M niatlure Rase$
„.-! The ' gustatory storms of
Thanksgiving, ha"e subsided and
a •house to pause canvass shows
-•k.onclusirvely-that-the-eoncent a-
t on of left -over turkey has been
retiticed to a° non-toxic level
once more.. Nevertheless the
thought persists: Why, in this
space age, which has given us
the technique of mi:niaturiza-
•" fiord, have the rearers of turkeys
never managed to evolve \a min-
iature turkey? Surely when the
F l e m i n g thermionic value
has been replaced by
the trap-sistor and the
computer has become a ,little
black box, surely some scientist
might be susidized by the Din-
ers' Club or Gourmets Anony-
mous, to breed a turkey for -
small Tfamilies. But now "not
all your piety and wit shall
lure it back" and for the nonce
a great gulf is fixed between
ourselves and croquettes and
tetrazzinis for a period of two
months only.
• Talking of miniaturization
leads on, horticulturally speak-
ing, to the age-old technique de
monstrated in 'bonsai tree ,
baby cacti and finally miniatuFe
roses. --France has known them
'for a long time. Just now their
popularity has spread' to the
North American continent and
we shall see more and more of
them as time goes by. They
-have- the advantage of being
very hardy and may be grown
outdeors or inside in pots. Most
are from six to eight inches
high, forming-miniaturebushes.
and bearing an abundance of
perfectly formed little roses
varying from :yi to one inch in
diameter. A perfect little min-
iature, Dwarf King, was ex-
hibited in -an arrangement at
our August flower show and its
fetching appearance spurred
several people to order speci-
mens from McGredy this -year.
Dwarf King is blood red. Coral-
-in is a completely new color, 'a
coral red. Rosina is a deep
golden yellow. Little Buckaroo
is bright red with bronzy glossy
fo .1 rose pink compan-
n to, Dwarf King is Dwarf
Queen, while Baby Masquerade'
is 'yellow flushed with red. This
last is a great favorite in the
States. It is ad -eight -inch plant

ten a rose when it has crossed

Tropicana is a recent example.!
In this case Juliette looks very
much like Dwarf King and
Baby Masquerade like Baby
Talisman. A miniature called
Maid Marion in England is
known as Red Imp in the U.S.A,.
One of the smallest varieties is
Rosa Rouletti, a rose -pink Swiss
miniature, the plants of -which
are four to six inches high.
There are climbing miniatures
to be had too.
—Miniatures,- require feeding,
good drainage, plenty of sun-
shine and moisture When rais-
ed in pots. it is advisable to
encase the pot in peat moss,
supported by a pot of larger
diameter than that in which the
rose is planted and the peat
kept wet. In England, with its
milder climate, these miniatures
are often planted in small form-
al plots combined with dwarf
box, blue lobelia and white
alyssum. • They are, used in
rock gardens and as a dwarf
hedge with which to Kedge a bed.
The design of a plot requires
careful consideration as to scale.
When cut for a bouquet, the
vase should not be more than
four inches high. When plant-
ed as a hedge, a distance of
about 12 -inch centres is about
right except for the very small
varieties.
There is a book devoted Sole-
ly to these small roses. "Minia-
ture Roses" by •Roy Genders and
published by • the Blandford
Press at 16 .West Central street,
London W,C,1. Price • 15 shill-
ings. It gives' advice on care,
on the planning of miniature
rose gardens and on growing
them in tubs and pots. It also
contains an annotated list of
the varieties available, many of
which have still to make the
perilous crossing:

That's quite a -claim --tile world ;s most completely
rustproofed car: But Rambjer is perfectly, justified in
making it ,No otherautomotive r ianufacturer inthe
world is so thorough. Our Deep Dip 'rustproofing
process is the most extensive in the industry, And this
year, with the introduction of'Uniside', an exclusive
new way of building cars, we have increased the
amount of galvanized:lmetal on the car by seven times!
Our exclusive Deep Dip method of rustproofing was
developed at the. Rambler plant in Brampton, Ontario.
It is specifically designed to fight the,rigours of Cana-
dian weather and driving conditions. This is what we
do: the entire car body isimrersed completely into
„six separate baths which clean, scour and seal the
surface of the steel.
After that the car is again dipped to the ;oofline IA a
rustproofing primer paint which fills every corner of
the car body. In this way, there is not one area of
surface of the car which has not been protected.
There's no casual spraying in this process that might
miss vital areas and leave them exposed.
So you see, it's no idle boast when we claim that we
have the world's most completely rustproofed car.
Why do we go° to so much,-troubleP Because it's part
of our firm policy of providing 'maximum usefulness
to the user'. Visit your Rambler Dealer soon, and test
drivdthe new 1963 Rambler Classic and discover how
much this policy means to your -driving pleasure and
convenience.
