HAVE SOMETHING NEW, 
BEAUTIFUL and DIFFERENT— 
“Crene Myrtle” 
SHRUB ROSE 
As its name indicates, it grows in the form of a sturdy 
shrub, reaching a height of 4 to 6 feet in the North and 
Mid-West, taller in the South. Heavy canes grow up- 
right and are extremely thorny. This feature makes this 
an ideal plant for an informal flowering hedge. Keeps 
off trespassers and makes a thick screen to insure pri- 
vacy for outdoor living areas. Also fine for specimen 
plants at the corners of a flower or Rose garden. This 
is an everblooming Rose and bears abundant bloom over 
the entire season from June until freezing fall weather. 
Flowers are large, very double, fragrant and have an 
exotic shimmering pink color. Bush is very hardy and 
may be kept trimmed at the desired height and in the 
desired shape. Plant ‘Crepe Myrtle’’ Roses if you want 
to have something new and different. Excellent for use 
with shrubs in the border as they provide plenty of color 
when other blooms are scarce.

World’s Smallest Rose, “Tiny Gleam” 
Could you see God 
As you looked into a Rose, 
Tossing its head 
When the south wind blows? 
As you looked upon the Lily 
And studied its chalice 
Could you see the angels 
In their golden palace? 
Where the Hollyhocks were blooming 
Beside a humble home 
Could you picture it a palace, 
Though it had no gilded dome? 
| could. 

So | thank God for a garden, 
Woodland flowers, trees, and birds; 
Life is sweet, | find contentment 
That | can’t express in words. 
Sort of feel a closer union 
With the presence we call God, 
When | see that life is springing 
From each cranny, cleft, and clod. 
DR. C. W. MOTZ.
