. uharles Dingee and Mrs. Charles Dingee; Miss Marion Dingee at the wheel The Rose—Queen of all the Flowers Mankind and Flowerkind are old acquaintances. When man first moved into his earthly habi- tation, he found it already furnished wit?i flowers. From old Eden they went forth together into the uttermost parts of the world. No one will deny that both of these old companions are better off for ha^•ing had each other's company during their long walk down the corridors of time. The com- panionship has never been one-sided in its benefit. Our patient, lo\-ing care of flowers has made them more numerous, varied and delightful, and, at the sanie time, has made us more susceptible to the gentleness, refinement and elevation which they have given in return. God be thanked for the world-wide mission of the flowers! They create the happiness of the cliild and crown that of the bride; they earn,' our iinspeakable messages of sympathy to the afflicted and they descend into the graves of those we love. The Rose is the queen of them all. Other flowers may be the favorites of indi\'iduals or become the object of a passing fashion, but the dominion of the Rose is abiding and secure.

We would not have them cost free and expressage paid. Even httle "sUps" are prefer- able. WHAT WE DO SELL DINGEE ROSES. FAMOUS THE WORLD OVER Strong and sturdy. Grown on own roots in Nature's own way, backed by half a experience of knowing how—no
