Alpine Midge! Rose 
For many years this beautiful little Rose was lost 
to cultivation, but several years ago a plant was 
found growing in an Alpine window garden by a 
famous Swiss horticulturist and now at last, plants 
are ready for your garden. 
The beautiful thing about this little Rose is the 
perfect form of the completely opened blossoms. 
They do not become mis'shapen like their larger 
relatives, but remain wonderfully symmetrical with 
double rows of pretty pink petals beautifully 
streaked with red—pretty golden yellow centers. 
Blooms about 1 inch across. 
The buds are the most beautiful you ever saw on any 
Rose—shaped just like tiny Cupid’s darts with the red petals 
staining the point, for all the world as if a heart had just been 
pierced. The Alpine Midget Rose gives you beautiful flowers 
all summer right through the entire blooming season until 
freezing weather. 
Here is something entirely new for your garden. This little 
Rose grows only 8 to 10 inches high and 8 to 10 inches) 
across. It is the Tiny Tim of Roses. Leaves are so tiny that 
a whole spear of them could be shown natural size on a 
postage stamp. Ideal for rock gardens, for low borders and 
even for potting. Can be used in large bed? if placed out 
front. 
Hardy! Alpine Midget Rose is, for all its small size, hardy 
as an oak and it stands the coldest freezing weather. Remem' 
ber that it came from the rugged slopes of the Alps Moun' 
tains where it has learned to cheerfully endure the severest 
of winters. You can rely on Alpine Midget Rose in every way.
