Miniature Roses — petite, adorable, yet sturdy 

 and strong despite their diminutive size — make 

 Fairyland a living, growing reality. No other flower 

 could possibly convey the spirit of this little wonder- 

 land so appropriately as Roses, the Queen of Flow- 

 ers. There's life and activity as the wee green buds, 

 frequently not larger than a grain of wheat, push 

 upward on slender stems where they can sun them- 

 selves and expand into lovely little blooms of 

 thumb-nail size. They are intriguing little plants, 

 6 to 8 inches tall, with tiny rich green leaves almost 

 as alluring as the flowers. 



• BO-PEEP

Plant Pat. 466. Perfect in every detail, with buds 

 no larger than a grain of wheat and flowers a mere 

 ^ inch across when fully expanded. The bright

Miniature Roses have a surprisingly large scope 

 of usefulness. A half-dozen plants will provide a 

 continuous supply of flowers from May until frost 

 for enticing miniature arrangements, as they are 

 everblooming. For personal adornment in the hair, 

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

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

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

 finishing touch to any bed or border. As a special 

 miniature garden with little pathways, arches, seats, 

 etc., they will thrill you and your friends. Delight- 

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

• RED ELF 



Plant Pat. 973. New. The 

 richest and deepest of them 

 all — a velvety Bordeaux-red 

 showing a bit of white at the 

 base of the petals when the 

 blooms are fully expanded. 

 There is beauty galore from the 

 time the tiny buds open until 

 the flowers reach their full 5^- 

 inch width. You will be de- 

 lighted, too, with the strong 

 growth of the miniature plants 

 and their profusion of bloom, 

 which starts in late May and 

 lasts almost until frost.

 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 h.ive 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.

 little fellow, sure to hold you 

 spellbound by its unusual

 tensely rich crimson flower 

 petals. On expanding, the 

 white base of the petals comes 

 into view, enlivening the blooms 

 by its contrast.
