DINGEE ROSES

The Pioneer Rose Growers of America

To Our Rose Loving Friends Everywhere

ORE than Sixty Years ago—to be accurate

sixty-three years ago—this business was

founded by Charles Dingee. Located in this beautiful little Pennsylvania town, West Grove, its fame has spread to every nation of the earth. The name “Dingee” in millions of homes is synonymous with fragrant, blooming Roses. These famous Rose growers, who produce these wonderful Dingee Roses are known everywhere as the “Dingee Experts.” They have spent their en- tire lives in this business. Their label on Roses is equivalent to the sterling mark of the high- class silversmith. Their deeds in this chosen field of work is their monument.

The up-building of this business to its present magnitude has been accomplished through a re- markably simple but time-honored principle—a dollar’s worth of goods for every dollar sent us; a big, honest, wholesome guarantee back of every plant that means just what it says—that is all and that has built a great business; so let it be known that, as time goes on, our adherence to the founder’s high standard of honorable and whole- some business methods, is rigidly adhered to.

Our old friends—and their names are legion— need no assurance from us of business integrity, but to our new friends that we meet this year for the first time, let us say that no one can serve them better or more economically or more sat- isfactorily than we, and in saying this we do not wish, in the slightest, to detract from the few worthy and conscientious competitors in this busi- ness, but we want them to know that in sending an order to us that they take absolutely no risk whatever. Seventy-five thousand (75,000) feet of new glass—nearly two acres of mammoth glass houses—have been built this year to meet the enormous demand for these Wonderful Dingee Roses.

First and foremost, our Roses will grow for you. On their own roots, not grafted on wild roses, like nursery-grown roses, they are grown in large pots for amateur planters—FOR YOU. Unlike the wild root plants sold by nursery agents and de- partment stores without a guarantee of any kind, our stock is sent out with a guarantee back of it. We do all the experimenting and take all the losses. We send you plants that are vigorous, pot-grown bushes, which cost us five times more to produce than the dormant, leafless, wild root, nursery-grown stock and we sell them at one-third the cost. We take all the risk—you take none. We guarantee that all goods must reach you in first-class condi- tion, no matter where you live in the U. S. A. or money back or goods duplicated, whichever you prefer. We prepay express charges on all orders of $5 and over to all points in the U. S. What could be fairer? If you want beautiful, fragrant Roses and other flowers blooming in boundless profusion this year, now is your opportunity.

Simply follow the plain instructions given else- where in this book and you will succeed. Not only in Roses do we excel but in miscellaneous plants of all kinds, practically every one that is worth growing, including a complete line of the very highest grade of flower and vegetable seeds.

Sixty-three years of business integrity, dur- ing which time we have served millions of rose lovers in all parts of the universe, gives our as- surance of efficient service considerable value. Before laying this book aside, make up your order, send it in to us as early as possible. We will re- serve the goods for you or ship whenever you direct, guaranteeing absolute satisfaction, honor- able treatment and $1.00 worth of goods for every dollar sent us. Our word for it that you will be satisfied in every particular.

Dingee Roses and How to Grow Them

The Best Varieties for Different Sections of the Country

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 follow 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.

A LL DINGEE ROSES are propagated under such

Preparation of Beds

To get the best results from Roses when planted in beds is to make a trench to a depth of 15 to 18 inches, that is, the soil should be removed to the depth, well pulverized and mixed with from one-third to one- fourth of its bulk with well rotted animal manure, cow stable manure preferable where it can be obtained. Be- fore filling in the bed it is well to put in some material for drainage, such as soft coal cinders, broken crock- ery or stones, not too large. Then return the soil to the trench, and when returned it should stand from 3 to 4 inches higher than the surrounding ground, as it will quickly settle below the surface. It is neces- sary to do this, in order that the rain water will drain quickly away from the bed. If, however, the soil you remove from the trench is not the best Rose soil, as the best kind of soil for Roses is a clayey loam, if your soil does not contain this it can be improved by mixing in sods from the roadside or fields, but if your soil is too heavy it should be lightened with a portion of sand. The soil before returning to the trench shoula be well pulverized, that is, make it as fine as possible, and also the manure should be pulverized and not left in chunks if you wish to obtain the best results. The selection of your bed is a very important matter. Roses thrive best where they can secure all the sun possible,

that is, do not plant them close to trees or shrubbery,.

as the roots of these extend further than the branches. Select, if possible, an open situation, where the plants will receive plenty of air and sunshine. It is not, how- ever, necessary that they should receive sunshine the entire day. A southeastern exposure is an ideal one.

