Awarded a Silver Medal 


In competition with the Rose Growers of the World our 
Roses were awarded a Silver Medal at the Panama-Pacific 
Exposition at San Francisco. The rose “Charles Dingee’’ 
was one of the varieties.

Dingee— Roses 


THE BEST AND FAR FAMED FOR SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS 


Where and whenever Roses are spoken of the 
name “Dingee”’ is also mentioned. For over half 
a Century the two have been so closely associated 
that they are synonymous. There are but few of 
you that cannot recall your grandparents speaking 
of “DINGEE ROSES” and what great satisfaction 
and pleasure they had with them. Many of these 
same Roses are still growing and blooming today 
in the gardens of their descendants, which strongly 
attest to the sterling quality of the plants. 

First and foremost, we are and have been for 
Over sixty-seven years, Rose growers, producing our 
own stock—and always the best. We are not com- 
mission men nor do we grow plants of inferior 
quality to meet a low priced competition. Our 
Roses will grow and bloom 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 department 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 that the dor- 
mant, leafless, wild-root, nursery-grown stock, and 
we sell them at one-third the cost. We take all the 
risk—you take none. 

With the most modern and largest equipment for 
supplying high grade stock in America, we bring to 
you sixty-seven years of accumulated skill and ex- 
perience—our life’s work among Roses. We guar- 
antee that all goods must reach you in first-class 
condition, no matter where you live in the U. S. A., 
or money back or goods duplicated, whichever you 
prefer. Sixty-seven years of business integrity, dur- 
ing which time we have served millions of rose-lovers 
in all parts of the universe, gives our assurance 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 reserve the goods for 
you or ship whenever you direct.

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 perfec- 
tion 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 the same va- 
ricties 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 success- 
fully in Canada. 


Preparation of Beds 


The way 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 that depth, well pulverized and mixed with from 
one-third to one-fourth its bulk with well-rotted 
animal manure. cow stable manure preferable where 
it can be obtained. Before filling in. the bed it is 
well to put in some material for drainage, such as 
soft coal cinders, broken crockery 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 necessary 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 bets 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 should 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 ob- 
tain 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 farther 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. They will. however, do well in other locations 
if given the necessary care. Roses do hetter if they 
are watered in the morning. 


Fertilizer 


This is a question we are frequently requested to 
answer. Animal manure from one to two years old 


SS SS™”—_:> 


Cow manure 
is generally preferred, and can be used in fresh con- 


where it can be obtained is the best. 


dition. Horse manure when new is very heating 
and should not be used while in this condition, ex- 
cept as a winter mulch. Hog, sheep and chicken 
manure are also very useful. The last two, how- 
ever, should be used sparingly. Ground bone is 
beneficial, but should be secured as fine as possible, 
and it shoud be used sparingly. 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. 
Air slaked lime is also beneficial, about a cupful to 
a plant scattered on the surface in early spring and 
mid-summer. A mulching of cow stablé manure is 
very beneficial during the growing season. It helps 
to retain the moisture during the dry season, as 
well as a food for the roots. 


Planting 


As soon as the plants are received it is best to 
immediately plant, yet if it is impossible to do this 
the plant 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. When 
you receive them they will be wrapped in Sphagnum 
Moss. which should be removed before planting, as 
it is used only for protection. Water freely from 
time to time. The roots should be covered with 
soil or burlap and never allowed to become dry. 
Soaking the roots in lukewarm water or thin mud 
for an hour or two before planting to restore their 
vitality is beneficial. Do not set the plants too shal- 
low. They should be planted 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. If you receive them with the soil on 
the roots in which they have been growing, do not 
remove this soil, but simply loosen it if packed in a 
hard ball. Give them as near a natural position as 
possible. Use plenty of water after planting and 
shade for a few days if the sun is hot, with news- 
paper or similar material, and if the season is a dry 
one an occasional watering will be beneficial. The 
best time to plant Roses such as we send out, 
being pot-grown, own-root stock, is in early spring. 
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 
shoud be set out earlier than pot-grown plants. 


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 dor- 
mant or field-grown plants are secured they should 
be pruned back before planting. Pruning can be 
done at any season of the year with a certain class 
of Roses, but it is a matter to be governed by the 
judgment of the possessor of the plants. The best

time for pruning is 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 sea- 
son’s growth. The larger and heavier the growth 
the more it should be trimmed. 


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, Har- 
rison’s Yellow, etc., very little protection, if any, 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 Hybrid Teas it is a good 
plan to mound the earth about each plant, or use 
clean sand about six inches deep, 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. 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 Ram- 
bler. It is shown by a grayish crinkling appearance 
of the leaves and usually occurs after a change in 
the temperature. It can be checked to a certain 
extent by sprinkling the leaves with powdered sul- 
phur immediately after its appearance. If, however, 
this does not check it, dissolve one ounce of potas- 
sium sulphuret in twe gallons of cold water and 
apply a fine spray. 

GREEN FLY OR APHIS—A.green suckling in- 
sect which usually gathers in great numbers upon 
the tips of the new growth. A solution of tobacco 
made from tobacco insecticide soap, which you will 
find offered elsewhere in this book, will 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 but- 
terfly, and lay 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 earliest summer, some- 
times in great quantities, 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 
preparations can be applied by the Tyrian Plant 
Sprinkler or the Auto-Spray, the price of which will 
be found elsewhere in this book. 


BLACK SPOT—A fungous 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 Leas 


_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 with 
Bordeaux Mixture 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, 
so a watch should be kept and as soon as any leaves 
appear affected with the disease 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—Haridness in a Rose is a matter of 
which no one can speak with positive certainty, be- 
cause the condition of the weather as a rule pre- 
scribes the hardiness of a plant, as quite frequently 
plants that have been out year after year will be 
winter-killed by unusual conditions. 

KEROSENE EMULSION—To two quarts 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 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 
sufficient for two gallons of spray, 50 cents, 3 for 
$1.25. postpaid. 

BORDEAUX MIXTURE (Dry)—For dusting 
plants affected with mildew and all fungous dis- 
eases. Can be dissolved and used as a spray. 1-lb. 
box, 35c¢ (makes 5 gallons liquid), postpaid. 


FOR TRELLISES, ARBORS, GATEWAYS, 
PERGOLAS, ETC.—In the North such Climbifig 
Roses as those offered on pages 66 to 74. Climbing 
American Beauty on cover, and those on page 78 
marked M. H. and H. In the warmer climates any 
of the above and all of those on pages 75 to 78. 


