B Roses 



Miniature Roses have a surprisingly large scope 

 usefulness. A half-dozen plants will provide a 

 ntinuous supply of flowers from May until frost 

 r enticing miniature arrangements, as they are 

 erblooming. For personal adornment in the hair, 

 , a necklace, or bracelet, they are novel and in the 

 ist of taste. Plant them around the pool, in the 

 ck garden, as a narrow border, or to provide the 

 lishing touch to any bed or border. As a special 

 iniature garden with little pathways, arches, seats, 

 c, they will thrill you and your friends. DeUght- 

 1, too, for growing in window and porch boxes.

•SWEET FAIRY 



(De Vink.) Plant Pat. 748. A winsome addition 

 and the first of the Miniatures to be favored with a 

 rich Rose fragrance. It has deep pink buds opening 

 into very double, 1-inch blooms of cheerful apple- 

 blossom-pink, well displayed above a foil of dark 

 green leaves. The fragrant, long-lasting flowers 

 are carried on erect stems long enough to make them 

 easy to arrange in miniature bouquets. Order early — 

 the supply is limited. Pot plants: $1.25 ea.; 3 for 

 $3.15, postpaid. 



•TOM THUMB 



Plant Pat. 169. A trim little fellow, erect and 

 well filled out. He will hold you spellbound as you 

 explore his exquisite beauty. You will marvel at 

 the perfection of the tiny buds when the sepals 

 spread apart, exposing the rich crimson petals in- 

 side. And when they expand into urn-shaped, deep 

 crimson blooms you will be amazed that anything 

 so small can be so beautiful. As the flower petals 

 relax, they bring into view a generous touch of 

 white at the base of each. Together they make a 

 soft-edged white eye that accentuates the purity and 

 richness of the crimson color. Pot plants: 75 cts.; 

 3 for $1.90; 12 for $7.50; 25 for $13.75, postpaid. 



Miniature Roses Are Hardy 



Care for them as you would for Hybrid Teas. 

 Their cultural requirements are summed up on a 

 card enclosed with each shipment. This also tells 

 about handling them indoors though, strictly speak- 

 ing, they are not house plants. Kept growing in 

 the garden from spring until early January, they 

 may be potted up after they have had a short, cold 

 winter rest. They will add beauty and interest to a 

 sunny, cool window or the sun porch during the 

 winter months.
