MIRANDY—Needs “a Bigger Word than Glorious.” 
MIRANDY. Patent 632. ARS 75%. Tall. 
Another big, double, 40-50 petalled rose, from the hybridizing genius of 
Dr. W. E. Lammerts. To discuss, ‘vigor, disease-resistance, and plant 
habit” about an All-America winner, seems superfluous, for no rose which 
| is lacking in these qualities can reach top honors. But Mirandy is 
_ acknowledged to be moody in the coastal regions, and thrives best in the 
interior sunshine, where it is an exceptional beauty. Color is garnet-red, 
with that sweet, spicy fragrance. Needs no coddling. 
“I wish Mr. T would write something different about Mirandy. We have quite 
| a varied climate here in New Jersey—cool, warm, rainy, sunny, often all four in 
one day, yet Mirandy is always cheerful ...1 wish I had another word than 
| ‘glorious’ to describe her blooms—they are so gracious and wonderfully fragrant, 
_ and alive to the point of being vivacious. It actually takes my two hands to span 
the open buds.’ H-m-m-m—you have small hands, Miss Mary Louisa 
| Hellings, Titusville, N. J. 
And why should I "write something different’’ when you have done it 
| so nicely for me? 3 for 6.00 each 2.25
