Tri-ogen Really Kills Insects and Prevents diseases 
SINGLE ROSES 
S IMILAR in growth and habit to the Hybrid Teas, the Singles 
contribute a light and airy grace to the Rose-bed, while their 
elegant buds are ideal for boutonnieres. As subjects for cut- 
flower arrangements, they are unbeatable when cut in the bud and 
allowed to open indoors. Our appreciation of the value of this group 
and the increasing demand for the Single Roses has encouraged us 
to gather together and offer the largest collection of this type in 
the country. 
Pruning and Planting Distance: Same as for Hybrid Teas.

(Value $20.50) for • • * 
STANDARD OR TREE ROSES 
Plant in spring and stake securely, tying 
them with strips of rubber or cloth to prevent 
chafing the stems, and then treat the crown 
like any Hybrid Tea. 
Pruning; Cut back the crowns of freshly 
planted Standards to 3 or 4 eyes. Subsequent 
pruning consists of cutting back the past 
season’s growth to 3 or 4 eyes. 
Winter Protection: Cut the plant away 
from the stake, then bend the stem slowly 
till the head rests on the ground. Loosening 
the roots with a digging-fork, on the side 
opposite from that in which the plant is to be 
bent, will allow the bending to be done with¬ 
out too much strain. Drive a stake in at the 
neck and tie securely, then cover the head 
with soil. It is not necessary to cover the 
stem. 
The following Standards are 31/2 feet high, all on Rugosa stems, $3.50 each, $30 for 10. 
All Standard or Tree Roses are shipped by Express only. 
Packing and shipping charges are paid by the customer, but 
the large box necessary to accommodate the Tree Roses can 
easily take other Roses or shrubs without adding to the cost.
