ONLy ONE GRADE -- he Juuest 
Every Plant You Buy from Us 
Is Guaranteed to Live and Bloom 
“Only one grade—the finest’ . . . That's the J. & P. motto and 
your protection! Experienced gardeners want true values and fair 
prices. The dependable performance of J. & P. Modern Roses and 
Perennials demonstrates the futility of buying inferior grades even 
at ‘‘bargain”’ prices. J. & P. Rose plants are more than ‘‘No. 1 grade” 
and ‘'2-yr.-old’’ . . . They are the finest productions of our expert 
horticultural skill. They are superior in hardiness, habit, resistance 
to disease, form, fragrance and abundance of blooms; full stemmed, 
with robust root systems; tested and proved by two years’ growth in 
the nursery fields; true to name and class; sturdy and free from 
disease. 
The J. & P. Department of Plant Research, under the direction of 
E. S. Boerner, is unflagging in its zeal for the constant improvement 
of Modern Roses and Perennials, and for the creation of improved 
new varieties. Thousands of acres are occupied by our modern 
nurseries throughout several states, and 76 years of serving gardeners 
are behind every plant you buy from J. & P.

New York, one of the most beautiful, the most dra-

new events and new features. 
Of course, by public acclaim we will again hold the 
famous Moonlight and Roses Ball, crowning of the 
Rose Queen, the annual Kiddies’ Parade, radio 
broadeasts, and lectures by eminent authorities. 
We are even now working on a host of other ideas to 
broaden the Festival and give you a bigger and better 
show than ever before. 
Regardless of where you live, Newark, New York, 
is easy to reach by train, by bus, or by car. Of course, 
you love flowers! You will find this a unique opportu- 
nity to participate in America’s greatest assembly 
of flower lovers, and at the same time you’ll enjoy the

J.& P. FESTIVAL OF ROSES 

THE ROSE ARRANGEMENT CLINIC 
One of the main features of our annual Festival of 
Roses is the J. & P. Rose Arrangement Clinic, where 
experts demonstrate the art of Rose arranging. 
The above arrangement of New Yorker is a good 
example of the beautiful displays you will see. 
This particular one was made by Mrs. Vincent Porter 
Whitsitt, an arranger, teacher, and judge who is 
known far and wide for her unusually dramatic 
and graceful arrangements. 
You are cordially invited to attend the J. & P. 
Rose Arrangement Clinic in Newark, New York, 
during the 1948 Festival of Roses this June.
