THE 
OF GROWING 
THE NEW VARIETIES 
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 inter¬ 
esting 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 you can be among 
the very first now to enjoy them in your own garden, to dis¬ 
play these beautiful new blooms at Rose shows or the flower 
show of your garden club. 
Not all the pleasure comes in their blooming. There is a 
thrill of pleasant anticipation as you make your selection., 
To clothe a fence or build a screen, you select Doubloons with 
its mass of glistening gold flowers and to grow which no 
special prescription is needed. Then, perhaps, you are un¬ 
decided between the elegant long, yellow bud of Eclipse and 
the majestic polychrome bloom of Signora; or prefer the deli¬ 
cately colored bud and bloom of Gloaming; or, again, a solid 
bed of the flame tints of Carillon. 
Indeed, “fireside gardening’’ has its joy! 
Not Difficult to Grow 
Modern Roses are easier to grow 
because hybridizers have improved 
their methods and the strains. 
Parents have been chosen more care¬ 
fully for hardiness. Jackson & 
Perkins’ novelties are renowned for 
their vigor, reliability, and adapt¬ 
ability to most conditions. They 
will also thrive in a much wider 
territory than the older types, being 
specially bred for greater winter 
hardiness. 
Now you can enjoy the 
elegant, sleek perfection of 
Eclipse, winner of the world’s 
most coveted awards.