Fertilizer

This is a question we are frequently requested to ans- wer. Animal manure from one to two years old where it can be obtained is the best. Cow manure is generally preferred. Horse manure when new is very heating and should not be used while in this condition, except as a winter mulch. Hog, sheep and chicken manure are also very useful. The last two, however, should be used sparingly. Ground bone is beneficial, but should be se- cured as fine as possible, and it should be used spar- ingly. The best method is sprinkling a portion over the bed until the ground is entirely covered, then with the use of a fork it can be dug into the soil and thoroughly mixed. You will also find an occasional application of Bonora, such as is offered in this book, will produce

good results. Air slacked lime is also beneficial, about a cupful to a plant scattered on the surface in early Spring and mid-summer.

Planting

As soon as the plants are received it is best to imme- diately plant, yet if it is impossible to do this the plants should be placed in a cellar or moderately warm place and protected from the sun. Set them upright to admit the free circulation of air. Water freely from time to time. The roots should be covered with soil or burlap and never be allowed to become dry. Soaking the roots in luke-warm water or thin mud for an hour or two before planting to restore their vitality is beneficial. Do not set the plants too deep or too shallow. They shoula be planted a little deeper than they were growing in the pots before shipping. This can easily be determined by an examination of the plant. The roots of the plants should be spread out and not cramped. Give them as near a natural position as is possible. Use plenty of water after planting and shade for a few days if the sun is hot, with newspaper or Similar material, and if the season is a dry one an occasional watering will be bene- ficial. The best time to plant Roses such as we send out, being pot grown, own root stock, is in early Spring, as soon as all danger of frost is past and the ground is warm and pliable, or, in other words, about corn plant- ing time. This time, of course, varies with the location. Here in Pennsylvania about the first of May is our plant- ing time. Further North it is a little later; further South earlier. February, March and April are good months for Roses on the Pacific Coast and the far South. This refers entirely to pot grown plants and not dormant plants. By dormant plants we mean field grown, that is, lifted from the field and have not made any growth whatever. Such plants as these should be set out earlier than pot-grown plants. Everything considered, however, our pot-grown plants are, as a rule, the most satisfactory. They. are always on their own roots, and when set out they have the advantage of being equipped with strong, fibrous, active roots, which take hold and establish themselves in the new soil almost immediately, and the risk of losing the plants is very slight indeed, while with dormant plants the plant is older, the roots very hard, and if conditions are not just right they will not throw out new shoots and take hold of the soil as the pot plants do.

Pruning

As a rule the Roses that we send out do not need any pruning, being pot-grown plants. However, if the bushes are more spreading than is desired it does not injure the plant any to prune it back. This applies only to the pot-grown plants. Where dormant or field- grown plants are secured they should be pruned back before planting. Pruning can be done at any sea- son of the year with a certain class of Roses, but it is a matter to be governed by the judgment of the pos- sessor of the plants. The best time for pruning is in . early spring, just before they begin to break at the eyes. Then it is well to trim Roses back to about one-third to one-half the season’s growth. The larger and heav- ier the growth the more it should be trimmed. It is sometimes beneficial in the Fall to trim Roses that have made a growth of from 5 to 6 feet, soon after heavy frost or hard freezing. They then should be cut back about 3 feet to prevent loosening the plants by the wintry winds. It also makes them easier to pro- tect. No further pruning, however, should be done until, as stated above, early Spring, just before they begin to break at the eye, then the old wood should be

pruned back and all of the wood that has been winter killed.

Winter Protection

The protection necessary to keep Roses safely through the Winter months depends entirely upon the character of the plant and the location. For such Roses as the Hybrid Perpetuals, Rugosas, Harrison’s Yellow, etc., very little protection is necessary in any climate, yet it is beneficial in the cold latitudes of the North to give them a protection of strawy horse stable manure after the first hard freeze. The soil itself is a good protection. When protecting the Teas and Hy- brid Teas it is a good plan to mound the earth about each plant, then fill in between the mounds with strawy stable manure, the coarser the better. The uncovered tops may be tied up with straw or burlap, or the bed filled in with leaves, straw, hay or like material. Ever- green branches are also good. We would not suggest the use of leaves, as oftentimes mice make their home there and destroy the plants through the winter. This protection should be gradually removed in March in the latitude of Philadelphia, or as soon as all danger of hard freezing is over. The tender Roses may also be wintered in boxes or pots of soil in a cool cellar or heeled in (the earth itself). Where you have a dirt floor two or three waterings will be required during the Winter, just sufficient to prevent drying out.

