Star Miniature Roses bring another new dimension 

 and fascination to the pleasure of gardening. True 

 Miniature versions of the classic Hybrid Tea roses, 

 these exotic Miniatures are amazing in their hardi- 

 ness, disease resistance, profuse quantities of flowers 

 and complete versatility. Most grow only 10 to 14 

 inches high, with Pixie and Bo-Peep seldom exceed- 

 ing 8 inches. The buds and blooms are perfectly 

 formed, with petals unfolding from a bud the size of a grain of 

 wheat to a fully double bloom no larger than a quarter. Tiny leaves, 

 thorns and branches are in proportion to the bloom, making a rose in 

 miniature that is completely charming. Miniature Roses are grown 

 exactly like other roses. In small plots of their own they are ideal. 

 Or use them in beds at the foot of larger plants, as borders along 

 walks and patios, and in rock gardens. There's no end to the un- 

 usual effects you can get from them. The Miniatures offered here 

 were selected for their fine color and excellent vigor and hardiness. 

 Many of pur customers take advantage of our special collections. In 

 addition to saving money, they can enjoy the unique beauty of a 

 number of different kinds.