FOR GROWING ROSES FOR CUT FLOWERS 
—In greenhouses, such as Killarneys, American 
Beauty, Bride, Bridesmaid, Milady, Ophelia, My 
Maryland, Lady Hillingdon, Sunburst, Kaiserin Au- 
gusta Victoria. For outdoor growing for cut-flower 
purposes none are better adapted for this than the 
Cochets and Charles Dingee. 


FOR CEMETERIES—The Souperts. Baby Ram- 
blers, and Memorial or Wichuraiana.

been sending these own root plants to every 
State in the country for over fifty years. 
Budded Roses seem so much larger and 
stronger than own root plants that anyone is 
apt to be deceived and induced to 
buy them. Read what others say 
about them, and purchase from 
reliable houses who have made 
the business a life work. 


The budding is usually done 
on wild Mannettia Rose stalks 
by taking a bud from the 
original plant and inserting 
it under the bark of the Ma- 
nettia and binding it there- 
on, as in Illustration No. 5. 
The first year the budded Rose makes a rapid, soft growth, 
probably producing some blooms, but the second year the wild 
root begins to assert itself and grows with tremendous vigor, 
throwing out wild shoots from the roots, thus sapping the life 
from the top, which usually dies, as in illustration No. 4. 
Note the shoot from the side with the foliage thereon, which 
is the wild Rose that will not bloom, nor is it ornamental; 
also note the dead branches of the original Rose budded there- 
This is an actual photograph of a two-year budded 
ose. 

Anyone who wants Roses and not wild shrubbery should buy 
only the best, or Roses grown on Their Own Roots. Such are 
the Dingee Roses, known the world over. We.sometimes won- 
der why these budded Roses are offered by some firms; selling 
them to an unknown and unsuspecting public, but, as Barnum 
said, ‘‘American people like to be humbugged.” We are con- 
tent to adhere to the principles laid down by the founder of 
this business, who, notwithstanding the many ridiculous claims 
put forth by men who were yet unborn when Mr. Dingee was

E OwniRbat vs. Budded Roses 


When our business was established, over 60 years ago, by the founder, 
Charles Dingee, budded and grafted Roses were the only kind to be had. 
They were as unsatisfactory then as they are now, 
conceived the idea of producing Roses, for American homes and gar- 
dens, grown on own roots in America and not in Europe. Other hon- 
orable gentlemen are engaged in the business in other parts of the 
country but we are the original producers and, notwithstanding the 
wild and unfounded claims of new firms, whose claim of ancient origin 
is by the vagary of a covetous imagination, the original “House of 
Dingee” still continues under the management of the founder’s family, 
following in his footsteps and adhering tenaciously to the honorable 
traditions which he established for truth in advertising and reliability. 
and has inherited his intense contempt for sham and deceit. 
misled. If you want permanent Roses secure own root plants. We have

Don’t be 


active in the business of producing Own Root Roses, now claim 
to have invented this method of production. 

An own-root plant is started by taking a portion of a branch 
irom the mother plant and putting in sand until the roots are 
formed at the bottom, as illustrated in No. 1. This is what is 
known as a rooted cutting. Note how the fibrous roots are 
formed. In illustration No. 2 we have a first size own root 
plant grown in pots. No. 3 illustrates a two-year-old plant 
grown in a four or five-inch pot. Note the fibrous roots, which 
soon establish themselves in the soil after planting; also how 
each shoot or branch is crowned with a bud; how these 
branches are formed and how the increase in size is made up 
by making new shoots, Compare this photograph with the 
one of the budded plant (No. 4) and note how different 
A budded plant cannot increase in size unless the increase is 
made on the weak budded branch and then very seldom, but 
Own Root Roses increase in size each year, unless destroyed, 
and are permanent, producing finer and better blooms each 
season. Thev are the only Roses suitable for the varying 
climatic conditions of our country, and we cannot emphasize 
too strongly the importance of knowing the kind of plants 
you are getting before placing an order for them. What a 
success these own root roses have been are told by a few of 
the many testimonials we receive each year unsolicited from 
many thousands of satisfied customers, and published else- 
where in this book.

Terms 


Our terms are cash with order, except where sat- 
isfactory bank reference is given, when we will 


gladly open an account. Goods will be shipped C. 
O. D., if one-half of amount is remitted with order. 
Money may be sent at our risk by Post Office Order, 
Express Money Order, Bank Draft, Money (not 
stamps) in Registered Letter. We will be respon- 
sible for the safe carriage of money sent us by any 
of these ways, and, if lost, we will give full value. 
Please do not send stamps for money. They often 
come stuck together, or stuck to the letter, so that 
they cannot be taken out except by soaking. Can- 
adian customers can remit by International Money 
Order on West Grove, Bank Draft, or currency in 
Registered Letter. Canadian postage stamps have 
no value here. 


Our Guarantee 


We guarantee that our goods must reach their 
destination in good condition, satisfactory to you, 
or they will be duplicated or money refunded. You 
will not find many guarantees that cover the situ- 
ation as briefly and as concisely as this. You run 
absolutely no risk. 

Sixty-seven years of business integrity. during 
which time we have served millions of Rose lovers 
in all parts of the universe, gives our assurance 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 reserve the goods for 
you and ship whenever you direct, guaranteeing 
absolute satisfaction, honorable treatment and $1.00 
worth of goods for every dollar sent us. Our word 
for it that you will be satisfied in every particular. 


WE GIVE, HOWEVER, NO WARRANTY, ex- 
press or implied, as to any description, quality, pro- 
ductiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs 
or plants we send out, and we will not be in any way 
responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not 
accept the goods on these terms, they are at once 
to be returned. 

Quite frequently a Rose, for some reason that we 
are unable to explain, will produce a bloom some- 
what different from description given, especially the 
first blooms that are produced, “that we cannot en- 
tertain complaints along this line. We exercise the 
utmost care in handling stock and filling orders and 
rarely a mistake of this kind occurs. 


COMPLAINTS—When the goods reach you, if 
there is any complaint it must be made within ten 
days, otherwise we cannot entertain it. 


How We Ship 


The goods offered at postpaid prices are shipped 
by mail postpaid. The first size or one-year plants 
and the extra size Roses are usually sent in this 
way, but we recommend express shipments (at your 
““expense) on account of being able to leave the soil 
on the roots in which they have been growing, thus 
reaching you in much better condition than if sent 
by mail, when it is necessary to remove the soil 
and wrap in damp moss and wax paper. 

