NEW FLORAL GUIDE, SPRING, 1909 



"STANDARDS" or TREE ROSES 



Standard Rose, "Frau Karl Druschki" 



An American tourist traveling in England when Tree Roses were in bloom, describes them as "Mam- 

 moth bouquets of roses held up by stems 1 ke the trunks of little trees — 4 to 5 feet high." On this side of 

 the Atlantic they are as yet comparatively rare ; but our customers who have tried them report most enthu- 

 siastically ab out the splendid results obtaned 



All the Winter protection required is to loosen the soil at the roots enough to lean the plant so that the top comes near 

 the ground, then it can be covered with soil or two boards nailed together V-shaped and filled with dry leaves. In the 

 Spring the weak shoots should be cut out and the stronger ones pruned back to three or four eyes. 



Tree Roses occupy but little ground space and are very imposing when planted among shrubbery or perennials. Along 

 the sides of a walk they form an avenue effect. They can also be planted among or back of a collection of bush roses — 

 thus making a two-storied rose bed as it were. 



The Tree Roses we offer are exceptionally choice, with sturdy roots and well-balanced tops. They will positively b.oom 

 generously this season. Order before April 1st. These are the most desirable varieties.
