T HE Single Everblooming Roses have 
a chaste beauty that appeals strongly 
to Rose fanciers and are often called 
“Irish Singles,” although not all are of 
Irish origin. They are the loveliest of all 
garden Roses for use in the house. For 
table decoration especially, they have a 
daintiness and charm unequaled by any 
other flower. To enjoy them indoors, cut 
the buds when the color first shows and let 
them open in the house, where their lovely 
colors will last for several days. They are 
ideal boutonnieres. We list below the fin¬ 
est collection of Single Hybrid Teas in this 
country. 
CECIL. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1926.) Large, 
single flowers of buttercup-yellow. Bushy 
plants with healthy foliage.

Daughter, 1925.) Large, single flowers hav¬

STANDARD OR TREE ROSES 
N O ROSE-GARDEN is complete without some Standard Roses to offset the garden’s flat appearance. 
Their culture is like that of dwarf Roses, but it is very important to place a stake, at the time of 
planting, alongside each plant, to act as a support. Tie the stake to the stem with rubber 
bands or strips of cloth, to prevent cutting the bark. We advise pruning the crowns of newly planted 
Standards very short, say 3 to 4 eyes. If requested, we will prune the trees before shipping, but many 
of our customers prefer to do the pruning themselves. 
We advise planting Tree Roses in spring unless provision can be made for storing them in coldframes 
over winter. The stems are hardy but the tops need winter protection. 
Many of the following varieties are grown only in limited quantities, and should be ordered 
early to avoid disappointment, or a second choice named in case any varieties are sold out. 
The following Standards are 3 1 / 2 feet high, all on Rugosa stems. $3.50 each, $30 for 10 
All Standard or Tree Roses are shipped by Express only. There will be a nominal charge for packing, 
but if the orders include other classes of Roses, no charge will be made for packing if cash accompanies 
the order.
