eunion 
in the Garden 
To the boys away, ‘‘America the Beautiful’’ is more than 
the name of a song. In it are their fondest memories—their 
hopes of all good things to come. 
It is our earnest hope that reunion may come soon. Let’s 
plant this hope in. the garden. We must make our country 
as tadiant as they dream—and keep America beautiful as 
well as bountiful. Roses may not feed a family, but they 
can be one of the strongest ties which bind it together. The 
“Queen of Flowers’’ sees to it that not a single summer is 
ever quite forgotten. 
From the Pacific after visiting the camps and hospitals there, 
Raymond Clapper said in one of his last dispatches discussing the 
wonderful care our boys are receiving, ‘But it is gardening that most 
of all seems to heal the soul.’’ 
These splendid benefits are just as valuable to every one of us here 
at home—in the garden we find refuge from the stress and strain of 
wartime living. No antidote for tired nerves rates higher than to know 
and grow Roses.

WA/ BEEBING in the ground is Nature’s way. 
Leading Rosarians, horticultural colleges, 
plant research experts, etc., now say fall is an 
even better time than spring to plant. Our Dept. 
of Plant Research thoroughly approves the 
custom; so do our customers. 
Besides the advantages to the plants, there are 
many conveniences for you. The soil is mellow, 
easy to work. Prepare it whenever you want, 
then let lay till the plants arrive. Save all that 
time for other garden duties next spring.

fall planting in your climate. We dig the plants 
when they have completed their seasonal growth

NEWAR K,

acres of nursery plantings also include Perennials, Lilacs, 
and Fruits, to properly serve the nationwide demand for 
Modern Roses and nursery stock.

all climatic conditions in this country, increasing in beauty 
and profusion year after year. Every Rose plant you receive 
from us bears the J. & P. waterproof label, symbol of our 
guarantee. While the J. & P. Guarantee at left relates specifi- 
cally to Modern Roses, you are assured that Modern Peren- 
nials, Fruits, Shrubs and Lilacs are equally covered.

and become dormant, usually in Oct. (If the 
season is late, we protect your plants by digging 
later; it is safe to plant right up till the ground 
is frozen. ) 
After you plant, a fine growth of new rootlets 
begins at once. These rootlets establish the 
plant, ready to feed the new wood from the soil 
nutrients next spring, supplementing the stored- 
up energy and reserve in the plant itself. You 
get more, earlier and finer blooms next sum- 
mer by planting this fall. Soon as your order 
is received, we mail you complete instructions— 
how to prepare ground, how to plant, what to 
do all year round.
