Standard or Cree Roses 
Tree Roses can be planted in beds with your other Roses. They 
occupy little or no ground space. They add greatly to the beauty of 
any Rose garden, and they can be used with delightful effect along 
driveways. Our plants are budded on selected, heavy, straight, 3¥2-ft.

Very prolific. This extraordinary Rose has been widely discussed and 
tested in this country and found good.

Sterling (U. S. Plant Patent No. 201) Each $3.50 
A magnificent flaming pink flower of superb form in bud as well as 
open. The base of the bloom is yellow, giving it a richness as wel! as 
clarity of color seldom observed. It has excellent foliage, grows 
strongly and blooms very freely in summer as well as in autumn. A 
sterling novelty. 
CARE OF 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 without too much 
strain. Drive a stake in at the neck and tie securely, then cover the 
head with soil. Protect stem by wrapping in burlap or paper. 
FOOD FOR THOUGHT 
As Well as for Your Flowers 
Plants, anything that grows in the soil, are exactly the same in their 
food needs as humans. There are plenty of what might be called the 
shot-in-the-arm kinds of ready mixed fertilizers. But, they are mostly 
only stimulants. 
What your plants need is a balanced organic food. Not just a stimu- 
lant. They need one containing in right amounts, those things that 
make plenty of strong roots, produce good sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage 
and an abundance of good sized blooms. 
That’s exactly the kind of Plant Food we use at Wayside. Much of 
our success in growing such unfailingly fine plants is due to it. 
What it has done, and is doing for 600 miles of plants, it will do for 
your garden.

stems, and will bloom all summer and until frost with the regular 
bush Hybrid Teas. Tree Roses give an added look of distinction to 
any garden, providing a second dimension. 
HALF STANDARD ROSES 
Stems 2) to 3 Feet High 
One of the most interesting features in European Rose gardens is what 
is called ‘‘Half-Standards.’” A half standard is a Rose plant grown on a 
stem about 21% to 3 feet high. The Roses selected for this treatment are 
not the large flowered Hybrid Teas but the perpetual flowering, small 
Polyanthas or so-called Baby Rambler types. ’ 
The effect they create is most attractive and charming, and what is all 
important is their untiring blooming. From early June until stopped by 
frost they are covered with flowers. They require no pruning. All that is 
necessary is to remove the old flower stems of the preceding season. With 
slight protection they winter over much more readily than the Hybrid Teas. 
You will enjoy the effect they create in small Rose beds. 
Susanna Bertsch Each $3.00 
A perfectly beautiful new Polyantha Rose. Perhaps the finest to date. 
A color not seen heretofore in Roses, best described as a soft salmon- 
shrimp-pink. Very brilliant and sparkling in tone. Makes a lovely head. 
Carroll Ann Each $3.00 
This is one of the best of a new form. The flowers are shaped like 
Ranunculus blooms, an entirely new form in Roses. The incurving petals 
produce perfectly charming globe-shaped flowers which grow in large 
clusters. The color is salmon-orange and does not discolor or fade in 
the hottest sun. Heads of medium size. 
Cecile Brunner Each $3.00 
A dainty variety with small double blooms of perfect form. They are 
arranged in many-flowered, graceful sprays. Soft rosy pink on a rich, 
creamy white ground. Moderately fragrant.

Double. soft rosy pink blooms fully 2 inches in diameter. Has showy 
large flower clusters. 
Sparkler Each $3.00 
Dazzling deep crimson-red flowers in nicely formed clusters. Will make 
a brilliant splash of color. Would look well in a bed of white Petunias 
or other low growing white flowers.