The two- and three-year-old plants of Roses, 


Shrubs, etc, are always sent by express at your ex- 
pense, regardless of the number ordered, unless 
specifically requested to send by mail, and if so, add | 
5c per plant and we will ship by parcel post. 


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-seven 
years of business 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 required 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 distant point, to 
have goods reach you as fresh and green as if you 
called here personally at our establishment and se- 
lected the plants yourself. It is a wonderful fea- 
ture of our business, this scientific packing. It 
makes you, in these modern days of quick transpor- 
tation, our next-door neighbor. 


Instructions for Ordering 


PLEASE OBSERVE CAREFULLY—When or- 
dering, please use the order sheet provided for that 
purpose whenever possible. Simply fill up the blanks 
giving the number and name of the varieties wanted, 
with size and price; we will understand. 

ORDER EARLY—Many of our customers order 
early, and the plants are set aside; the earlier you 
order the better. We will book for delivery when- 
ever you direct, or at the time we consider proper to 
plant such stock ordered. 

PARCEL POST C. O. D.—If you desire your 
order, no matter how small, sent C. O. D. by Parcel 
Post we can do so at an additional cost of only 10 
cents, and the small fee for the money order, which 
is 3 cents up to $2.50; 5 cents up to $5.00, making it 
much cheaper than by express, as you have no ex- 
press charges and additional charge for returning 
money. 

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS—Canadian laws pro- 
hibit sending dormant Roses or Shrubs into Canada 
except from March 15 to May 15, and from October 
7 to December 7. All other goods, including our 
pot-grown Roses, from 3%-inch pots and smaller, 
grown under glass, are admitted at any time. 

FOREIGN ORDERS—Twenty per cent extra 
should be added to orders going outside of United 
States proper to pay extra cost of packing and post- 
age. To countries with which we have a parcel 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, prepay the ocean charges 
and forward them. 

CLUB ORDERS—To induce our customers to 
make up club orders among their friends, we make 
special attractive inducements. The only require- 
ments are that the club shall consist of five club 
names, including the clubber, and that the order 
shall amount to not less than $10.00 in cash. Write

TS) FOUNDED @ 


Gentlemen:—The Roses I purchased from you the past 
spring are all doing splendid. I cannot say too much in 
praise of the Rose Jonkheer J. L. Mock. It has been bloom- 
ing profusely for the past two months. It is a Rose of un- 
usual beauty. During my many years experience in Rose 
growing I have found no Rose I consider superior to this 
xzreat Rose. Among the other great Roses purchased from 
you in recent years are Charles Dingee. Bessie Brown, Prin- 
cess of Naples, Lady Ashtown and J. B. Varonne. 

Wishing you continued success, I am 

Very truly yours, J. T. A. STROUP. 


' Beverly, Massachusetts, July 23, 1917. 
_Dear Sirs:--The bush Rose has arrived in very good con- 
dition and is even better than I expected it to be: a fine, 
large, healthy bush. I thank you sincerely for it. My 
Charles Dingee bush is growing splendidly. Everything that 
I ever bought of your firm has been first rate. 
Thanking you again for your kindness, I am, 
Sincerely yours, HELEN T. ALLEN.

Baltimore, Maryland. October 30, 1917. Westfield, "Wisconsin, Sept. 15. 1917. 


Gentlemen :—In appreciation of the Roses I received this 
spring, I have never seen such healthy, verile plants seld as 
first year size. ‘They just insisted on growing and bloomed 
at the same time. The extra Rose bloomed first. Thank 
you for it, and Charles Dingee is wonderful. 

Very truly, 
J. STUART HAMILTON. 


Baltimore, Maryland, Jan. 17, 1917. 
Dear Sirs:—My mother bought some Roses from you many 
years ago, and they were all that you claimed for them. 
Please send me your 1917 catalogue. New Guide to Rose 
Culture. Yours truly, 
MRS. H. F. BARRANGER. 


Fairmead, California, Jan. 15, 1917. 
Dear Sirs:—Fifteen years ago I started my Rose garden 
from your nursery. and now having moved to a new home 
must start again. Your Roses were always satisfactory. 
Sincerely, MRS. R. M. HOBBS.

feet in length. ..The. flowers

HE ROSES listed on this and 

the three following Sts com- 

prise the best, latest and most 
beautiful productions of the famous 
Rosarians, and all lands have con- 
tributed to this collection. We have 
spared no expense or effort in se- 
curing them. The United States 
Department of Agriculture, through 
its collectors in various parts of the 
world, have contributed to this list 
and it stands without a rival in this 
or any other country. and we offer 
them only after a careful watching 
of-the habits and adaptability for 
outdoor culture suitable for our cli- 
mate. »The one-year-old plants are 
strong and sturdy, while the two- 
year-old plants are magnificent, 
strong bushes which will take hold 
immediately when planted, grow vig- 
orously and bloom profusely. These 
are the largest and finest Roses ever 
sold, and are in keeping with the 
high quality which has made Dingee 
Roses famous the world over. All 
grown on their own roots. Not bud- 
ded, which is the usual kind secured 
in the new varieties. These are the 
best of the latest introductions, and 
have all been pfoven to be just what 
they are represented. The stock of 
these new kinds is naturally limited, 
and orders are filled in rotation as 
they are received. We therefore sug- 
gest placing your order early for 
these kinds and we will reserve them 
for you, and ship when desired or at 


the proper planting time. “Rose H. Vv. Machin,

among Hybrid Teas. Is very sweetly perfumed.

*Ophelia 


This new Hybrid Tea Rose has the brightest fu- 
ture, in our estimation, of any Rose introduced for 
the last quarter century. The color is one so diffi- 
cult to describe that any description can only be a 
partial one, and gives but a faint idea of the superb 
beauty and richness of the shades. Salmon-flesh, 
shaded with rose. Buds of unusual attractiveness. 
opening full and double. Habit excellent, growth 
strong, produces flowers on long stems, well up 
above the foliage, and in great profusion all sum- 
mer. Hardy in almost all localities” Grand ~ for

(Illustrated in Natural Colors on Front Cover.) 

(Hybrid Tea).—No Rose has yet equalled, cer- 
tainly none has excelled Radiance as a garden Rose, 
when all points are taken into consideration, such 
as hardiness, freedom of bloom, vigorous growth 
and character of bloom. In Red Radiance we have 
an exact replica of its prototype, Radiance, except 
in color and bud. The color is a splendid even 
shade of clear red, without a trace of any other 
color, retaining its vividness for an unusually long 
time after being cut. It is a remarkable bloomer, 
being constantly in flower, from early spring until 
freezing weather. Strong, vigorous, branching 
grower, each branch terminating in a large, 
bold, double bloom. Hardy everywhere. 
Altogether it is a Rose destined to become 
one of the-leading garden Roses of America.

