brighter, deeper and more intense crimson color. Earlier than the Crimson Rambler and entirely free from mildew. Flowers perfectly double and of excellent substance.
YELLOW RAMBLER (Aglaia). Flowers are deep golden yellow and very fragrant.
“WHITE RAMBLER (Thalia). Flowers pure white, sometimes tinted with blush.
«PINK RAMBLER. Large trusses of bril- liant carmine flowers. Very popular.
One infallible sign of the satisfaction our Roses have always given is shown by the many letters we rece‘ve from
patrons who tell us of the plants their parents and grandparents purchase from this concern.
The letiters below and
in various parts of this book are typical of the many we receive.
Twenty years ago, when a boy in Virginia, my father. who always had the most beautiful front yard in every town I can remember livingin, always bought his Roses from Dingee & Conard, and it seems natural for me to now order what
I want from the same Company, that has solong been the leader in its line in America.

Dwarf or Baby Rambler Roses
The Famous Crimson Baby Rambler
One of the most useful and ornamental Roses yet introduced. It blooms in immense clusters similar to Crimson Rambler, every dayin the year, but grows only 20 inches high. Better than an azalea, it is superb for single specimens, dwarf hedges and for bedding. The color is clear and brilliant ruby-red; foliage dark and glossy. Free from insects and absolutely hardy everywhere. 15 cts: each, 4 for 50 cts:, 9: for $1." larger size.» 20,cts: each ss ior cts., postpaid. Two-year-old plants, 45 cts. each, $4.50 per dozen. Extra-heavy, strong, three- and four-year-old plants, 75 cts. each, $8.00 per dozen.
The Lovely Anny Muller
Hitherto known as Pink Baby Rambler
This Rose is very much the same as the Crimson Baby Rambler, except in the color of the flowers, which are a shiny and brilliant pink, produced in the greatest profusion in large clusters. It is a splendid companion for the other excellent members of this family. 15 cts. each, 4 for 50 cts.; larger size, 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts. Two-year-old plants, 45 cts. each, postpaid. Strong, three-year-old plants, on own roots, 75 cts. each, $8.00 per dozen.
Baby Dorothy
(Maman Levavasseur)
This magnificent Baby Rambler is equally as meritorious, if not more so than Crimson Baby Rambler, which has become so famous. Of dwarf growth, it blooms practically all the time, producing in amazing quantities large clusters or panicles of its beautiful pink flowers, which are full and double, the color of which is almost identical with the flowers of Dorothy Perkins. Entirely hardy. 20 cts. each; larger size, 30 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 45 cts. each.
Mrs. Wm. H. Cutbush
One of the very finest types of the Baby Rambler Roses. Of dwarf growth, producing in constant profusion flowers of pale pink, borne in huge trusses throughout the entire summer and autumn. Hardy. 30 cts. each, postpaid; larger size, 50 cts. each; two-year- old plants, 75 cts. each.
Blumenschmidt
A splendid bedding Rose of the Cochet type, glowing all summer with its wealth of citron- yellow flowers, each petal of which is edged with dainty rose. The individual flowers are large and well formed, resembling in many ways some of the handsomest Tea Roses. The bushes are strong, vigorous growers and when planted in quantity they soon form a most attractive feature of the garden, being in constant bloom. 15 cts. each, 4 for 50 cts.; larger size, 25 cts. each; two-year-old plants,

Polyantha, or Fairy Roses
The members of this distinct and charming class of everblooming Roses, of which the Baby Rambler forms a conspicuous group, are distinguished by their dwarf, bushy habit of growth, medium size, very double flowers and delightful fragrance. They are borne in large clusters and masses, almost covering the whole plant with a sheet of bloom. Our two-year-old plants are particularly good.

Dingee Chrysanthemums
The culture of Chrysanthemums is the easiest. If grown in the house, first put them into pots 3 to 4 inches in diameter, re-planting them as they make growth into larger pots or boxes, 6 and 7 inches in diameter. Use good, rich soil and water frequently and thor- oughly. If grown in the open ground, they should be planted in a sheltered situation to protect them from early frosts. Further detailed information as to the method employed in forcing them for single flowers or for exhibition purposes will be furnished upon application.

§ Bee Roses have become one of the most popular forms of
lawn decoration, and justly so, for there is a charm about them impossible to produce with any other plant. In some sections of the coun- try alawn without several Rose Trees growing upon it is not considered complete.
These plants are grafted on hardy Rose stalks 3 to 4 feet high, are tree-shaped, and when in full growth and bloom the effect is exceedingly charming. Planted on the lawn, or, when used along walks, driveways, and for similar purposes, the effect is striking in the extreme.
The splendid collection of Rose Trees, noted below, has been grown and grafted especially for us by the most famous grower in Europe, and are warranted to be absolutely true to name, strong and thrifty, and bound to give unalloyed satisfaction.
