MINIATURE ROSES 
After trying to see how large roses could be grown, some 
hybridizers are now turning their attention to growing the 
tiniest roses possible. Miniature roses are very suitable for 
pot and window box gardening, also for rock gardens. Chil¬ 
dren take a great interest in them and a child’s love for plant 
life may be developed through caring for one of these lovely 
little roses. 
Tom Thumb Rose Its introducer describes it as “A red rose¬ 
bud the size of a grain of wheat, a bloom that can open in a 
thimble, a young plant that may be covered with a coffee 
cup.” Color of the bud is deep crimson. The open flower is 
somewhat lighter with an “eye” at the center formed by the 
touch of white at the base of each petal. A perfect, sturdy 
little bush that blooms from early spring until frost. Patent 
applied for. (Stock very limited.) $1.00. 
Rosa Rouletti. At a recent rose show a dozen blooms of this 
rose were exhibited in a walnut shell nestling in the heart of 
a Belle of Portugal rose. Flowers are of perfect form, fully 
double, dark pink in color. A very healthy little plant, grow¬ 
ing cheerfully and blooming freely under almost any condi¬ 
tions. The world’s smallest rose. 75c. 
THE GOLDEN GATE COLLECTION 
The gorgeous coloring of the roses in this collection will 
light up your garden like a sunset over the Golden Gate. We 
have selected these three roses for the following qualities : 
(1) Strong growth ; (2) Cutting value ; (3) Colorful garden 
effect; (4) Free blooming habit; (5) Health and vigor. They 
will give splendid results in practically any garden. 
Hinrich Gaede. H.T. (1931) The most popular new rose on 
the market today, giving satisfaction wherever it has been 
grown. Color is more brilliant than our illustration shows. 
The big, shapely buds which are borne singly on very long, 
strong stems are rust-red. Open blooms are fully double, 
rosy-copper in color with brilliant orange tones and dark 
veining on the outer petals. Few roses bloom so freely— 
no sooner is one crop of buds opened than a new one is 
started. Foliage is dark green and very resistant to mildew. 
$ 1 . 00 . 
Duquesa de Penaranda. H.T. (1931) Whether in bud or 
fully opened flower, this rose is gloriously beautiful. The 
slender, shapely buds are brilliant orange and open to fully 
double blooms of golden peach and salmon shades. A very 
vigorous grower with glossy, disease resistant foliage. $1.00. 
Southport. H.T. (1934) One of the finest red roses intro¬ 
duced in recent years. Buds are nicely formed and open 
flowers are sufficiently double. Color is bright red with a hint 
of gold at the heart of the bloom. Pleasing though not strong 
perfume. Plant is vigorous and easy to grow. We recommend 
Southport to those wanting a good red rose for cutting. $1.25.