Diseases and Insects Mildew

This disease very frequently attacks the foliage of Roses, especially the Crimson Rambler. It is shown by a grayish crinkling appearance of the leaves and usu- ally occurs after a change in the temperature. It can be checked to a certain extent by sprinkling the leaves with powdered sulphur immediately after its appear- ance. If, however, this does not check it, dissolve one ounce of potassium sulphuret in two gallons of cold water and apply a fine spray.

Green Fly or Aphis

A green suckling insect which usually gathers in great numbers upon the tips of the new growth. A so- lution of tobacco made from tobacco insecticide soap, which you will find offered elsewhere in this book, wilY exterminate them.

Red Spider is also a small insect indiscernible to the naked eye, and a frequent spraying with a strong hose is all that is necessary. The leaf roller is an insect of yellowish-white color, resembling the butterfly, and lays eggs on the underside of the leaf, which soon form a cocoon, rolling around itself the leaf, hence the name leaf roller. The Rose bug, a familiar insect, appears in the earlier Summer, sometimes in great quanities, and is very troublesome. It is a very destructive insect and usually feeds upon the white petals, but is easily destroyed, especially in the early morning, when they will readily fall into a vessel containing kerosene. They can be poisoned, but it is not a very desirable way to get rid of them. This is to spray with wood alcohol, which will kill any insect by contact, operates quickly and does not injure the flower if applied in a mist-like spray. Care should be exercised by the operator not to inhale any of the fumes. Any of the foregoing prepa- rations can be applied by the Tyrian Plan Sprinkler or the New Era Sprayer, the price of which will be found elsewhere in this book.

Black Spot

A fungus disease, appearing as its name indicates as a black spot upon the leaf, eventually turning yellow and falling. It rarely occurs in the early part of the season, and the Teas are almost, but not quite exempt from its ravages. The best preventative if your bushes have been troubled by it in the past is spraying in April before the foliage has developed and not while the flowers are in bloom, because of the discoloration of the foliage. The disease usually appears at the base of the plant and works upwards, soa watch should be kept and as soon as any leaves appear affected with this disease

Yak

EY vith

they should be pulled off and taken entirely away from the balance of the plants. If this is thoroughly done it will usually hold the disease in check.

Hardiness

Hardiness in a Rose is a matter of which no one can speak with positive certainty, because the condition of the weather as a rule prescribes the hardiness of a plant, as quite frequently plants that have been out year after year will be winter killed by unusual conditions. As stated elsewhere the hardiness of the different va- rieties of plants can be depended upon to be as near accurate as it is possible for any one to determine.

KEROSENE EMULSION. To two parts of kerosene add one of slightly sour milk; agitate and dilate 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 standard remedy, and one of the best, with full directions for use. Two sizes. Price 13 cents and 28 cents each, postpaid.

BUG KILLER... A new preparation for killing all kinds of bugs and pests that attack Roses. Box suffi- cient for two gallons of spray, 50 cents, 3 for $1.25, postpaid.

BORDEAUX MIXTURE (Dry.) For dusting plants affected with mildew, and all fungous diseases. Can be dissolved and used as a spray. 1 lb. box, 25c (makes 5 gallons liquid), postpaid; 5 lbs., $1, by express, collect.

How to Select the Proper Roses For All Climates Where the Temperature Does Not Fall Below Zero

As a rule, the Roses offered on pages 11 to 67, except some of the climbers on page 63—such as Marechal Niel. The Tea Roses on pages 37 to 48 need more pro- tection than others.

For the Extreme North

Where the winters are long and severe, such as the Hybrid Perpetuals on pages 49 to 55, the Moss, Rugo- sas, Wichurianas, Climbers on pages 58-60-61-62 will withstand winters without any protection, but better re- sults are secured if protection is given. Such Roses as the Hybrid Teas, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, Virginia R. Coxe, Souperts, Baby Ramblers, can be successfully grown if given the proper protection. We have custo- mers in Canada who state they have grown our Charles Dingee to perfection and have kept them in the open ground over winter. —

For the South and South-west

Any of the Roses offered in this book, but the Teas and Hybrid Teas, Baby Ramblers, Souperts, Polyanthas, and Bourbon Chinas are the most suitable. Climbing Roses on page 63, Climbing Maman Cochet on pages 58 and 59, and those offered on page 64.

For Trellises, Arbors, Gateways, Pergolas, Etc.

In the north such Climbing Roses on those offered on pages 58-60-61-62-64-65, Climbing American Beauty on page 86 and back cover, and those on page 63 marked M. H. and H. In the warmer climates any of the above, and all of those on page 63.

For Growing Roses for Cut Flowers

In greenhouses, such as Killarneys, American Beauty, Bride, Bridesmaid, Lady Hillingdon, Sunburst, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. For outdoor growing none are better adapted for this than the Cochets and Charles Dingee.

