ERE at Newark, in the rigorous clinf{t@ of northern New York State, 
over 2,500 acres are devoted to the Jackson & Perkins plantings, and the 
world’s largest Rose-hybridizing operations are maintained. Under the 
direction of Eugene S. Boerner, thousands of new seedlings are produced every 
year. Our standards are so exacting that only about one out of every fifteen 
hundred or two thousand eventually finds a place among our worthy new Roses. 
Visitors to our fields last summer saw the great carpet of color as the plants 
we shall send you this spring bloomed gloriously, gaining rugged vigor and storing 
up abundant energy to be even more beautiful in your garden. 
In the J. & P. Test and Display 
Gardens there are over 20,000 Rose 
plants in over 3,000 varieties, with 
more than 500,000 blooms open at a 
time—all the Modern Roses already 
introduced and hundreds of new Roses 
for the future. It takes five years to 
prove and propagate a new Rose for 
the gardeners of America. 
Jackson & Perkins Co. is also closely 
associated with the leading Rose 
hybridizers of other lands, with sole 
American rights for the new introduc- 
tions of McGredy, Dickson, Gaujard, 
Aicardi, Pahissa and others. Just

expedition to the important Rose 
nurseries of England, Ireland, Scot- 
land, France, Germany, Holland, Bel- 
gium, Italy and Spain, Eugene S. 
Boerner brought back enough scions 
of their finest new seedlings to make 
possible new introductions for several 
years to come; the results of some 
later hybridizing have since been re- 
ceived by overseas air express. 
Additional plantings of about 1,000 
acres in our New Jersey nurseries and 
nearly 1,000 acres in the J. & P. Cali- 
fornia nurseries are required to prop- 
erly serve the increasing demand for 
Modern Roses and nursery stock.

Yearly, in June, the annual Festival 
of Roses is proclaimed by the Mayor of 
Newark as a civic event, when the Jack- 
son & Perkins Test and Display Gardens 
are at their height of first bloom. Special 
Days will again be observed. 
If you request, you will be notified of 
the dates this June, and sent a road map 
showing the way—on Route 31, between 
Rochester and Syracuse; also NY Central 
RR., and Greyhound Bus. 
You are cordially invited to come and 
see the Roses then, or any time from 
June to October.
