You Can Plant This Fall 
HOUSANDS make this page a hobby as they plan their fall gar- 
dening, and plant next year’s Roses a year ahead. They take 
pride in being first to have the 1944 introductions early next June 
—well-grown, established, already in full bloom.

our 120 testing stations throughout the nation. Have them to enjoy 
from early June on through summer and fall, by ordering now. Se- 
lected plants, full-bodied, 2-year-old, field-grown, to plant this fall.

(Plant Patent applied for) 
It is indeed fitting that the outstanding new Modern 
Rose for 1944 should be named to honor Mrs. Mar- 
shall, wife of General George C. Marshall, Chief of 
Staff, U.S. Army. All-American—created in our own 
Newark nurseries by Eugene S. Boerner, chief hy- 
bridist and director of the J. & P. Department of Plant 
Research. Katherine T. Marshall is a Rose of rare 
beauty and delicacy of form—growing vigorously 
with large, open, upright blooms of friendly warm 
glowing pink against a background of rich, profuse, 
dark green foliage. Highly praised in all sections of 
the country, the plants are very hardy, very vigorous. 
The growth and foliage is equal to the Radiance fam- 
The 
Award winner, Greer Garson, 
has inspired the naming of 
three J]. & P. Roses for her— 
now, this 1944 Rose for her 
1943 Motion Picture 
role in MGM's ‘‘Mme. 
Marie Curie.”

MME. MARIE CURIE 
This lovely new yellow Rose for 1944 has been named for Mme. Marie 
Curie, the co-discoverer of radium, and particularly for the portrayal of 
this world-famed personality by Greer Garson in the new motion picture 
now being filmed by MGM. Admirers of Mme. Curie will also be pleased 
to learn that her Rose was created in France, by the accomplished French 
rosarian, Jean Gaujard, whose originations it is our privilege to introduce. 
Exotic, clear yellow blooms, beautifully formed, of sweet fragrance, re- 
freshing and effervescent, held proudly on vigorous spreading bushes of 
abundant dark green foliage. Unusually generous in its freedom of bloom. 
The color resembles the old favorite yellow Rose, Mrs. du Pont, but the 
stems are much better and longer, ideal for cutting. In the fall the buds 
are a deep golden yellow and deep yellow in full bloom. 
Color... .clear yellow. 
Foliage..abundant dark green—
