‘ 
ETWEEN June 15 and July 5 over 100,000 admirers of Roses joined in the 10th annual 
pilgrimage to the Rose Capital of America for the Festival of Roses—where they 
_ visited Newark’s Jackson & Perkins’ Test and Display Gardens to see and select 
their favorites in the Parade of Modern Roses. 
; Many had also seen J. & P. Modern Roses when they were the outstanding attraction 
in “‘Gardens on Parade’’ at the great New York World’s Fair. 
But now you are interested in the Roses and other flowers you will plant this spring. 
We know you will revel in the glorious, greatly improved Modern Roses in this book— 
Hybrid Teas, Floribundas, Modern Climbers, Tree Roses, etc.—and wish for you the plea- 
sures so eloquently put into few words by the well-known garden writer and landscape 
architect, Henry L. Prée: ‘‘Rose growing is an amazing adventure, full of surprises, most 
of them pleasant, all of them instructive.”’ 
Year after year, the Parade of Modern Roses marches on. The fame of the moc be best 
and Display Gardens and the hundreds of acres of growing fields surrounding the city 
have made Newark the mecca of Rosedom.

of the blooms and the satisfaction of 
seeing them grow large and exquisite and 
abundantly from the labor of your hands, 
there is some magic element like a “‘spiritual 
vitamin’’ in the close association with nature 
and the soil that gives new courage to face 
the problems of life, new vigor to meet the 
pressing tasks in a troubled world. What 
more heartening, more restful hours could 
you spend than those in the Rose Garden? 
There is a tremendously increased interest 
in Roses and gardening, and as a part of your 
patriotic service to “‘keep the home fires 
burning’’—we hope you will ‘“‘keep your 
garden blooming.”’ 
le ADDITION to the beauty and fragrance 
Recently I received a letter from Dr. Adrian 
Taylor, head of the famous Clifton Springs 
Sanitarium, telling about their Rose Gardens. 
Dr. Taylor says that in times like these he 
can think of nothing better than to have all 
people planting Roses and caring for them. 
They encourage their patients to participate 
in caring for the Rose Gardens and consider 
the duties of gardening to be therapeutic 
agents of great value. 
It is a pleasure to send you the Parade of 
Modern Roses and Perennials for 1942. May 
you have a fine garden!