Hoosier Beauty 


This beautiful Rose is fragrant as Rich- 
mond; has more petals, a stiffer stem. a 
texture like velvet. In color, glowing crim- 
son scarlet, with darker shadings. The bud 
is of good length, keeps well in the close- 
cut state, and opens into magnificent bloom, 
quite dazzling in its velvety brilliance. As 
soon as thoroughly established in the soil 
it sends out long, stiff growth with a bud 
on every shoot. Produces, naturally, stems 
2 to 3 feet in length; each plant keeps up a 
very close succession of bloom, and again 
unlike Richmond it is a good summer Rose. 
It is an easy grower. and has become in- 
stantly popular and in heavy demand in 
the cities where blooms have been sold, 
flower buyers through the section calling 
for it by name. We believe this Rose will 
make its mark as a garden variety. Strong,

brilliancy at all seasons of the year. The 
variety is double and buds are well form- 
ed. The fragrance is excelled only by 
American Beauty. It is a strong. rapid 
grower; the flowers are borne on long, 
stiff stems, well above the foliage. It 
has proven itself under thorough trial to 
be an all-the-year round forcing variety. 
Price, strong first size plants, 25c each, postpaid; 
two-year-old plants, 50c each, by express. Still 
larger or specimen plants from 6 and 7 inch pots,

time and has the delightful fragrance. The color 
is a delicate pearly but deep ivory cream, faintly 
flushed. Price, first size plants, 25c each; 5 for 
$1.00, postpaid. Large two-year-old plants, 60c 
each, by express. All on own roots.

pink,which produces a most charming combina-

ey es For Immediate Effect 


We were the first Growers in America to pro- 
duce at popular prices, the extra heavy. own- | 
root Rose bush. The demand for these magnifi- | 
cent specimen plants made it necessary to pro- 
vide especially for them. To that end we built a | 
mammoth greenhouse addition to our establish- | 

| 


ment where with special methods, specially pre- 
pared soil, skill and care these beautiful plants 
are grown under conditions not found elsewhere. 
Those who are not equipped to meet the demand 
are offering foreign grown, budded and grafted 
Roses as a substitute. There can be no com- 
parison and buyers should beware of these so-called 
Star Size budded and grafted Roses, for in a very 
short time they go back to the source of their 
strength—the wild root, and you have a Wild Rose 
of no value whatever. We provided for our cus- 
tomers’ wants by the expenditure of thousands of 
dollars in equipment, and we are probably today 
the only Growers in America who are producing an 
own root Star Size Rose Bush in all the leading 
varieties, now growing in pots 6 and 7 inches in 
diameter, each plant carefully trimmed into shapely 
size. In fact each plant is selected from a large 
stock and given special attention to insure a perfect 
plant. in fact is a specimen plant having received 
individual care. These plants will produce magnifi- 
cent and immediate results. They can be planted 
safely anywhere in the United States or Canada. 
é Hardy everywhere; slight protection in cold cli- 
——— || = — mates will not be amiss. 


Each one a superb specimen now growing in pots 6 and 7 inches 
in diameter. These mammoth plants will give immediate results. 
For a fuller description see elsewhere in this book. 


REMEMBER we are the originators and for more than 60 years 
we have been the leaders in the Rose plant business in America 
and we are still leaders in producing. at popular prices, the best 
plants for American Rose Growers, growing them today where we 
started in business sixty-seven years ago. 


SE PLEASE NOTE—With the ex- 
ception of one other concern this stock 
cannot be had anywhere at any price. These plants have the size and will 
produce immediate results. Plants from 6- and 7-inch pots and the most 
important of all, the plants ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS, and once plant- 
ed will last a lifetime. 


FINALLY—of necessity the stock is limited. We would suggest that you 
order early and the stock wili be reserved for delivery whenever you want it.

in richness and depth of color, which is a rich, vel- 
vety crimson, shading very dark in the depths of 
the petals. The buds and flowers are remarkably 
large and of elegant form, full and double. As a gar- 
den Rose it has few equals, being particularly valu- 
able for bedding on account of its sturdy growth and 
handsome foliage. It is also valuable for growing 
indoors in pots or in the conservatory, and is con- 
stantly in bloom.

apricot-yellow to shades of pale carmine. The bush 
is a stout, vigorous grower and is constantly in bloom

“WHAT A RECENT VISITOR SAID.” 


A recent visitor from Toledo, Ohio, exclaimed when he saw the wonderful 
Rose bushes growing in our large house: ‘Are they the ones you offer as 
two year old plants?’’ When told they were he said, “I have visited all the 
Rose growing establishments in the country, and none compare with your 
plants, as they are the finest I ever saw, and I have been growing Roses for 
25 years.” “Why,’’ said he, ‘‘your two-year-old plants are larger and better 
in every way than those offered by some firms as three-year-old or Star 
plants.”’ 

So if we could only personally show each and every one of our prospective 
eustomers these plants it would need no argument to convince them of the 


quality of our stock. Send us your order if you want the best Roses and 
Ones that last.

and very free flowering. Delicately fragrant and a 
splendid keeper, it is ideal for cut-flower purposes.

First introduced in America by the Dingee & Con-

For intense and dazzling color there is no other

profusion during the whole of the growing season; 
in fact, it is always in bloom. The color is fiery

The fragrance of Virginia R. Coxe is unexcelled 
by that of any other variety under cultivation. It is

of four or five feet, is perfectly hardy in all sections 
and is one of the finest of the many splendid Roses

Dingee Hardy Everblooming Tea Roses 


Tea Roses form the foundation of nearly all the 
great Roses of today. Without them the lovely Hy- 
brid Tea class would be impossible. They are 
among the oldest and most highly cherished of all 
Roses. They have made the Rose-gardens of Amer- 
ica what they are. Their place and value is ever- 
lasting. Rugged, healthy and hardy in growth, free 
blooming (they bloom all the time), their flowers 
are chaste and beautiful. You cannot well do with- 
out them. They thrive gloriously in all sections 

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-pots” Rose- 
plants made to sell at popular prices. Plant good

bloomer, producing beautiful flowers in great pro-

and free bloomer, with large, rich, yellow flowers 
of good substance.

eral cultivation, succeeding in almost any situation.

did substance; color creamy-blush, shaded with 
deep carmine and edged with silver-rose. 