For Cemeteries

The Souperts and Baby Ramblers.

Buffalo, New York, Sept. 6, 1912.

Gentlemen,—It is a question quite open as to which of the two, Killarney or My Maryland, is the handsomer, and as for Charles Dingee, resort will have to be had to other than English for su- perlatives. Our language does not afford them. It has an in- dividuality different from any other Rose I ever saw and is easily at the first, with White Maman Cochet, with her exqul-

site buds, a close second. Yours truly, FRANCIS N.

Carefully

The most important essential in growing Roses and other plants successfully in the home yard or garden is:

First, to plant the best stock you can buy, and Secondly, you are sure of getting the first requisite.

The second re

buy from a reliable firm with a reputation to sustain and quisite is not earned in one year or ten years, but only

after long years of experience, which means you get the benefit of what we think is the most important feature of

this whole business.

Scientific Packing of Goods

Probably you have never thought of that feature, but after the growing of the plants there is no other feature so important. We have after sixty-three years of busi- ness experience the right to know how goods should be packed. We have served millions of flower buyers in all parts of the civilized world. We know what is re- quired in sending goods to the most distant points. It is needless for us to go into the details here of how it is possible for us, whether you live in West Grove, Pa., or whether you live in Portland, Oregon, or the most dis- tant point, to have goods reach you as fresh and green as if you called here personally at our establishment and selected the plants yourself. It is a wonderful feature of our business, this scientific packing. It makes you, in these modern days of quick transporta- tion, our next door neighbor. Many worthy men in this business have fallen by the wayside because they are unable to deliver the goods in a condition satis- factory to the purchaser.

We guarantee that our goods must reach their des- tination in absolutely perfect condition, satisfactory to you, or they will be duplicated or money refunded. You will not find many guarantees that cover the situa- tion as briefly and as concisely as this. You run ab- solutely no risk.

Dingee Roses Go and Grow Everywhere

For example, a customer in Lucea, Jamaica, B. W. I., writes: ‘“‘The Roses are growing very well indeed, Which shows how careful they are put up. (Signed) M. Dickson.’ Another, R. Abbey, Yokohama, Japan, says: “I beg to return you very sincere thanks for the Rose plants. They reached me in good condition and are now each making strong shoots.’’ Still another, S. Tikl, Gardener to Alex. Ferguson, Esq., Middlesex, Eng- land, says: ‘“‘The Roses arrived in a healthy condi- tion, considering the time they have been on the way, and we are well satisfied with them.”

We Prepay Express Charges

Now as to prepaying the charges, this we do on all orders of $5.00 and over, and it is a very desirable feature, for you know exactly how much you are pay- ing for the goods. The express rates in years gone by

have not been so reasonabie as they have been in the past year or so, and even to the most distant points delivery is quick, responsible and safe. Many of our friends knowing this to be a fact have their goods sent with charges collect, for there can be no extortionate

‘charges in these days, for the charge is fixed here at

the shipping point, and when the shipment is made with charges collect it permits, of course, our leaving more soil around the roots of the plants, which is an advantage. When we prepay the expre.s charges we leave sufficient soil to carry them safely to their desti- nation, for, bear in mind, we guarantee that they must be in good condition when they reach you. If you would like to have the benefit of heavier packing, however, you can advise us to ship the goods with charges col- lect. The desirable feature of having goods sent pre- paid is that you can get your neighbors interested with you, and by combining your orders they will very easily reach more than $5.00, the required total amount nec- essary to secure the benefit of the prepaid charge.

If your order amounts to less than $5.00 add 10 per cent and the express charges will be prepaid.

Complaints

When the goods reach you if there is any complaint to be made the complaint must be made within ten days, otherwise we cannot entertain it. There is no difficulty about sending goods to you, no matter where you live. It is a singular fact that our trade in Cali- fornia, where we ship with entire safety, is as large almost as our trade in Pennsylvania.

Parcels Post

As regards Parcel’s Post, of which we have read so much in the daily press, we wish to say that it is not an advantage in this business, with the exception that it permits the shipment of one package weighing up to 11 pounds, while the limit of weight of a single package heretofore has been 4 pounds. An insurance feature has been added that is desirable. We assume no responsibility for the safe carriage of goods other than by express, but will assume responsibility when sent by mail if 10c extra is included with the order, which insures the order up to a value of $50. This 10c is paid to the Post Office Department as their fee for this insurance. A great many of our friends will most likely take advantage of this desirable feature.

Complete Index of Roses Offered

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 offer plants on own roots only. They are far superior to budded or grafted Roses, which are always unsatisfactory. Our stock has been grown cool and without stimulants. Those who buy Roses from us will receive the best-grown plants in America at prices that are the lowest, quality of stock considered. We will fill your order in a 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.

