HALF STANDARD ROSES 
Stems 21 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. 
Each $4.00 
Susanna Bertsch 
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 $4.00 
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. 
Each $4.06 
Cecile Brunner 
A dainty variety with small double blooms of perfect form. They are 
arranged in many-flowered, graceful sprays. Soft rosy pink ona rich 
creamy white ground. Moderately fragrant. 
Each $4.00 
Mrs, R. M. Finch 
Double, soft rosy pink blooms fully 2 inches in diameter. Has showy 
large flower clusters. 
Sparkler Each $4.00 
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.