*ALINE SISLEY—One of the best. Rich shade of 
violet-red, brightened with crimson-maroon: flow- 
ers large. full and double; fragrance very sweet.

time flowers of various colors, ranging from 
orange*to capuchin-red carmine. The buds are

One of the latest introductions of the Tea class and has

THE WHITE HOUSE ROSE. 

This magnificent Rose has been freely used in the

beautiful buds. Color, rich, creamy white, shaded 
with a golden yellow and clear rose, of indescribable 
beauty. 


DO YOU KNOW HOW A ROSE BUSH IS MADE? 


Probably you have not given the matter any thought, but 
Roses that are grown on their own roots; and they are the 
only ones that are worth planting, are made from branches 
from the mother plant. fhese branches are cut in lengths 
according to the eyes th=:'eon. In order to increase the pro- 
duction these cuttings are frequently made with only one eye, 
which makes a small ar.d weak plant. Where two eyes are 
taken the plant is twice as large and of twice as much 
vitality and bloomirg quality. So in buying plants re- 
member our plants are made from these strong, two-eyed 
cuttings, and are ‘vorth more than those weak one-eyed 
plants offered by many at heap rates. Buying cheap 
plants to save r %ney is like topping a clock to save time. 
Buy the best, as the results are certain. 


Price, 15c each for all Roses, first size, one-year 
plants, on this page, except where noted; 50c for any 
4, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 40c each; $4.00 per 
dozen, by express, of one or more varieties. Variety

HARDY EVERBLOOMING TEA ROSES—Continued. 


*Papa Gontier 


A strong, vigorous grower and constant bloom- 
er; one of the best and most valuable, both for 
open ground and greenhouse; color rich cherry-red, 
passing to clear, glowing crimson. One of the 
best for all purposes, with immense buds and mag- 
nificent flowers. 


MURIEL GRAHAM —tThe flower is a most deli- 
cate cream, blushed rose; almost a yellow Mer- 
met. 


“MADAME CAMILLE The color is a pale rosy 
flush, shaded with salmon and lavender. 


MRS. F. F. THOMPSON —A sport from the love- 
ly Mrs. Geo. Shawyer, and an exact duplicate. 
except in color, which is a lovely shade of shell 
pink, with a deep glowing heart of light pink, 
which brightens up the flower wonderfully. 
Like Shawyer, it is a vigorous’ grower, and 
blooming constantly from early Spring until late 
Fall. Hardy almost everywhere. An excellen 
one for cutting, as the lovely buds hold their 
shape for an unusual length of time, and opening 
into such immense, full and double blooms. Price, 
first size plants, 30c each, postpaid; 4 for $1.00. 
Two-year-old plants, 75c each, by express. All 
on their own roots.

shade, and is entirely distinct from any other vari- 
ety; the flowers are large, full, of globular form. 
with great depth and substance, richly perfumed, 
and very beautiful in every way. This magnificent 
Rose still holds its position as one of the most ex- 
quisite and beautiful of its color ever introduced, and 
the demand for it is constantly increasing as its 
great value becomes known. It is ideal for cutting 
purposes. A particularly fine garden Rose, being 
strong and thrifty.

color it is snow-white, sometimes faintly tinted

bloomer.

white, faintly tinted with pale golden-yellow, and 
is exquisitely bordered and tinted with soft rosy 
flesh.

For Permanent Beds the Baby Ramblers are Unsurpassed, 


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 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 in- 
sects and absolutely hardy everywhere. 


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 greatest 
profusion in large clusters. It is a splendid com- 
panion for the other excellent members of this 
family. 

*DOUBLE WHITE BABY RAMBLER—A most 
beautiful companion to the Crimson Baby Ram- 
bler, growing to the same height, and bearing 
great masses of double, pure white flowers, cover- 
ing the plant as with a mantle. The Roses are 
delightfully scented, reminding one somewhat of 
a hyacinth. 


ORLEANS—The most attractive of all the Baby 
Rambler Roses. A very rapid grower, soon pro- 
ducing a bush resembling a huge bouquet of bril- 
liant geranium-red flowers, suffused rose, with a 
rosy-white center. 


*YELLOW BABY RAMBLER-—Similar in habit of 
growth to the other Baby Ramblers, but of a 
lemon-yellow. Makes a beautiful contrast with 
the others. 


MRS. WM. CUTBUSH—Of dwarf growth, produc- 
ing in constant profusion flowers of pale pink, 
borne in huge trusses throughout the entire sum- 
mer and autumn. Hardy. 


54 


BABY TAUSENDSCHON—A dwarf form of the 
Climbing Tausendschon or Thousand Beauties. It 
has all the characteristics of the climber in the 
charm of its flowers, but blooming the entire sea- 
son, Flowers firm, white, delicately flushed pink, 
changing to deep rosy-carmine. 


PHYLLIS—Considered by many to be the most 
popular of the Pink Baby Ramblers. The color is 
the shade of the Lawson Carnation—beautiful car- 
mine-pink. Grows to a height of two feet; very 
hardy; always in bloom; flowers are produced in 
continuous succession in large clusters. 


JESSIE—Of all the “Baby Ramblers” this new vari- 
ety bids fair to outstrip the others in popularity. 
The flowers are of brilliant crimson, much the 
color of a Richmond Rose and are borne in huge 
clusters from early in the season until frost. 


*GEO. ELGER—A superb Poylantha Rose with just 
sufficient of Tea Rose blood to make it different 
from any in its class. It produces great quantities 
of lovely little buds of gc'den-yellow, opening into 
miniature symmetrical Roses. Each bush is so 
loaded with blooms that they resemble a huge 
bouquet. Like all Roses of this class it is free in 
growth and bloom, blooming all summer. Hardy 
everywhere with some protection. Foliage bright 
attractive green. Excellent companion for the 
Baby Ramblers.

A wonderful little Rose. The color illustration on back cover does not

wonderful coloring effect. ‘ 3 

The flowers are miniature in size but magnificent in form and pro- 
duced by the hundreds, exquisite for cutting or bouquets and bedding 
purposes. Makes a magnificent show in the open ground, always bloom- 
ing from early spring until late fall. equal to the Souperts or Baby Ram- 
blers, and we consider it the most wonderful Rose introduced for years. 
The tips of the petals are vivid scarlet, then mellowing down through 
shades of pink into saffron, lavender and gold, finally into deep old gold, 
a combination so extraordinary and so pleasing that everyone seeing it 
exclaims “What a Wonderful Rose.” 