On this and the three pages following we give a complete alphabetical list of all the Roses offered in this book, showing the class to which they belong, the page on which they are described, and the price of each.

We will be re- sponsible for the safe carriage of money sent us in any of these ways, and, if lost, will give full value. Please do not send stamps for money.

t Wonderful Bush Rose in the World

‘CHARLES DINGEE

Absolutely the Best and Most Beautiful Introduction of the Century

(See the colored photographic illustration on the front cover.)

To honor the name of Charles Dingee, we have pro- duced a Rose better than any other variety in cultiva- tion. We say without fear of contradiction that the Charles Dingee Rose is far-and-away the best garden Rose for general planting in the world.

It is always blooming, whether it is growing for us or growing with you. The flowers are beautiful beyond description, immense in size, deep, double and grandly formed. It is hardy everywhere.

The Charles Dingee Rose is the result of cross-breed- ing, between Hermosa, that grand old hardy pink va- riety, and White Maman Cochet, perhaps the greatest of all white garden Roses—a superb parentage, whicn insures its offspring every point of excellence. With the hardy, vigorous constitution of a Hybrid Perpetual, growing to perfection in almost any soil or situation, it has the most magnificent foliage, absolutely free from disease, that w@ have ever seen on any Rose.

If there ever was a rose that has made its impression on the minds and hearts of those who have secured it, it is the Charles Dingee. It has completely revolution-

Caution We are the originators and sole owners of the Charles Dingee Rose. We have the original plant from which it was grown to prove

plicates of it are intended to deceive.

ized the possibilities of rose growing, in the home, yara or garden, for no matter where you live, it will thrive and if you have no yard or garden wherein to plant it, it will grow in a living room with more freedom than a Geranium. What rose can compare to it?

It is a tremendous grower, the best in our entire list of over 800 varieties. It grows as sturdy as an ozkK to amazing perfection in almost any soil or situation. If you have a place where other roses have failed in that spot, Charles Dingee will flourish and produce its gor- geous flowers with wonderful profusion. We have had it growing and blooming in all its glory in a tempera- ture very little above freezing. Growing to a height of 2 to 3 feet, Charles Dingee blooms continuously, produc- ing immense, deep, double, grandly formed flowers on long, stiff erect stems; both in bud and bloom their beauty is nothing short of superb, practically imposs!- ble to describe because of the delicate blending of colors —rose tints in the center of flower, gradually shading off into pale blush creamy white, a color effect both entirely new and distinct, exquisitely beautiful.

Dear Sirs,—Permit me to say I never had lovelier Roses than this year from your lovely plants. All grew and done well, loaded with beautiful, sweet-scented Roses this year. They were greatly admired here, as people told me American Flowers or Roses would not grow in Ireland, but they found their mistake this year by seeing 10 fine healthy bushes, with as much as 80 blooms on one. A lovelier sight you could not have seen. Yours truly,

The Three Magnificent

American

Beauties

Crimson, Pink and White

If any Rose has earned the title of the “‘National Rose’”’ wt is- American Beauty. Wherever the Rose is known, it is the queen, and deservedly so. In size. color, form and fragrance it has no equal. Of quick, healthy, bushy growth, either in pots or outdoors, with magnificent foliage, it produces in abundance glo- rious buds and large, deep, double flowers of immense size. The three kinds below make a gorgeous combination.

Crimson American Beauty

American Beauty is splendid for open-ground culture, and is hardy in nearly all localities, except where the winters are particularly severe, provided the true stock is planted. Our plants are grown in specially prepared soil by our own expert growers. We guarantee our plants to be true to name, absolutely first-class in every particular. Color, rich crimson, charmingly shaded and veined. As the flowers expand, their beauty seems to be enhanced rather than diminished. The fragrance is not excelled by any Rose known.

(Stock limited.)

Pink American Beauty Queen of Edgely

We believe we are the only house offering this beautiful new variety, which is identical in every way with American Beauty, of which it is an offspring, except in color, which is soft, rich pink, fading still lighter as the flower grows older. Has the same large, massive, cup-shaped flowers and fragrance; in short, it is a lovely blonde full sister to the dark brunette, American Beauty. Ours is the original stock, not to be had elsewhere. Extra strong, one-year-old plants, from 3 and 34%-inch pots, 35c each, 3 for $1: larger size, 50c each, postpaid; extra strong, two-year-old plants, special stock, 85c each.

