People are crazy about miniatures. They buy innumerable tiny figures in shops, representing creatures of every kind and description, and mount them on display in their homes for family and friends to examine. Garden clubs specialize in miniatures—tiny receptacles containing little sprays of flowers. Rock gardens pay less attention to large masses of floral display, and more to dainty little flowering things. One thing after another is brought into prominence, and if it is tiny, its praises are sung. Miniature Roses have an ardent appeal. Conard-Pyle’s garden display is said to have attracted crowds all day long. Their little Rose plants are perfect miniatures of those of usual size, and the public gloats over them in much the same spirit as they would over jewels of splendor. To develop or harbor a fad is a good commercial enterprise. ~~ 3" pots, immediate or spring delivery. o MIDGET. A Red Circle Rose (de Vink). Cerise. Patent 466.
