For Thousands of Blooms 
Even in Limited Space 
VERYWHERE, there is a tremendously increased demand for J. & P. Modern 
Climbing Roses, and our growing facilities are being used to the utmost. We 
particularly recommend that you include King Midas this year—you 1] want more 
Blaze and Summer Snow, too. Also be sure to have Torch, the rew sensation for 1943. 
Any garden is more colorful, more attractive, more complete with the addition 
of Modern Climbing Roses—especially the newer varieties, most of which produce 
large, double blooms like Hybrid Tea Roses. The great clusters of gorgeous flowers, 
framed by luxuriant foliage, are a most desirable ornament—on porches, trellises, 
garages, fences, pillars, etc. 
Here is the solution, too, for those who wish to enjoy the thrilling beauty and 
fragrance of Roses where space is limited. Beautiful blooms can be produced for 
both elaborate outdoor display and hundreds of bouquets in even a small city lot! 
_ Modern Climbing Roses are easily protected through winter, even where temperature drops below zero. 
Climbers bloom on old wood, and given only ordinary care they will repay you immeasurably for your effort.