Foliage slender and produced in abundance, dark lustre green.

_ Gentlemen:—Last Spring I purchased from you, about May 20th, a small plant of 
Tip Top or Baby Doll Rose. It was the most profuse bloomer of the whole lot and it 
is now in bloom for the fourth time since I got it: in June it had 7 flowers; in July, 
26 flowers; in Augst it had 37: and now it has 20 or 25, including buds

Brilliant White Rose 


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 pub- 
lic is unacquainted with its merits. This is espe- 
cially true of this great variety. Makes strong, 
upright bush, with beautiful deep green foliage; 
practically thornless. While a Hybrid Perpetual, 
yet like the Hybrid Tea Roses, bears in greatest 
profusion large, pointed buds and massive flowers 
on long, stiff. heavy shoots; the open flower is 
enormous, full, deep and double. Rich creamy- 
white, passing, when open, to a pale shade of sal- 
mon-yellow, deepest at the center. Absolutely hardy everywhere. Grown, as they are, on their own roots, 
one can purchase with a feeling that it will be a source of joy forever. Price, 20c each; 3 for 50c, postpaid.’

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. Also when grown as individual 
specimen plants, as they soon form a beautiful bush 
more ornamental than many hardy shrubs. They can be 
kept trimmed into any shape or height desired, and thus 
make a large, handsome bush Rose. No other concern 
offers such a complete list of Climbing Roses as we. All 
the Climbing Roses in our unequalled list are on their own 
roots—a most vital point in a Climbing Rose. Unlike budded 
stock, once planted they last a lifetime. 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.

HARDY CLIMBING 
ROSES—Continued., 


A real American Beauty in Climbing Form 
—attains a height of 15 feet in a single sea- 
son—sturdy as an oak. Our own stock on 
its own roots, not on wild roots. Once 
planted practically everlasting. No new 
Rose of recent years so sensational and 
meritorious as this, and each season adds to 
its popularity. 


American Beauty is perhaps the best 
known, most popular and impressive Rose 
in cultivation. Big, gloriously rich in fra- 
grance. the flowers are simply superb. 
Every Rose expert has longed to produce 
this Queen of Beauty in climbing form 
through the delicate science of hybridizing 
and cross breeding. This is no ordinary 
Climbing Rose, but is a vigorous, rampant, 
climbing type of the real American Beauty, 
with its gorgeous flowers and surpassing 
fragrance. Immense blooms measuring 3 
to 4 inches in diameter; and each one 1s 
invariably produced on a separate stem. 
The color is a glowing crimson-red, the real 
American Beauty color. The foliage is 
magnificent and is an important feature in 
climbing Roses, for without healthy, leath- 
ery foliage any climbing Rose is a failure, 
because it is unsightly. Climbing American 
Beauty has tough, beautiful, glossy green 
foliage, which in itself is ornamental and 
retains its brightness during the entire sea- 
son. Absolutely hardy in all localities and 
withstands the rigid winters of a tempera- 
ture 10 to 25 degrees below zero without 
protection. Equally satisfactory in the 
warmer southern climates. For single spe- 
cimens, for pergolas. for climbing over ver- 
andas, or any place that an ordinary vine 
will grow, Climbing American Beauty will 
thrive. 


Remember, every plant is pot-grown, and 
unlike stock sold by nursery agents, is on 
its own roots. Once planted, it practically 
lasts forever. 


. Prices: Strong, one-year plants, 20c each: 
larger size, 30c each, postpaid; strong, vig- 
orous two-year-old plants, 50c each; still

American Beauty is splendid for open-ground cul- 
ture, 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, abso- 
lutely 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 ex- 
celled by any Rose known. 


*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 off- 
spring, except in color, which is soft, rich pink, fad- 
ing still lighter as the flower grows older. Has the 
same large, massive, cup-shaped flowers and _ fra- 
grance; 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.

Gentlemen: 

In the yard of my father’s old home place there are 
rose bushes today that were bought from your firm more 
than forty years ago. These bushes are as sturdy as oaks 
and bloom as well as they ever did. 

Sincerely yours,

Baltimore, Maryland, February 12, 1917. 
Gentlemen: 

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your catalogue for 1917. 
I am sorry I cannot give vou an order this Spring, but as 
every foot of yard space I have is already occupied with 
Dingee Roses it will be impossible to add anything to it 
this Spring. I have about thirty-five varieties of Roses, of 
which Charles Dingee and Jonkheer J. L. Mock surpass 
all others in quality. During my forty years experience 
in Rose growing I have found nothing to equal these two 
great Roses.

Oak Park, Illinois, February 5, 1917. 
Dear Sirs: 

For some years I sent to you for bushes and seeds. My 
soil was poor and I never could succeed with everything 
I bought, but once I bought a group of little pot grown 
Roses and some of them lived, but one, the Thousand 
Beauties or Tausendschon was the charm of the whole 
neighborhood. I think two years since it must have had 
a million blooms. I, myself, a lady of 70, made abeautiful 
pergola. Neighbors came and brought their friends to-- 
see it, but as we have moved I had to leave my Rose. 
Please send me your Rose catalogue.

The Rambler Roses 


This great family of Climbing Roses has 
become so well and favorably known that 
we do not consider extended description 
necessary. The various Rambler Roses are 
absolutely essential to the modern Rose 
garden. All these Rambler Roses are hardy 
throughout the country, and our own-root 
stock once planted becomes permanent.

the oid Crimson Rambler in having

Dingee Hardy Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses 


The Roses on this and the next two pages are 
noted for the exquisite beauty of their flowers, 
rivaling, as they do, those of the Hybrid Tea 
class. They are all wonderfully strong 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 perfection, but will require some slight pro- 
tection in winter. 


“Climbing Pink Killarney 


Some six years ago we offered for the first time 
a climbing type of the famous pink Rose Killar- 
ney, 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 en- 
thusiastic letters about it, confirm the statements 
we made in regard to it. The beautiful flowers 
of this wonderful Rose are identical with the par- 
ent variety, but the bush is of the climbing habit 
of growth, placing it at once in a class by itself. 
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 descrip- 
tion, immense, long, pointed buds with massive 
petals, opening into flowers of enormous size: 
color deep pink, bright and sparkling, an exquis- 
ite shade, deliciously fragrant; in fact, one of the 
greatest new Roses we have ever offered. Our 
stock is limited. 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. 


