“Only One Grade... The Finest’ 
That’s the J. & P. motto and your protec- 
tion! Experienced gardeners want true 
values and fair prices. The dependable per- 
formance 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.”? ... 
“nest Horticultural Productions 
J. & P. Roses 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.

You will find the 1949 Rose Festival at 
Newark, New York, one of the most 
beautiful, the most dramatic, the most 
colorful . . . the most interesting and 
unusual horticultural events ever pre- 
sented to the public. The spectacular 
17-acre Jackson & Perkins Rose Garden 
with its breathtaking display of 30,000 
Rose bushes, thousands of perennials 
and other landscape features, has al- 
ready become one of the most famous 
gardens of all time. 
Of course, by public acclaim we will 
again hold the famous Moonlight and 
Roses Ball, selecting and crowning of 
the Rose Queen, the Annual Kiddies’ 
Parade, radio broadcasts, and lectures 
by eminent authorities. Last year the 
garden visitors were thrilled by the 
diversified program that was offered. 
The top events included American Rose
