Show TOjMFOQLERY, I It's just too bad Gertrude Stein isn't around to see v,hat V H Gunderson, North Sanpete's indefatigable beautify ;fl tion missionary, has written about the rose. - The late Miss Stein, as you remember, immortal herself by giving to the world the line which goes, "A ro;e S is a rose is a rose." Now comes V. H. with a piece devoted to roses 1 'i ': makes Gertrude sound like a shrinking violet We just had - to get that part about the shrinking violet in somewhere. y V. H, has prepared three pages, single spaced, informa. l 1: -,1,, a nnnA mflnv more than the three roses vA;.i :'. 11U11 QJJUUi " y i t - "'U'.ll ,,; : threw Miss Stein'st admireers into such a tizzy. (On clo examination, it looks as if Miss Stein was talking about t only one rose). Anyway, V. H.'s contribution to rose lore contains the names of over 300 different types of roses take that Ger-trude Ger-trude and any one of them can be obtained at wholesale ' price by any North Sanpete resident interested enough to let V. H. know so that he can order your choice from the nursery. v,r The lists which V. H. has prepared are here waiting 'f! for you at the Pyramid. So if you're a rose fancier come on , ( in and get yours. Even if you're not a rose fancier, the thing makes inter- iff! esting reading. For instance, the list indicates that the guy who naiej Pullman cars has also had a try at roses. Some examples-the examples-the Irish Fireflame, Little Gem, Los Angeles, Vesuvias, Go!-den Go!-den Salmon, Lafayette and Pres. H. Hoover. And speaking of Pres. H. Hoover, he's not the on'y celebrity whose name got tacked on a rose. There a-e : according to V. H.'s list, the General McArthur, the Lowell Thomas, the Roger Prior and one named for a fellow na- t J. Otto Thillow. Just to give you an idea of what rose growers think of the comparative merits of Pres. H. Hoover ad General McArthur as roses, that is the Hoover blocs sells for a buck and the asking price for the general is that. But you can get 'em wholesale. We could go on like this indefinitely, but best yoi come in and get a list for yourself. The lists are free ad V. H. says he'll help you choose the types that will look best in your garden. |
