WHY I HAVE INSTRUCTED OUR SHIPPING DEPARTMENT TO SEND YOU SOME OF OUR "ee 
PRIZE-WINNING ROSES-- FOR ABSOLUTELY FREE EXAMINATION! 
Dear Gardener: 
Yesterday I instructed our Shipping Department to reserve in your name a 
group of our world-famous Prize-Winning Roses. I want you to have them. I'd like 
you to plant them...to see how beautifully the world's finest roses grow in your 
garden--and I'm going to send them entirely at my risk! 
That's right. I want to send you these Prize-Winning Roses--WITHOUT YOUR 
PAYING ANY MONEY NOW OR WHEN YOUR PLANTS ARRIVE. 
If you've ever purchased plants from anyone, you know that this is a revolu- 
tionary offer. No nursery does business this way...and neither do we, normally. 
Why then am I going to send you some of our Prize-Winning Roses...to let you plant 
them and keep them in your garden--without asking for any money in advance. 
WHY WE DARE MAKE SUCH AN AMAZING OFFER 
The reason is very simple. According to our records, you have not yet grown 
J&P Prized Roses. So I'd like to introduce them to you--without your risking a 
single penny! For I know that once you see them actually growing in your garden, 
once you see them blooming in all their glory...you'll be so thrilled that you 
wouldn't want to be without them--and you'll want more besides! 
Of course, I wouldn't dare make this offer if it weren't for the QUALITY of 
our roses...top—notch quality that has enabled us to become the world's largest rose 
growers...first quality that has made J&P Prized Roses the most wanted and most 
planted roses in the whole world...the highest quality that has enabled J&P Roses 
to win more awards in this country and abroad than any other roses! 
Honestly, you have to see the heavy, sturdy stock...the thick pranches...the 
large roots to fully realize what a No. 1 plant really looks like. You have to see 
them burst into life in your own garden to realize how vigorous a real No. 1 plant 
is! You have to see it actually blooming to realize how gorgeous a No. 1 plant is! 
Just compare an authentic J&P No. 1 plant to any other...for size, for ease of 
growth, for sheer beauty! There is no comparison! And all of our Roses are guar- 
anteed to be No. 1 plants...top quality, 2-year-old, field-grown plants--the 
strongest, sturdiest, healthiest Rose plants you can get. 
J&P PRIZED ROSES FOR EVERY GARDENING USE 
Furthermore, there are several different types of J&P Prized Roses...beautiful 
roses for every use in your garden... 
.«- EVERBLOOMING FLORIBUNDA ROSES, the 20th century rose, that produce hun- 
dreds of prize-winning blooms on every bush! This newest type of rose 
produces clusters of 5 to 25 blooms--an entire bouquet on one single stemé