This brilliant white type Rose has become renowned as the very highest type of its class and the best snow- white Rose ever introduced. It is an extraordinarily strong grower, branching freely, and has the vigor and hardiness of an oak. Large, heavy foliage and magnificent flowers that are nothing less than glorious—im- mense in size and produced with great freedom on long, stiff stems. The color is marvelously white, without a tinge of yellow or any other shade. Hardy everywhere. We make a specialty of this wonderful variety, our stock is absolutely true to name; this we guarantee.

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 busi- ness, having been the first house to eall 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 elass combines the continuous-blooming quality of the Ever-blooming 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 be- cause 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 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 chiocest 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—best in the world.

The Killarney Roses are Magnificent Bloomers.

La Harpe, Kansas. Dear Sirs:—Last year I ordered over thirty Tea Roses and eight Climbing Roses of your firm, and I want to tell you what good luck I had with them. Every one lived and grew just fine and have bloomed profusely all Summer. They grew to be such large bushes. A number of them are now five feet high and very large stalks. I cannot describe to you the beauty of the Roses. My husband and I are considering ourselves fortunate in deciding to send to you and expect to order more in the Spring. Respectfully yours, MRS. BRUCE BORIN.

Bride and Bridesmaid.

Dingee Hardy Everblooming Tea Roses

Tea Roses form the foundation of nearly all the great Roses of today. 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. Rug 1t]

ged, health nd 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 intro-

ducer 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 can safely rely upon full satisfaction, for that is guaranteed at all times by us.

Prices of all Hardy, Everblooming Tea Roses where noted, 15 cts. each: $1 for any 9; larger size, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts., postpaid; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each. Varieties marked with a (*) in three-year-old plants,

One year ago, among several other Roses, I ordered a two-year-old Charles Dingee Rose. It bloomed nicely during the season, and when winter came I gave it the same care I did some fifty

others. The Winter here was very severe and I lost several, while others died down to the ground, all but my Charles Dingee. It stood the long, cold winter fine, and was my first Rose to bloom. Today, Decoration Day, I picked four lovely blossoms. Yours truly, MRS. A. H. LIGHTNER.

With these and the many others in this book, we feel that we have reached what we believe to be the high- est perfection in Rose-growing—sixty years of experience is either worth something, or experience counts for naught, and today the name of Dingee in connection 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 unques- tioned quality back of their work, can make such names as these stand out as shining lights in the business

Dingee Famous Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses

There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual 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, fr‘ ntly measuring 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and are deliciously fragrant. These Roses will succeed in r |

are so hardy that they will live through the severest winters with but a light protection of leaves or rst manure. Some of the kinds do not bloom until the second year, but, when fully established, they ll 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 n

suitable for house culture. Our collection of Hybrid Perpetuals is by far the best in the country TI plants

we send out are strong and hearty and on own roots. 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 “‘Iron-Clad Roses,” a color plate of which is shown on page 20.

Prices of all Roses in this section, except where noted, 15 cts. each: any 4 for 50 cts.: 9 for $1: larger size, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; two-year-old plants, 45 cts. each. Varieties marked with a star (*) in extra-heavy, three-year-old plants, on own roots, 75 cts. each, by express. Remember we prepay all shipping charges on orders of $5.00 or over.

Bethlehem, Pa., September 29, 1912 Gentlemen:—I have received the Fall book on Roses and bulbs and am de- lighted with same. I shall no doubt make a selection from this book, as I am now assured of the merit of Dingee plants. Of the seven two-year-old Rose bushes, which you will find I received May 2nd of this year, only two have failed

to bloom, but they promise a wealth of bloom next year, evident by the number of strong shoots which they are producing. The Charles Dingee has bloomed this year, and the blooms were specimens, glorious in color and stately in carriage. Yours respectfully, EDW. L. LEHMAN.

Bedding Effect of the Baby Ramblers.

The Famous Crimson Baby Rambler

One of the most useful and ornamental Roses yet in- troduced. It blooms in immense clusters similar to Crimson Rambler, every day in 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. Extra-heavy, strong, three- and four- year-old plants, 75 cts. each, by express.

The Lovely Anny Muller

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 great- est profusion in large clusters. It is a splendid com- panion for the other excellent members of this family. Strong, three-year-old plants, on own roots, 75 cts, by express.

Double White Baby Rambler

A most beautiful companion to the Crimson Baby Rambler, growing to the same height, and bearing great masses of double, pure white flowers, covering the plant as with a mantle. The Roses are delightfully scented, reminding one somewhat of a hyacinth. First size, from pots 3 and 3% inches in diameter, 20 cts. each, 6 for $1; larger size, 25 cts. each, 5 for $1; two- year-old plants, 45 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 in- dividual 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.; large size, 25 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 45 cts. each; three-year-old plants, 75 cts. each.

