Tree Roses 
For lending the garden a touch of formality, few plants can equal the 
colorful tree roses. Standard, or tree-shaped roses are grown by bud- 
ding the desired variety into a tall straight stalk at a height of 36 
inches. The bushy head usually produces more flowers and larger 
ones than the bush type of the same variety. 
Shipped Bare Root 
During the months of January, February, and March, dormant, bare 
root trees may be safely shipped for immediate planting to Pacific 
Coast areas, warmer sections of the Southern States, and portions of 
the East Coast. Because tree roses are extremely hard to handle and 
because special costly cartons are required to make sure that you re- 
ceive them in the same fine condition in which they left the nursery, 
we make a 50c charge for packing and mailing each tree rose. 
Prices on all bare root, dormant Tree Roses, $4.50 each; $40.00 
per 10. Ten assorted Tree Roses sold at the 10-rate. (Add 50c per 
tree for shipping charges.)