“CLIMBING WHITE KILLARNEY — An exact 
counterpart of the bush Rose White Killarney, but 
a vigorous climber. Produces blooms of purest 
white of same formation, and on single stems the 
same as the bush Rose. Hardy everywhere. and 
blooms all season. 


GAINSBOROUGH—An extremely beautiful Rose, 
delicately tinted flesh, almost white and lustrous 
as satin. A discriminating admirer compared the 
flower to a beautiful young lady wearing a Gains- 
borough hat ornamented with white ostrich 
plumes; hence the name. 


Kansas City, Missouri, April 3, 1917.

Bed of Famous West Grove Cannas, 


Dingee Magnificent Everblooming Cannas 


(Note illustration in color on page 70). 


The introduction of these wonderful decorative 
plants in this country is so woven into the history 
of West Grove that it is known far and near as 
the home of magnificent plants. Starting back 
many years ago when we first introduced the 
Canna Flamingo, at that time considered the 
finest flower of the kind, and when Dr. Van Fleet, 
now connected with the Horticultural Depart- 
ment at Washington, was in our employ. Since 
that time wonderful improvement has been ob- 
tained in the development of new varieties, such 
as increasing the size of heads, and individual 
flowers, the color of the blooms. the size of the 
plants and the length of the blooming period, all 
of which has increased the popularity of the gor- 
geous flowers. Cannas are easily grown, and will 
thrive in almost any situation. 


Best New Cannas 

Cannas are not hardy and should not be planted 
until danger of frost is past. Take the roots up 
in the fall and store in a warm, dry place. 

No flowers will make such an attractive bed. > 
Rapid in growth, freedom of bloom and orna- 
mental foliage makes them so desirable for plant- 
ing in beds, on lawn or yard, and especially after 
early blooming bulbs are done. 

MRS. WOODROW WILSON—A good. strong, 
robust grower and exceptionally free bloomer. 
Light green foliage veined. Color a rich but 
soft crimson pink with very large flowers with 
broad, overlapping petals. Blooms soon after 
planting, continuing until frost. 25c each. 

PANAMA—tThe unusual color marking of this 
new Canna is its attractie feature. The orange- 
red petals are bordered with a broad edge of 
golden-yellow. Flowers large and overlapping. 
Free bloomer. 20c each; 6 for $1.00, postpaid.

How to Plant Cannas 


In a Circular Bed 


Start with one plant oi a tall growing habit for the 
center. Draw a circle eighteen inches from this one 
and use a dwarfer variety for this circle, which will 
require six ny then draw another Szcle eighteen 
inches from the first circle or thirty-six inches from 
the center, and use a still dwarfer variety for this 
circle, wisich will require 12 plants, and plant each 
succeeding circle in the same manner. Each suc- 
ceeding circle will require six more plants, set 18 
inches apart, which is the proper distance, than the 
previous circle; thus, 1 plant for the center, 6 plants 
for the first circle, 12 plants for the second circle. 
18 plants for the third circle, and so on. A bed 4 
feet in diameter will require 7 plants; a 7-foot bed, 
19 plants; 10-foot bed, 37 plants; 16-foot bed, 91 
plants. For the best effect plant beds in all one 
variety, as the sloping effect can be secured by mak- 


ing the soil in the bed higher in the center and 
sloping to the edges. For border around the beds 
use Alternantheras, Sweet Alyssum, or Coleus. 


Alternantheras should be set 6 inches apart, Coleus 
12 inches for the best effect. Sweet Alyssum found 
on page 100 can be sown at time of planting the 
Cannas. We offer special collections of these plants 
for different size beds on 4-page circular enclosed.

The Bosten Fern. 


JACKSONII— Extremely 


strong grower. Re- 
sembling Sword Fern, quickly forming large, 


upright plant. 


WHITMANII COMPACTA—This is a condens- 
ed form of the “Ostrich Plume Fern,’ with 
valuable characteristics added which are not 
evident in the parent, the pinnae subdividing, 
making minature fronds, looking as if two or 
more were candensed in one. Graceful beyond 
description. 


THE BOSTON FERN—This Fern differs from 
the ordinary Sword Fern in having much long- 
er fronds which frequently attain a length of 
six feet, drooping gracefully over the side of 
the pot or jardiniere, and on this account it is 
frequently called the Fountain Fern. This 
drooping habit adapts this variety for growing 
as a single specimen for a table or pedestal. 
Equally good for outdoors during the summer 
as well as a decorative plant for indoors during 
winter. 


WHITMANII (Ostrich Plume Fern)—More of 
a dwarf habit than the Boston Fern. The 
fronds are of entirely different nature. Each 
frond is subdivided on the order of the Com- 
pacta Fern, thus producing a very beautiful 
effect. Very decorative. 


AMERPOHLII (Philadelphia Lace Fern)—The 
fronds are lace-like. dense and delicate. Small 
leaflets are subdivided into perfect miniature 
fronds. The side ones stand at right angles 
together and on edge instead of flat, giving 
both sides the same beautiful appearance. It 
is impossible not to see the beauty and grace 
of this wonderfui Fern. 


Price of all Ferns in extra strong pot plants, 
20c each; 6 for $1.00; large plants from 4- and 5- 
inch pots, 50c each, postpaid. 


Dingee Receaiee Ferns 


There is no plant that seems to fill such an impor- 
tant place as these Decorative Ferns. Their adapta- 
bility to almost all conditions makes them the best 
decorative plant grown. Easy of culture, equally) 
adapted for indoors or out, that no one should be 
without them. Use a soil composed of five parts; two 
parts of good garden soil, two parts finely screened 
peat or leaf mold from the woods, and one part sharp, 
clean sand. This should then be thoroughly sterilized 
by putting in an oven and baking in order to destroy 
earth worms, etc. Place some broken pieces of pots 
or crocks and some charcoal in the bottom of each pot 
for drainage. A temperature of not less than 55 de- 
grees F. should be maintained at all times. with a rise 
in the daytime of 10 degrees to 15 degrees. Judgment 
should be exercised in watering. On warm days they 
should be syringed at least twice. Never allow them: 
to become too dry. Insects which are most troublesome 
are thrips, red spider, scale and mealy bug. Thrips, 
red spider and meay bug are easily prevented by a 
properly moistened atmosphere, also by spraying of 
foliage once a week with tobacco water, made the 
consistency of weak tea, and increased or diminished 
in strength as occasion demands. 