57

Baby Dorothy

This magnificent Baby Rambler is equally as meri- torious, 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.

Mrs. Wm. H. Cutbush

One of the very finest types of the Baby Rambler Roses. Of dwarf growth, producing in constant pro- fusion 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, 45 cts. each.

Phyllis

Considered by many to be the most popular of the

Pink Baby Ramblers. The color is the shade of the Lawson Carnation—beautiful carmine-pink. Grows to a height of two feet; very hardy; always in bloom;

flowers are produced in continuous succession in large clusters. Exceedingly desirable.

Jessie

Of all the “‘Baby Ramblers’’—the type of Rose which is growing more popular each year, for bedding pur- poses—this new variety bids fair to outstrip the others in popularity. The flowers are of a brilliont crimson, much the color of a Richmond Rose and are borne in huge clusters from early in the season until frost.

on all orders of $5.00 and over to any place in U. S. and on orders less than that amount if you add 10% thereto.

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. 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 old tried and true favorites which may be found spread- ing 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 distin- guishing 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, $1 for any 9; larger size, 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts. postpaid, two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. Varieties marked with (*) in three- and four-year-old plants, 75 cts. each, by express.

*Climbing White Maman Cochet

(See photographic illustrdtion 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 delightful- ly 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 speci- men of the White Maman Cochet Rose, are borne in the greatest profusion, fairly covering the plant all summer, for it is one of the most constant bloomers of all the white climbing Roses. It is ab- solutely 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 mislead into buying this Rose without a guar- antee of its genuineness. First size, strong plants from pots 3 and 3144 inches in diameter, 20 cts. each, 6 for $1; larger size, 30 cts. each; two-year-old plants, very large, 50 cts. each. Immense, field- grown plants, three-years-old, 75 cts. each, stock limited, and early ordering will be necessary to secure them.

* American Pillar

A new Climber of extremely vigorous habit of growth, the bushes being clothed in lively green from earliest spring until late in the fall. The flowers are produced in profusion, fairly covering the bush, and their pretty pink color is a delight to the eye. In the fall, the flowers are followed by large clusters of attractive red berries, which are highly ornamental. Planted singly or in groups on the lawn, this Rose is sure to evoke favorable comment. Strong young plants, 25 cts. each, 5 for $1; larger size, 35 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; three- and four-year-old plants, 75 cts. each.

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 won- derfully strong and growing, hardy and vigorous, and in constant bloom all summer. In the middle sections 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.

Climbing Killarney

Three years ago we offered for the first time a climb- ing type of the famous pink Rose, Killarney, the most celebated Hybrid Tea of its color yet introduced. Re- peated 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 climbin= habit of growth, placing it at once in a elass 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 con- tinuously throughout the season, and the flowers are magnificent beyond description, immense, long, pointed buds with massive petals, opening into flowers of enor- mous size; color deep pink, bright and sparkling, an exquisite shade, deliciously fragrant; in fact, one of the greatest new Roses we ever offered. Our illustration on the opposite page gives a slight idea of its marve- lous beauty. Our stock is limited, and orders will be filled in strict rotation. Early orders are therefore ad- visable, 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 3% 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; ex- tra-size, two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each, $5.00 per dozen, by express. Shipping charges paid on orders amounting to $5.00 or over.

Dingee Chrysanthemums

Since the introduction of these lovely autumn-flowering plants into Europe, some two hundred years ago, they have been de- veloped to a wonderful extent. Those who have in mind the small, old garden varieties cannot imagine the exquisite beauty of the newer sorts. They produce enormous massive flowers of most beautiful colors and perfect shape. Their culture is the easiest. See “‘How to Grow Them’ below, and if further infor- mation is desired it will be furnished upon application.

Our collection contains the best and most beautiful of the newer varieties as well as the choicest of the standard sorts. We offer them at prices within the reach of all, as we would like to see them growing in every garden and in every home.

Chrysanthemums; How to Grow Them

By an Amateur

I am glad to give you all the information I can in regard to the methods employed in growing my Chrysanthemums. I am an amateur and have gotten splendid results, as the photograph I send will show, and this without the aid of a greenhouse. I hope that the information I can give will prove valuable to others in cultivating Chrysanthemums, the loveliest flower that I know of, and one that gives a greater reward for pains taken in its culture than any other.

