OLD FASHIONED ROSES 
We have limited stocks of a few of the very old 
Roses like Cabbage, York & Lancaster, Damask and 
one or two others. Price $1.00 each. We will gladly 
send names of such varieties as we have, on appli¬ 
cation. 
STANDARD OR TREE ROSES 
Tree roses are steadily growing in favor, they 
are splendid for planting in the corners of beds or 
dotting through beds of Hybrid Teas. All of the 
plants we offer this season are worked on the 
Oregon brier with perfectly straight and sturdy 
stems, much superior to the rugosa stems usually 
seen. Winter protection is best afforded by burying 
the plants. Wrapping with straw is totally inade¬ 
quate in New England except for one or two very 
hardy varieties. Tree Roses are less subject to black 
spot than dwarfs, as their height permits of a bet¬ 
ter circulation of air amongst the heads. We can 
make deliveries just as soon as the frost leaves the 
ground. It is good practice to wrap a bunch of 
sphagnum moss about the budded or grafted portion 
in early spring and keep this moist until plants are 
well started. We have discarded rugosa as a stock 
for tree roses owing to its crookedness and the added 
fact that borers attack it very badly. These are heavy, 
straight and vastly the superior of rugosas. 
The following varieties can be supplied. Of some of 
these we have only limited numbers and early orders 
are urged for these varieties.
