Tree Roses 
The Standard Rose, generally known as the 
Tree Rose, is made by budding or grafting the 
desired variety on a tall straight stem which has 
been grown and trained for at least one year for 
that purpose, usually four to five feet in height, 
using a hardy variety for the stem. 
One great disadvantage of the Tree Rose in the 
colder sections has been its liability to freeze 
during the winter, but since planters have be- 
come more familiar with its habits this can usu- 
ally be overcome by wrapping the stem in winter 
with straw or some other material. 
It is usual to grow the standards, budded or 
grafted, to hybrid-perpetuals, hybrid-teas, or tea 
roses, but lately many are made from Rambler 
and Wichuriana types of roses, which forms a 
somewhat weeping variety. The Baby Ramblers 
do especially well in tree form. 
The following constitute the best varieties we 
try to carry in stock: 
Frau Karl Druschki, white 
La France, pink 
Reine Marie Henriette, red 
Baby Rambler, red 
Gen. MacArthur, red 
Gruss an Teplitz, dark red 
J. B. Clark, red 
Pharisaer, pink 
Mad. Alfred Carriere, white 
Mad. Caroline Testout, pink 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, white 
Betty, coppery-yellow 
Jonkheer J. L. Mock, red-salmon 
Mrs. John Laing, pink 
And the following of the Rambler type for weep- 
ing effect: 
Dorothy Perkins, pink; Crimson Rambler. 
In ordering it is best to simply state colors and 
allow us to choose the best we have of the color. 
If you order a particular variety state whether 
we shall substitute another of same color and 
habit if sold out of the one desired, as late in the 
season we are liable to be sold out in many varie- 
ties. 
HALF STANDARDS. 
We often have in stock a number of Half 
Standards grown in same manner but not so tall. 
Shasta Daises 
( Chrysanthemum leucanthemum hybridum) 
Originated by Luther Burbank, from whom we secured our supply. Too well advertised by this 
time to need any long description. A marvelous combination of size, grace, abundance and general 
effectiveness of flowers, which are borne on long, clean, strong stems; flowers snowy white or cream- 
colored, 4 to 5 inches across. 
Alaska (New). The whole plant, roots, stems, 
leaves, buds and flowers are gigantic, but com- 
pact and graceful in every respect. The marvel- 
ous combinations of size, grace, glistening white- 
ness, abundance and general effectiveness of the 
flowers, which are borne on long, clean strong 
stems, will place it at once far ahead of all others 
of its class. 
Under the ordinary field cultivation given 
Chrysanthemums, the flowers average 4£ to 5 
inches across on stems 2 or 3 feet long; with 38 
to 42 wide petals and a very small disk; with 
proper disbudding are produced perpetually, 
though more abundantly at the usual blooming 
season. 
California [New], Another giant in growth, 
and in most respects similar to Alaska, but the 
buds and half-opened flowers are of a most pleas- 
ing clear, pale lemon-yellow, with two rows of 
petals. When a day or two old these gradually 
change to pure white. The combination is ex- 
ceedingly pleasing. The flowers average 4 to 5 
inches across, and, with ordinary care, are pro- 
duced perpetually. The common varieties of 
Chrysanthemum maximum are as weeds when 
compared with these. 
Westralia [New], This is distinguished by its 
branching habit, which is a strong characteris- 
tic in one of the parents of the whole Shasta 
Daisy Family— the Japanese Field Daisy [Chry- 
santhemum leucanthemum Nipponicum ]. 
Well grown plants are 3 to 4 feet high and 
nearly as much through; buds and nearly opened 
flowers are of a pleasing cream-color, semi-double, 
3 to 4 inches across and are produced on fairly 
long stems in bewildering profusion.
