Standard or Tree Roses 
These ornamental Tree Roses are useful to relieve the flat appearance of a Rose-garden composed 
entirely of dwarf bushes, and allow a larger number of varieties to be planted in gardens of limited space. 
We advise planting Tree Roses in spring unless provisions can be made for storing them in cold- 
frames over winter. The stems are hardy, but the tops need winter protection. Take up the plants 
in the fall, lay them in a trench, and cover with about 1 foot of soil. After the ground begins to freeze, 
loose litter such as strawy manure or cornstalks, should be applied to prevent the alternate freezing 
and thawing which is so injurious to all plants. 
The height of these Standards runs from 3 to 3^2 feet. 
It is advisable to place a stake on the sunny side of each plant, which will act as support and pro¬ 
tection from hot sun. Tie the stake to the stem with rubber bands or strips of cloth to prevent cutting 
the bark. 
Tree Roses invariably are not troubled with diseases that occasionally bother bush plants because 
the heads are high above ground. Furthermore, the blooms reach the highest perfection. 
Many of the following varieties are grown only in limited quantities, and should be ordered early 
to avoid disappointment. 
All Standard or Tree Roses are $3.50 each, $30 for 10, and are shipped by express only. Kindly add 
10 per cent to partly cover packing. If the orders include other classes of Roses, no charge 
will be made for packing if cash accompanies the order
