GROWINg 
E T I E S 
A friend may be able to describe the thrill of a glamorous 
“first night” at the theatre . . . the thrill of visiting strange 
lands ... of finding a prized antique ... of dining with 
some interesting personage. And, yet, this same friend would 
find it difficult, indeed, to convey the beauty and the joy of 
growing the New Rose creations. 
Some of these New Roses will become famous and house¬ 
hold words throughout the world, like Dorothy Perkins, 
Marechal Niel, and American Beauty. But now you can be 
among the very first to enjoy them in your own community; 
and your sponsorship of the ones you like most will help send 
them on their way to fame. 
Not all the pleasure comes in their blooming. There is a 
thrill of pleasant anticipation as you make your selection. To 
clothe a fence, you select Princess van Orange (the most talked- 
of climber in Europe), with its masses of dazzling, orange- 
scarlet flowers. Then, perhaps, you are undecided between the 
brilliant flame tints of Carillon and the apricot shades of 
Alezane, the Spanish new-comer. Or, again, you make your 
selection between the already famous and superb Countess 
Vandal and the fire and flash of the new Matador. 
Not Diffiailt to Grow 
Modern Roses are easier to grow because hybridizers have 
improved their methods and the strains and parents have been 
chosen more carefully for hardiness. Jackson & Perkins novel¬ 
ties are renowned for their vigor, 
reliability, and adaptability to most 
conditions. They will also thrive in a 
much wider territory than the older 
types, being specially bred for greater 
winter hardiness.
