HAVE LIVED FOR SIXTY-SIX YEARS 
recognition when, in 1902, it introduced 
the now-famous Dorothy Perkins Climber 
which, after thirty-seven years, is still 
among the most widely disseminated Roses 
in cultivation. Its position of leadership 
then, as now, has enabled it to develop close 
relationships with great hybridizers both 
in this country and in Europe, so that its 
name has become almost synonymous with 
the introduction of new and improved 
Roses. 
It has, today, the sole rights of testing 
and distributing in this country the intro¬ 
ductions of such famous nurseries as Samuel 
McGredy & Son, of Ireland, and that other 
outstanding Irish house, Alex. Dickson & 
Sons, whose contributions extend from the 
well-beloved Killarney Rose in 1898 to the 
marvelous new Dicksons Red, which this 
year won the Gold Medal of the National 
Rose Society of England, the Clay Cup for 
Fragrance, and the first award for Hybrid 
Teas in the “All-America Selections” for 
1940. 
Not the least of the reasons why Jackson 
& Perkins have been chosen by such leading 
rosarians to disseminate the greatest of their 
new Roses is the reputation this Company 
has carefully built, throughout its sixty-six 
years in business, for producing only plants 
of the finest quality, capable of perpetuating 
the precious characteristics of color, fra¬ 
grance, and hardiness which these hybrid¬ 
ists have carefully bred into their modern 
varieties. 
Today, that reputation is symbolized to 
the public in the simple label which is 
attached to every plant shipped from our 
gardens—a label that bears the Jackson & 
Perkins name, standing always for healthy, 
vigorous Roses of only one grade—the best.
