The Lester Rose Gardens 
^irst Qrade Tree T^ses 
These should be planted more than they are—for in their 
right place nothing can take their place. Against the house or 
wall, in the center or at the corners of a formal garden, sur¬ 
rounded by bush roses of harmonizing shades, they are effective 
and beautiful. A first grade Tree Rose will produce as much 
bloom throughout the season as several bush roses and the flowers 
are of good cutting value. 
Our Tree Roses are the finest grown; they must be seen to be 
appreciated. They are budded at a height of 3 Yz feet on thick 
stems that will average three-quarters of an inch or more, and 
have well developed heads that will produce bloom bountifully 
the first season. Quantities this season are limited so early orders 
are requested. 
PRICE: Packed for shipment by express, not prepaid. 
Each $2.50 
VARIETIES AVAILABLE INCLUDE: Chas. P. Kilham, Gen. McArthur, Etoile de 
Hollande, Queen Alexandra, Rose Marie (delicate rose-pink, very fragrant and 
double), and Souv. de Mme. Bouillet. (For descriptions see list of Bush Roses.) 
TlJeeping Standard Tgses 
We shall not have enough of these Weepers, which are climb¬ 
ing roses budded on stems 6 feet and over in height and trained to 
form massive weeping heads, to meet our demands this season, ex¬ 
cept in the case of a few sorts. We solicit inquiries as to available 
varieties from anyone interested. We can offer here two choice 
kinds; both on six-foot extra heavy stems, with heavy heads: 
MERMAID WEEPING STANDARD ROSES —Extremely ef¬ 
fective as a Weeper because of its brilliant, glossy, dark green 
and bronze foliage, which lasts all through the year in Cali¬ 
fornia, and its large, fragrant, single yellow flowers, borne 
continuously. 
CLIMBING QUEEN ALEXANDRA WEEPERS —Most de¬ 
sirable because of glossy and attractive foliage and its sensationally colored double 
flowers of vermilion and old gold. 
The above two varieties, for prompt orders, can be supplied in fine planting con¬ 
dition, packed light for express shipment, not prepaid, for only $7.50 each. 
Our large established specimens, in tubs, in a dozen or more varieties as available, 
are $10.00 to $15.00 each.
