IMPORTANT! Please Read Before Ordering 
PRICES. The prices charged for Jackson & Perkins 
Guaranteed Roses are surprisingly low when the exceptional 
high quality is considered. Because of our tremendous volume 
of sales, both wholesale and retail, we are able to do business 
on very narrow margins of profit. Naturally, it costs us less 
per plant to handle large orders than it does small ones. 
That’s why we can afford to make special group offers such 
as you will find on the pages of this catalog. 
And remember this —if you purchase 3 or more plants of 
any one variety, you are entitled to the reduced dozen rate. 
HOW TO ORDER. Write plainly—preferably print 
your name, address and order. Indicate whether vou are 
Mr., Mrs., or Miss. Don’t fail to give us Post Office Box 
Number, or Street with Number, or Rural Delivery Route— 
also City and State. Check carefully with the catalog for 
prices and always total your order. Address all orders to: 
JACKSON & PERKINS COMPANY 
Box 271 Newark, New York State 
We recommend that you keep a copy of your order to 
check against your shipment. Always tell us when you want 
your order shipped. 
WHEN TO ORDER. Dormant plants should be or¬ 
dered in September or October for immediate planting. 
METHOD OF PACKING. All packing is done by 
men long experienced in shipping plants safely to any 
destination, no matter how distant. 
Dormant plants are shipped in heavy corrugated card¬ 
board boxes that are guaranteed to protect the contents. 
Roots are packed in fresh sphagnum moss. Plants have 
sturdy, bright green stems. Each plant has a waterproof 
label attached to it stating the name of the variety. 
HOW SHIPPED. Unless specific shipping instructions 
are received with order, we will use our own discretion as 
to the best way to ship—by Express or Parcel Post. 
WHEN SHIPPED. Unless otherwise specified, we 
attempt to fill orders as soon as received. During the rush 
season, however, slight delays are bound to occur. In such 
cases we acknowledge the order and write you when we will 
ship. By ordering well in advance and stating a preferred 
date of delivery, you will be assured of receiving your plants 
when you want them. 
SHIPPING CHARGES. We prepay all shipping 
charges on dormant plants and perennials to any destination 
in the United States. Pot-plants are always shipped with 
from ten to fifteen pounds of rich, native soil around their 
roots to insure continued vigorous growth in their new 
environment. The size and weight of these pot-plants is never 
the same. Therefore, we can never tell you in advance what 
the shipping charges will be. For this reason, all pot-plants 
are shipped with Express Charges Collect. 
TERMS. On all orders under $10.00, we must ask cash 
with order. On large orders, charge accounts may be opened. 
To open a charge account, please send us at least one bank 
and three trade references. All charge accounts are due the 
first of the month following date of shipment. 
REMITTANCES. By “Cash with Order,” we mean 
Post Office Money Order, Express Money Order, Draft on 
any Bank, Certified or Personal Check. Stamps are acceptable 
for any payment up to $2.00. DO NOT SEND COINS OR 
CURRENCY THROUGH THE MAILS. Always write the 
amount of your remittance on your order. Do not send extra 
money with your order to cover transportation charges. In 
cases where we do not prepay these charges, as explained, 
plants will be sent transportation collect. If C. O. D. 
shipments are requested, we must have a 10 per cent 
payment in advance and transportation charges will not be 
prepaid. 
IN CASE OF ERROR. No business can be operated 
without occasional errors. We assure you, however, that 
any mistakes due to carelessness or misunderstanding on our 
part will be rectified quickly. Examine your shipment as 
soon as you receive it. If the plants are not exactly as 
represented, or if the shipment is short, or plants are damaged 
in any way— notify us immediately. We’ll see to it that a 
satisfactory adjustment is made as quickly as possible. 
QUALITY OF PLANTS. All original Roses are 
carefully tested in our experimental gardens for a considerable 
period of time before we Degin to grow plants for the market. 
Plants are developed to bring out the finer qualities of their 
particular variety—to make them resistant to disease—to 
make them hardy growers in a great variety of soils and 
under different climatic conditions—to make them produce 
luxuriant blossoms over the maximum period of time that 
nature permits. 
In other words, when you purchase J. & P. Preferred 
Roses, you are getting the finest that Nature, aided by man’s 
ingenuity, can produce. Read the Jackson & Perkins guar¬ 
antee on page 4 of this catalog.
