Thousands of acres of Jackson & Per- 
kins nursery plantings surround Newark 
with millions of plants of Modern Roses 
and Perennials. The tremendous demand 
requires the operation of nurseries from 
the Atlantic to the Pacific, using the most 
modern scientific methods and equipment. 
The J. & P. Dept. of Plant Research main- 
tains the world’s largest Rose hybridiz- 
ing operations. 
LOWER-GROWING is a great calming 
force for any people at any time—particu- 
larly in the stress and strain of a nation at war. 
In company with 20,000,000 patriotic American 
gardeners, doubtless you too have sensed this. 
A V-mail letter from a sailor in the Pacific 
asks me to send him a catalog and another to 
his wife at home, that they may write each 
other about the Modern Roses they want and 
she can plant this spring, to be in bloom when 
he gets back. A girl in Kentucky writes that 
her brother asked her to take special care of his 
Roses till he gets back from overseas. In their 
letters home, boys and girls ask about favorite 
Roses, Lilacs and other flowers as about 
cherished friends. Often the simplest things of 
life seem the most essential. 
Flowers as well as vegetables should grace 
the family table, says Mr. H. W. Hochbaum of 
the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.

Modern Perennials 
This same Dept. of Plant Research has 
made such notable advance in creating 
and introducing newer and better Peren- 
nials that Newark’s fame may soon be 
not just “‘Rose Capital’’ but also “‘Peren- 
nial Capital’’ of America! The demand 
for J. & P. Modern Perennials is doubling 
and redoubling with each planting season.
