Native and Shrub Roses 
Pretty single flowers, and large, bright-colored 
berries which cling far into the winter. They are 
largely utilized for planting among shrubs and to 
cover waste ground and fences. 
Slanda (Meadow Rose). Slender, reddish purple 
branches, almost thornless, with pale green, 
oval foliage. Bright rose, May-flowers. 
Carolina (Swamp Rose). Hardy in either wet or 
dry soil. Shrubby growth, pretty pink flowers. 
Humilis (Pasture Rose). Ground cover; pink. 
Multiflora Japonica (Japanese Rose). A thrifty, 
rounded bush freely covered with clustered, small, 
very double flowers; intermingled petals of shell- 
pink and white. 
Rubrifolia (Redieaf Rose). An attractive, shrubby bush 
type furnishing valuable foliage display of 
dark bronze-red leaves. When in bloom, it is brightly 
spangled with a profusion of small single rose-pink 
flowers. 
Setigrera (Prairie Rose). Useful for massing in pictur¬ 
esque hillside brambles; as borders to wildwood drives; 
as filling for dead corners; and with equal harmony, as a congenial mixer 
with shrubs and in single specimens. Setigera is a good fence and trellis 
climber, or occasional clipping will make a satisfactory bush. Large single 
flowers of rose-pink.

TREE or 
STANDARD 
ROSES 
We presume 
most of our 
patrons under¬ 
stand that Tree 
Roses consist 
of a single up¬ 
right stem top- 
grafted to some 
reliable varie¬ 
ty. This re¬ 
veals all the 
foliage and all 
the bloom in a 
rounded clump 
at the top of a 
3 (4-foot stem. 
They are very useful 
as borders to walks 
in a formal garden, 
or in any location 
where the show of 
bloom is desired at an 
elevation of about 5 feet. 
Our supply this year is 
of the best character 
and quality in yeais, 
well apportioned among distinct popu¬ 
lar varieties. We offer them in separate 
colors—
