MRS. MINIVER—"'Blazing and dazzling.” 
MRS. MINIVER. Patent 725. ARS 70%. Medium. 
Hunting for adjectives to express our special liking for the beauteous 
Miniver, we select ‘blazing and dazzling red”... the petals “wave like the 
roof of a Chinese Pagoda.”” The whole effect is full of grace and brilliance, 
unexcelled, in our humble opinion, by any other red rose. 
After the many misfortunes and vicissitudes which beset the life of a 
rose-grower, at long last, we should have enough Mrs. Miniver in 1955 to 
fill our accumulation of orders and gratify new admirers. 
We were honored by a visit from the “real’’ Mrs. Miniver (Greer Garson.) 
She has a green thumb and... everything! 3 for 6.50 each 2.50 
MME. MELANIE SOUPERT. H. T. (Soo-pair.) Medium. 
Another beautiful French rose from Pernet-Ducher, prolific creator of many 
of the world’s most famous roses. A lusty grower—the flower is very 
| large, well formed and fragrant, in unusual tones of yellow, apricot and 
| salmon. Much too good to be only a printed name in rose history. 
Happiest in a warm, dry climate—not a ‘seashore rose.” 
3 for 4.50 each 1.75 
MOJAVE. Patent 1176. ARS 79%. 34 inches. (Mo-hah-vay.) 
| Tall, compact and shapely plant, with bright, glossy foliage—a proud 
All-America Winner for 1954. “Radiant orange, highlighted by flame-like 
tones of scarlet and vermilion” says the originator—the color of a flaming 
sunset on California's Mojave desert. 
Like all Charlotte Armstrong's progeny, has the long, tapering bud, 
of today’s fashion, long cutting-stems, and a plant and bloom habit rated 
with the best. o1or ys .20. edch 240
