coloring, this is the most exciting new Rose yet, to our minds. Its gold, orange 
and flamingo coloring ts brilliant and unusual enough to give a real shock of 
delight. The form of its buds and opening blooms is an added thrill. Nature 
has produced, in Miami, a superb design. 
This Rose, however, is only for those who can use a bit of luxury in life. 
It is somewhat in the class of a yacht or a race-horse. Not that it is expensive, 
but if you want quantity of bloom with little care, or have little space for 
Roses, you may well prefer varieties like Peace, Crimson Glory, Radiance, 
etc. Miami is not lavish with its bloom, and it needs protection against mildew. 
It is a Rose for a person who really enjoys rare beauty enough to take a little 
extra pains to get it. And Miami has extraordinary beauty. 
The plant is upright, of moderate height, with abundant, jade- 
green leaves that are resistant to black-spot. Blooms are 4% to 5 
inches across, with 25 to 35 very heavy petals. Buds are coppery 
coral-red. Opening blooms are a lavish splash of colors. The long, 
sharply cone-shaped center is flamingo, or coppery coral-red. 
Around it, the outer petals roll back, like heavy gold brocade, 
marked with exotic tints of orange-buff and salmon-orange. Some- 
times there are even brown tones—shades found in Iris but new for 
Roses. Its fragrance Is spicy-sweet. $2 ea.; 3 or 
more, $1.75 ea.

Peace is a sunset caught in a Rose. “The loveliest 
flower this side of Heaven,” another writer put it. 
Certainly, it is by far the most popular and the fastest- 
selling Rose ever. If you grow it in your garden, you 
can see the reason why. The gallant way those mighty 
stems lift the proud blooms endears it to the heart 
of any gardener. The sparkling freshness and ever- 
changing beauty of the flowers bring a lift to the spirit 
of almost everyone who sees it. And it Is practically 
always in bloom, so it is there to be seen. 
Peace flowers are the most long lasting of all Hybrid 
Tea Roses. The buds are golden, with a flash of pink 
along the petal edges. They open very slowly to un- 
usually handsome full blooms of yellow, pale gold, 
cream and ivory with a varying flush of pik on the

edges of the lightly ruffled petals. Peace Roses vary 
in color from day to day and from flower to flower but 
are always beautiful, always with that other-world 
look of delicacy and dewy freshness, although it is one 
of the largest of all Roses. 
The final miracle of Peace is that the plant Is as 
remarkable as the blooms, with long, straight, mag- 
nificently strong stems and some of the most hand- 
some, shining, dark green foliage known to Roses. 
If you have room for only one Rose, plant Peace. 
If you are blessed with greater space, plant as many 
as you can. It will repay you. To see these Roses in 
your own garden on a quiet summer evening Is to 
know pure beauty and a very real sense of peace.
