TO OUR NEWARK GARDENS 
T HE beginning of the Rose season always brings a pilgrimage of 
Rose-lovers to Newark, New York, to see the test and display 
gardens of Jackson & Perkins Company in full bloom. In two weeks, 
last summer, we had more than 60,000 visitors! 
In our test-gardens you may see 20,000 Rose plants of over 3,000 
varieties in bloom; also thousands of unnamed sorts on which our 
hybridizers are at work to produce Roses of the future—varieties 
that won’t go into our commercial growing fields until they have 
been proved worthy in our rigorous climates here and in more than 
80 other testing stations throughout the United States. 
Beyond these test-gardens spread thousands of acres with more 
than two million plants heavy with glorious Roses—the strong, 
healthy plants that are shipped to your own garden. 
Visit us this year. Newark lies midway between Rochester and 
Syracuse on Route 31. You’ll be rewarded by the loveliest sight 
any Rose-lover ever witnessed. And at the same time you’ll realize 
why J. & P. Preferred Roses are the best you can possibly buy any¬ 
where, and why we are able to guarantee them as we do.
