Rugosas and Their Hybrids 
For Illustration See Front Cover 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and ability to thrive 
under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost anything. 
The original species, which produces large single flowers throughout the season, is the 
only absolutely hardy everblooming Rose in existence. The hybrids are usually almost 
as hardy. They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems growing from 5 to 15 feet, 
and by their tough, curiously wrinkled or rugose foliage. Particularly valuable for hedges 
or shrubberies in seashore gardens and regions where the winters are very severe. 
All Rugosa Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10 of any one variety, except where otherwise noted.

Standard or Tree 
Roses 
We have a splendid stock of Standard Roses this 
year, but we do not recommend planting them in 
autumn, except in very mild climates and sheltered 
situations. Consequently, we have not listed in this 
Catalogue the many varieties available. 
If you wish to plant Tree Roses at this season or 
to store them in coldframes over winter, please send 
for our special list of Standard Roses, all strong, 
bushy, two-year-old heads on 42-inch stems, also 
Weeping Standards on 53^ to 6-foot stems.
