2 WORLD OF 
TOMORROW... 1d 14. 
T WAS but natural that the world’s largest Rose growers be selected 
to plant and care for the Rose Gardens in Gardens on Parade at the 
New York World’s Fair in both 1939 and 1940. 
Designed by Eugene S. Boerner, head of the J. & P. Department of 
Plant Research, in collaboration with the famous landscape architect, 
Hugh Findlay, these gardens won the acclaim of hundreds of thousands 
of garden-lovers, horticulturists, rosarians, editors, radio commentators 
—in fact, of all who visited them. 





















These pictures bring fond memories to you who visited the Fair. 
They help to visualize its grandeur to you who did not come, but now 
also have the happy opportunity to re-create the beauty of its Roses in 
your own garden this summer. 
The lovely new Floribunda Rose on page 24, ‘“World’s 
Fair,’’ was named for and officially dedicated to be the 
Theme Rose of the Fair. 
Now the Fair is over, but 
you may see Rose Gardens even 
more elaborate and extensive 
by joining the pilgrimage of 
Rose lovers to Newark, New 
York. Read your invitation
