Mrs. Rose's Garden

by Elaine Greenstein, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Children


Every year at the County Fair, someone else's vegetables are larger and Mrs. Rose goes home ribbonless. This year, she concocts a special mix that works wonders--her vegetables are so big that Mrs. Rose is sure she'll win all the blue ribbons. When gardening becomes more a chore than a pleasure, Mrs. Rose has an idea that will make all the contestants at the County Fair blue-ribbon winners. Full color.

When Mrs. Rose grows a prize crop of vegetables guaranteed to win all the blue ribbons at the County Fair, she is inspired to a generous act involving the gardens of her friends.