SCOTTII (Dwarf Boston or Newport Fern)—Much 
more bushy growth than the Boston. The fronds 
droop gracefully, but are not as long and heavy as 
Boston. Very rapid grower. In great demand for 
house Fern. 


TEDDY, JR.—New dwarf Fern. Fronds are broad and 
beautifully tapered from the base to the tip, drooping 
just enough to make a graceful plant. Produces 
nearly four times as many fronds as any other Fern 
introduced. Compact, vigorous and thrives under 
most any condition. 


ROOSEVELT —Resembles the Boston Fern, but pro- 
duces many more fronds, thus making a handsomer 
and bushier plant; in fact it today is more popular 
with the florists than the Boston; it will make a 
larger plant in a shorter time. The fronds are beau- 
tifully undulated, giving it a very pretty rising effect 
that 1s seen in no Other Fern.

Dingee Hardy Perennials 
The Old-Fashioned Hardy Flowers 


The garden or border of Hardy Perennials is about the) 
most valuable and lasting asset of the flower garden. An- 
nuals, flowering bulbs and even shrubs may be dispensed | 
with more consistently than these old-fashioned Hardy 
Perennials which for so long a time made the charm of) 
the old-time gardens. 


There is no spot so unfavorable, no soil so sterile or) 
harsh that some flower of hardy nature may not be found) 
to adorn it and thrive and grow more and more orna- 
mental as the seasons come and go. It is well, however. | 
to enrich the soil before planting with some well-decom- 
posed manure, dug deeply and well pulverized. 


Secure field-grown clumps in the spring or fall. Plant. 
them well into the soil and as soon as they have had two | 
or three good frosts, and just before the ground freezes, | 
cover with about three inches of leaves, nature’s protec- 
: i tion. Remove gradually in the spring. Do not overcrowd. 
eeeenees — } A very good rule to go by in planting is to set the plants 
_ ne-half the height they attain when fully developed. For 
La ie : a) example, Delphinium, which grows three feet high, should 
ian Dianthus—Hardy Pinks. be planted eighteen inches apart.

Dingee Hardy Peonies 


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

We offer only the cream of the many hundred varieties, 
Don’t buy the cheap kinds. They require just as much eare, 
but don’t produce the blooms.

New Hardy Everblooming 


Hydrangea 


ARBORESCENS STERILIS, 

The New Everblooming Hydrangea is, as its name implies, 
constantly in bloom from early in June until frost, and is one 
of the most important additions in the way of hardy shrubs 
ever introduced. All summer long it bears great clusters of 
white flowers, much like the tender Hydrangea in size and 
form; it will grow to perfection in partial shade, making it 
most valuable for massing under trees or growing on north 
side of house. 


Price, strong, vigorous plants, well rooted, 25c each, 5 
for $1.00, postpaid: larger, field-grown plants, with several 
branches, fine roots, 50c each; 3 for $1.00, by express.

Hydrangea arborescens sterilis—Hills of Snow. 


This class of plants has been a leading specialty 
with us for years, our stock now consisting of 
nearly twenty acres, They are absolutely hardy, | 
and once planted, last indefinitely, increasing in) 
size and beauty year after year. For cold climate | 
where hardy plants are needed they stand without 
an equal. Planted in clumps, masses or used for 
hedges, screens, or for filling unsightly corners, 
they make a glorious show. They supply that cer- | 
tain something which is lacking in every yard | 
where hardy shrubbery is not planted. We recom- | 
mend a liberal planting of this class of plants. 
They last a lifetime and are sure to give splendid 
satisfaction. Their culture is exceedingly simple. 
When received cut the plants back about one-third | 
their growth if not done before shipping. Set about! 
three feet apart for a screen, but as individual 
specimens plant wherever desired. Water freely 
when planted, and for a few days afterward. No 
protection required. They may be planted as soon 
as ground is ready to dig up until late spring. This - 
class of plants should be set out earlier than Roses 
and other pot plants, so if your order contains some 
of them we will send the different varieties at the | 
proper season. Among this class of plants should 
be included the Rugosa Roses offered on page 58 } 
which are just as hardy and can be used in the: 
same way for single specimens or for massing. 

Some varieties such as Hydrangea, Snowball, 
Weigelas, Deutzias, require pruning in early spring 
before new growth starts, Here with us it is done 
in late February or early March each season. 


Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora 


The Best and Most Ornamental of All Hardy Shrubs. 


We grow and sell annually many thousands of these most 
popular of all shrubs. They are extensively used for yard, 
lawn and hedge planting and for screens. Attains a height 
of 5 to 7 feet; hardy in all localities; blooms the first and 
every season in July and August, and continues in bloom for 
two or three months; the flowers are massive, cone-shaped, 
often measuring 10 inches in length, and have a pleasing vari- 
ation of color, changing from original pure white to pink, and 
finally to beautiful, rich, coppery red. Well-rooted, field- 
grown plants that will bloom this year. 


Prices: 15¢ each, 4 for 50c, 9 for $1.00, postpaid: streng, 
two-year-old, field-grown, blooming plants, 35¢ each, 3 for

The Cardinal Climber 


(IPOMOEA QUAMOCLIT HYBRIDA), 


We consider this the most beautiful, brilliant and distinct annual 
climber introduced in many years. Result of a cross between Ipomoea 
Quamoclit, the Cypress Vine and Ipomoea Coccinea, or Star Glory. It is 
a strong and rapid grower, attaining a height of 30 feet or more with 
beautiful, deeply laciniated foliage and literally covered with a blaze 
of circular flery cardinal-red flowers from mid-July until frost. The 
flowers are about 1% inches in diameter, and are borne in clusters of 
seven to eleven blooms each. Like other Ipomoeas, it delights in a 
Warm, sunny situation and good soil. The seed may be started indoors 
in April and planted out as soon as the weather is warm, or may be 


sown out of doors as soon as danger from cold weather is past. Packets 
containing 10 seeds each, 15c; 2 pkts. for 25e. 


. e 
Dingee Special Lawn Grass Seed 

The best Lawn Grass Mixture for general sowing, as proven by care- 
ful experiment and comparison. It produces a smooth, velvety green 
sward of attractive arpearance. In preparing the ground for seeding, 
break it up 10 to 12 inches deep with plow er 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 ane 
evenly at the rate of one quart to a space equal to 15x20 feet; two 
bushels will sow one acre. Price: By mail, 45c per Ib., in bulk, by 
express at purchaser’s expense, 35c per Ib,
