Hliniature Roses 
All of these Roses are $1.00 each; 3 of a kind for $2.50 
The three rate holds for three of one 
variety. All our Miniature Roses are sent to 
you in 3 or 4-inch pots. 
These charming little Roses, sometimes 
called “Miniatures,” seldom grow more than 
a foot high. Through small and dainty, 
they are comparatively hardy. They should 
never be planted right in among other 
everblooming Roses, although they do make 
nice edging plants for the small Rose garden. 
They are at home among the smaller rock- 
garden and alpine plants in a favored or 
sheltered location. They do not thrive as 
house plants but do well in a small green- 
house.
