RAFFEL’S NEW METHOD TREE ROSES 
These tree roses are grown by an imprc'ved method much like our “Super Bush Rose.” 
Instead of planting a short cutting in the nursery and training it to a stake, as with 
ordinary tree roses, we plant a cutting the full length the trunk of the tree rose is to 
be, and bud the head directly into this cutting, making a tree rose that has no joint at 
the ground to sucker from. Also, we leave some of the wild top on as with the “Super 
Rose Bushes.” Your care for this top is the same. This type of tree rose will produce 
many times the flowers of those grown the old method. Odorata is used for the under¬ 
stock. 
Budded 24 inches high, No. 1 grade, $1.00 each 
Not less than three of these roses will be mailed to any one address. All orders in Cali¬ 
fornia, send 15 cents extra on each tree rose for postage and packing. Also 3% sales tax. 
All orders from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming 
Colorado, New Mexico and Utah send 20 cents extra on each. All other states, send 
30 cents extra. Send sales tax only on orders in California. Be sure to read page one 
before ordering. Orders amounting to $25.00 or more, we will not charge for packing 
and will ship by express, collect, which will be much cheaper than our regular charge 
for packing and postage on smaller orders. We will dig these tree roses with a ball of 
earth for 25 cents each extra, but do not ship these balled plants. Order these balled 
plants at least one week before calling for them. Read page one before ordering.
