Make Yours 
a Modern Garden 
AMONG the visitors to the New York 
World’s Fair, many thousands have 
paused to find a new delight in the 
Roses at “Gardens on Parade.’’ There is 
nothing strange in this, for that is the pur¬ 
pose of a garden—to provide a place where 
men and women may turn from the man¬ 
made marvels of civilization and find nature’s 
rest for tired bodies and confused minds. 
Those who have seen “A Parade of 
Modern Roses” know, moreover, that a 
garden of today may be as modern as the 
Trylon and Perisphere within whose shadow 
our exhibit lay. These new Roses have 
exalted the virtues of their elder sisters, com¬ 
bining their graces into new perfections of 
color, beauty, and fragrance. Nor is their 
appeal limited any longer to a few weeks 
each year. Their massed clusters of prolific 
blooms endure until summer itself has passed. 
All of these advantages are yours, too, in 
the choice selections of Roses offered to you 
within these pages. Whether your garden 
be large or small, simple or formal, it will 
bring you greater enjoyment and pleasure 
through the addition of modern Roses. 
The Roses shown on the covers of this 
booklet are massed plantings of three varie¬ 
ties of Floribundas in “Gardens on Parade” 
at the New York World’s Fair. On the 
front cover—left, Betty Prior; right, Pink 
Gruss an Aachen; back cover—Donald Prior.
