their outstanding virtues on standards. All but two varieties which cannot be duplicated 
of their type are of the spreading or lateral growth so desirable for tree roses. 
TREE ROSES ARE MUCH HEALTHIER, much less subject to mildew and black- 
spot, than the same varieties grown as bushes, for they are away from contamination of 
the ground, and air circulates freely through the branches. The hardy hybridized stems 
are pliable, so that in cold climates the tree may be bent to the ground and the head 
covered with earth in winter. All colors of roses listed are as nearly sunproof as any but 
plastic roses can be, for standards are nearly always grown in full sun. 
Tree roses must be carefully boxed for shipment. The boxing and packing charge is 
$1.50 for from one to three, 50c each for any above, in addition to the postage. There 
is no discount on standards, for they are remarkable values as quoted. All are twice- 
worked. 
SHORT STANDARDS 
NIGGER BOY—The pointed dusky crimson velvet buds of this rose, buds that open to 
fully double blooms of intense crimson with a glowing scarlet underlay, are a fitting 
complement to the fine plant of this symmetrical border rose, its use in bush form. 
On a short tree stem this beautiful rose will make garden visitors open their eyes.

TOPAZ—This miniature rose, which is about the most charming little rascal in rose 
form that could be evolved, deepens the yellow of its buds in sun and heat to the 
topaz of its name. The miniature buds are of exhibition form, with long furling points, 
and open into completely double “baby exhibition roses’ with quilled petals, every 
one a copy of perfection in miniature. The spreading little bush is just right for

ANGELS MATEU—This richly fragrant orange-coral rose with its fine big fully double 
bloom set off by glossy foliage flaunts its beauty to even finer advantage when used 
as a tree rose. It holds its glowing color in full sun better than any of its sisters of 
these bright hues. A gorgeous standard, upright growing....-......--------------------------- $3.50 
CRIMSON GLORY—Roses from a Hennessey standard of Crimson Glory will make the 
most hardened rose grower catch his breath, for the huge buds and blooms of richest 
crimson velvet are truly glorious. Richly fragrant with damask perfume and perfect 
for cutting, these blooms have enchanted thousands even from ordinary plants, and 
from my standards they are a revelation. On my standards it fairly outdoes its

KARDINAL—I have watched this beautiful rose with increasing admiration for several 
years. The velvety fully double bright scarlet-ctimson blooms, deliciously fragrant, 
keep their wonderful color and excellent form on the bush for an astonishing length 
of time; the buds and blooms develop perfectly with finest color in practically any 
weather, when many fine red roses are looking very unhappy indeed....................-. $4.00 
LADY MANDEVILLE—A small healthy sturdy bush with glossy olive-red foliage, 
producing on the little bushes a most striking big pointed bud and a fully double rose 
of the finest exhibition form. The color of this new rose is an unusual soft apricot-to-
