and I want to give you one of these test plants, with my compliments. That way you 
can see for yourself why our Research Department turned in such an enthusiastic report 
on Plant No. 49-1249...and you can experience the thrill of having a prized new plant 
a full season before it becomes available to the gardening public. And at the same 
time, you will see the beautiful blooms that you can expect from all of our Giant 
Bird Mums. 
SUPPLY VERY LIMITED--SEND FOR YOUR FREE PLANT NOW! 
All you have to do is ask for the plant we have reserved for you...on the en-— 
closed order form. Naturally, the quantity is very limited as we are just going into 
full-scale production on this Mum--so I sincerely urge you to request yours now. 
As I said before, No. 49-1249 is the very newest member of our own exclusive 
Giant Bird Mums...and if you've grown these mums in your garden, I don't have to tell 
you anything about them. You already know how colorful they are, how hardy, how 
long-lasting! 
However, if you have never planted J&P Giant Bird Mums before, you have a real 
treat in store for you. Just take a look at the attached circular...which lists and 
illustrates the 18 beautiful varieties. Just picture them blooming in your garden 
this August, September, October, even in November...just imagine being able to pick 
armfuls of huge colorful blooms when most gardens are barren of any flowers...just 
think of having all these gorgeous, brilliant colors glowing in your garden long after 
other flowers have finished! 
Furthermore, ALL these J&P Giant Mums are POT GROWN! What does that mean. 
Simply this-—-each plant is grown in an individual pot filled with specially formulated 
potting soil. When we ship your plants, we leave them right in the potting soil... 
6 plants to a carton separated and secured so that it arrives in perfect condition 
...SO they suffer no shock in transit. In fact, they actually keep on growing even 
while they're in the post-office. You plant them-—-soil and all-—-in your garden. 
That's why we can GUARANTEE them to live and bloom! 
To order any of the Giant Bird Mums——and to receive your absolutely FREE experi-— 
mental Mum No. 49-1249--mail the enclosed order form today. 
Incidentally, you'll notice that the enclosed order form bears a number. That's 
your priority on this Free Mum No. 49-1249. The quantity is very limited and you 
have first choice. However, if you do not wish to receive your free plant, please 
be sure to let me know so we can transfer your priority to someone else. 
Yours for a more beautiful parden... 
Sincerely 
C. H. Perkins