Procure good, strong plants from reliable florists by the first of June. Put them in 3- or 4-inch pots at first, in good, rich soil, and plunge the pots in the ground, or, better still, dig a trench and set the pots in it, filling in around with coal ashes. This keeps the worms out of the pots and keeps the roots nice and cool. Chrysanthemums require lots of water, and should never be allowed to become dry. Evening or early morning is the best time to water. Water and shower thoroughly, as one good watering is worth half a dozen if only half done. Repot the plants about twice, first in a 6-inch and last in an 8-inch pot. Make the soil a little richer each time the plants are re- potted. The plant can also be mulched with manure, which answers the double purpose of keeping the roots cool and moist and also furnishes food for the plant. As soon as the buds form in the Fall it is better to add a little manure water when sprink- ling, weak at first, but gradually adding more, increasing the watering until it can be used every day. For insects, such as black aphis, use tobacco dust. If large flowers are desired, pinch off all buds and allow only a few to bloom. If a big single flower is desired, pinch off all the side branches, leaving only the crown bud to bloom. After the frosty nights come in the Fall the pots are taken in the house and kept in a cool room, where the flowers will develop and remain nice for a long time.

Hardy Rhododendrons

There is a charm about the Rhododendron not possessed by any other shrub in the garden. It is a perfect evergreen, and its broad, rich-green foliage adds beauty to the grounds the year round. In June and July it bears great clusters of glorious large flowers of all shades of red, pink, white and purple. Rhododen- drons should be planted on the north side of the house, under trees or high shrubbery, or in some partly shaded place. We have a magnificent lot of plants, each with 10 to 15 buds which eannot fail to open this year. In ordering please specify colors wanted. Our plants are in fine condition, 2 to 3 feet high, with their roots well protected with moss and burlap. $1.50 each.

Beautiful shape.

Dingee Surpassing Dahlias

These popular flowers are a great specialty with us and our collection contains the finest new and old varieties. Dahlias succeed in any soil or situation. They bloom profusely, beginning about the first of August and continuing until killed by frost, producing flowers of magnificent form and exquisite colors. After blooming, the roots should be taken up and win- tered in a dry cellar. Plant them freely. Their gorgeous flowers, coming, as they do, when almost all other flowers have vanished, will amply repay their trifling cost. A small collection will make a magnificent display.

All Dahlias supplied in strong-growing plants, which give better results than roots for the same reason that one stalk of corn in a hill will produce @ finer ear than if there were 8 or 10 stalks together, coming into bloom

earlier and producing a greater profusion of flowers. rely upon our experience in this particular.

: The best Lawn Grass Mixture for general sowing, as proven by careful Dingee Special Lawn Grass See experiment and comparison. It produces a smooth, velvety green sward of attractive appearance. In preparing the ground for seeding, break it 10 to 12 inches deep with plow or spade and pulverize thor- oughly. The surface should be raked perfectly level to prevent the formation of pools after heavy rainfalls. Sow the seed carefully and evenly at the rate of one quart to a space equal to 15 x 20 feet; two bushels will sow one acre. After sowing, cover the seed by raking or harrowing it. Rolling is also in general practice. 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 practised, 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 re- moved, leaving the surface clean. To renovate lawn, loosen soil on the bare spots with a steel rake. After sowing a little quantity of seed, roll or rake again to cover the seed. Price: By mail, 45c. per Ib.; in bulk, by express at purchaser’s expense, 35c. per Ib.

California Privet

The One Best Hedge Plant, Combining Beauty, Hardi- ness and Efficiency

California Privet has long been recognized as the one very best plant for Hedge purposes, as it is remarkable for its beautiful, dark-green, glossy foliage, its quick, strong and symmetrical growth, its freedom from in- sects and scale, and its ability to withstand pruning and trimming into any desired shape.

For many years we have made a specialty of grow- ing California Privet for Hedges, and our stock cannot be surpassed anywhere. It is strong, thrifty and in the best of shape for transplanting. Each one a specimen plant. We have it in all sizes, from one-year-old plants to large, vigorous bushes which can be used with telling effect in the formation of an immediate hedge. These large plants are the most economical to buy, for with them the years of tedious waiting for the hedge to grow will be avoided.

Our California Privet is not grown by the usual nur- seryman‘s method, but is as carefully propagated as other higher-priced shrubs. By frequent transplanting the plants are kept bushy to the ground, and will soon form a splendid hedge. We have an immense surplus stock, and have made the prices exceedingly low. One of the best bargains of the year awaits you.

First size, 15 to 24 inches, 10c each, 6 for 50c, post- paid, $3 per 100, by express or freight at purchaser’s expense. Second size, 3 to 4 feet, 15c each, 5 for 50c, $6 per 100, by express or freight at purchaser’s expense. Extra large, 5-foot plants, specimens, 20c each, $10 per 100.

Magnificent Dingee Tree or Standard Roses

Tree 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 country a lawn 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 un- alloyed satisfaction.
