SELECT THEE HOSES 
Standard or Tree-shaped Roses are made by budding 
the variety of Rose desired into a tall, straight stalk at 
a height of 40 inches from the ground, forming a bushy 
head at the top of this straight stalk. Many rose varie¬ 
ties produce even more blooms when grown in this 
way than on an ordinary bush, and the individual 
flowers are frequently larger and more brilliantly col¬ 
ored. For lining walks, emphasizing corners, or plant¬ 
ing in locations where height is desired, Tree Roses 
are extremely effective. 
We believe Armstrong Tree Roses to be the finest produced in 
this country. It is easy to produce inferior Tree Roses, but it 
takes much time and attention to produce Armstrong Tree Roses. 
Most of our Tree Roses are taken up with a ball of earth on the 
roots, but when they are to be shipped a long distance by rail, 
we remove the earth to save weight. 
Three Color Tree Roses 
Tree-shaped Roses with three colors blooming thereon, at the 
same time are an exceedingly unique addition to the garden. 
One bud of each of three kinds are budded into the head, and 
usually all three varieties are in bloom at once, as shown in 
the specimen pictured below.

Tall Standards 
We have grown a limited number of 
Tall Tree Roses with semi-weeping va¬ 
rieties inserted on a tall straight stalk 
at a height of 6 feet. The arching pen¬ 
dulous branches eventually reach the 
ground and become a cascade of flow¬ 
ers in the blooming season. We particu¬ 
larly call attention to Mermaid, which 
is a beautiful sight the entire year be¬ 
cause of its evergreen glossy foliage 
and everblooming habit. 
Dorothy Perkins. Small, light pink 
blooms. 
Mermaid. Large, single, yellow flowers.

tinged pink. 
Price on Tall Standards: $4.00 each. 
Moss Roses

a crown of lacy moss upon the stems 
and sepals. The flowers are sweetly 
fragrant, very double, pale rose-pink in 
color, and the bush is very large and 
vigorous. 75c. 
Golden Moss. Although there have 
been pink, red and white Moss Roses 
for many years, this is the first yellow 
one. Very tall, slender, sending up 
large canes from the base. Exceedingly 
fine foliage and interesting double yel¬ 
low flowers. $1.00 each. 
A Tiny Dwarf 
Rosa rouletti. One of the most inter¬ 
esting little Rose plants in the world. It 
grows easily either in a pot or in the 
open ground but never gets more than 
6 or 8 inches high and produces all 
through the growing season great quan¬ 
tities of little deep pink flowers, so 
small that we have seen photographs 
of twelve such blooms occupying one- 
half of a walnut shell. 4 inch pots. 50c.
