Driving through the streets of Springville this season of the year and observing the brilliant, colorful displays of roses blooming in profusion, is something everyone should take time out to do. This has been a good spring for roses and, while some gardens are blooming early, most are producing pro-ducing a profusion of blooms. Many of the best of these roses will be displayed at the annual flower show during Art City Days at the civic center, to which the public is invited. One of the consistent winners of most such displays is the famous Comanche pictured at ueft.

The buds of Comanche are very long and pointed, slowly unfolding in urn shaped grace to glowing 50 petal flowers of vivid orange scarlet backed by a hot brick red. Not only will this rose, with its vivid blooms and vigorous, well shaped shap-ed plants, attract attention in any part of the home grounds in which it may be planted, but its long, perfect buds and the substance and form of the fully ful-ly opened flowers will also be welcomed by exhibitors and arrangers. ar-rangers. Comanche grows erect as a tall, thick, well-shaped bush. This habit suggests its value as a background plant, as well as qualifying it for use as a tall and attractive hedge. The foliage, bright green in color, of leathery texture and highly resistant to disease, well covers cov-ers the entire plant.
