Di Leading rosarians, horticultural colleges and 
plant research experts now say that Fall is an even better time than Spring to plant. Our 
Department of Plant Research thoroughly approves the practice. Our growing number 
of Fall-planting customers confirm the advantages by experience. 
Roses, and the perennials and fruits shown in this edition of our catalog, produce 
earlier and finer blooms next season when planted this Fall. The roots have a longer time 
to become established in your soil before producing wood and leaf structure to support 
abundant bloom and fruit. 
There are advantages to you, the gardener, as well. You have had all season to watch 
and appraise your garden. You know better where you want the new things—where to 
enlarge your beds and borders—or what to replace with something more desirable. The 
rush of Spring and Summer gardening is over. The soil is mellow, easier to prepare. You 
can plant in Fall leisurely, without the pressure of so many other things to do! 
J. & P. Roses, perennials, fruits are shipped at the proper time for Fall planting in 
your climate. We dig the plants when they have completed their seasonal growth, and 
when they have become dormant. (It is safe to plant right up to the time when the 
ground is frozen.) 
The J. & P. instruction sheet sent with your order gives you the simple directions for 
proper planting.

The traditional Kiddies’ Parade, a feature of the Kose 
Festival, was one of the high spots because so many orig- 
inal and unusual costumes were displayed.

Festival of Roses 
Two important ceremonies high-lighted the opening of the 
1945 Festival of Roses'on Friday, June 15. One was the dedi- 
cation of the new J. & P. Rose, Ernie Pyle.* The other was 
the presentation of the David Fuerstenberg Prize to Mrs. 
Nicolas, wife of Dr. J. H. Nicolas, originator of the Mary 
Margaret McBride Rose. Both ceremonies were broadcast 
over NBC on Mary Margaret McBride’s program originating 
in the J. & P. Gardens. 
Two other well-known radio personalities, Connie Stack- 
pole, WNAC Boston and Helen Joyce, WLS Chicago, came to 
Newark, and from the J. & P. Gardens broadcast interesting 
accounts of Festival activities. 
Other events included the traditional Moonlight and Roses 
Dance, crowning of the Rose Queen and the Kiddies’ Parade. 
Rose Arrangement Day featured experts from the Detroit 
Garden Center. Many of these special Rose arrangements 
will be pictured in the Spring 1946 catalog.

ORDERS FILLED CONSECUTIVELY 
For the past several seasons, orders for J. & P. plants 
have far exceeded the available supply of many va- 
rieties. We are striving to grow more each year, 
including fruits to increase Victory gardeners’ contri- 
bution to the food supply. However, wartime short- 
ages of experienced labor limit the yield of plants that 
merit and receive the J. & P. label. 
We have always reserved plants to fill orders consecu- 
tively in the order received. We shall continue that 
policy. Weurge you to make your selections and send 
us your order at the earliest possible moment. 
We appreciate your desire to have your favorite varie- 
ties. However, as a wartime measure, we assume you 
wish us to choose and send you another variety of the 
same color and quality, should we be out of any that 
you order. 
IF NOT, PLEASE SPECIFY IN YOUR ORDER. 
EVERYTHING SENT Prepatd 
Everything in this catalog is sent prepaid. You pay 
only the price shown. All orders are carefully and 
scientifically packed to protect all parts of your plants. 
Special attention is given to provide an enduring 
moist packing of the roots.
