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 Surely when the F l e m i n g thermionic value has been replaced by the trap-sistor and the computer has become a ,little black box, surely some scientist might be susidized by the Din- ers' Club or Gourmets Anony- mous, to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 C WILLING&READY, `'...

Super Star and 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: PINDER PLUMBING - . HEATING .,SHEET METAL,= JA, 4-8442 44 VICTORIA ST.

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.
