R. Marion Hatton.  New Roses in America
Miss America is the new name of Dr. Nicholas' Opal which I reported on last year. Sears, Roebuck and Co., the large mail order firm, bought the entire crop of it last year, sold it under a number, and offered a trip to Hollywood for a name; of course, contestants had to have bought plants. Miss America was the result. It did very well last year; in fact, it produced more bloom than most of the varieties under observation. I have an idea it will succeed.

In the second place [after Mrs. Verschuren] I list Miss America (Nicolas, 1938), a vigorous, hardy and healthy sort, producing massive exhibition blooms of great size and lasting qualities with fair freedom. My criticism is that the color is not sufficiently diistinctive, otherwise very impressive.
