★ SWEET FAIRY. (De Vink.) Plant 
Pat. 748. NEW. See illustration at right. 
This winsome addition to the continuous- 
blooming Miniature Roses has the added 
charm of being the first to be favored with 
true, rich Rose fragrance. 
Dainty, deep pink buds open to charm- 
ing, very double, 1-inch blooms of apple- 
blossom-pink. The tiny, dark green 
foliage makes a lovely foil for these ex- 
quisite, long-lasting, fragrant flowers. 
Blooms are held firmly erect on stems long 
enough to make them easy to arrange as 
cut flowers. They make striking miniature 
arrangements. 
The American Rose Society rating of 
81% in its first year of judging indicates 
the high quality of Sweet Fairy and its 
general appeal. Pot plants: $1.25 ea.; 
3 for $3.15; 12 for $12.50; 25 for $23.45, 
postpaid. 
★TOM THUMB. Plant Pat. 169. See 
illustration showing the size in comparison 
with a thimble, which was used as a vase, 
in the upper picture. "A red Rose-bud the 
size of a grain of wheat, and a young plant 
you could cover with a coffee cup" — that, 
in a nutshell, is Tom Thumb. The dainty 
crimson buds are enchanting as they open 
to glowing crimson, urn-shaped blooms. 
The deep crimson of the bud grows 
slightly lighter as the bloom opens, and 
then you discover a bright eye in the 
center of each flower, formed by a touch 
of white at the base of each petal. Pot 
plants: 75 cts. ea.; 3 for $1.88; 12 for 
$7.50; 25 for $13.75, postpaid.
