Selection of Roses. — We will be happy to make 
selections of suitable varieties for any specified purpose 
either for forcing, bedding, planting out, etc. A long ex- 
perience gives us that invaluable knowledge necessary to 
the proper selection of varieties. 
Standard or Tree Roses. 
rrl HESE Roses, as a rule, do not .succeed so well in America as in Europe, where no well-appointed garden is 
J I ) complete without a collection of them. But years of experience have shown us that if treated in the manner 
I prescribed below they will thrive well, forming handsome trees and giving little trouble. (1) They should 
' be budded or grafted upon Briar stock, not upon R. CANINA or Dog Rose. (2) The Briar stocks when planted 
should have good, fibrous roots, with no suckers starting from them, and if these should appear at any time they 
must be promptly removed. (3) Plant the Rose Trees in good, loamy soil, stake them well, and wrap the entire 
stem about an inch thick with rye straw, tying on the wrap ing with willows. (4) During very dry, hot weather 
syringe the Roses often, preferably every evening after sundown. This will keep the >tems moist, which is very 
essential. (5) After the first few light frosts the stems should be bent over into as nearly a horizontal position as 
may be, and covered with pine boughs, straw mats, or anything that will shade them from the sun. 
It is better to plant Standard Roses in a regular Rose bed or border, where the ground is kept constantly tilled 
and clean, and where suckers may be readily detected. Dwarf Roses can then be planted between and beneath 
the Standards, giving splendid effects. Once well established, they must be well fed both with bone dust and 
stable manure. The manure should be spread over the beds in autumn, just before the Rose Trees are bent over 
for winter protection, as it helps to protect the roots in winter. Thus treated, Standard Roses succeed admirably 
and grow into beautiful forms, giving much pleasure to their owners. 
We keep in stock a choice selection of the best varieties only, all of which are two and three years old, from 
bud or graft. Trees of best quality, $l..50 each, $15 per dozen.
