When | visited Holland recently, | was welcomed as 
Charles H. Perkins, President of Jackson & Perkins, 
America’s Largest Rose growers. You can imagine the 
community of interests between Holland’s largest and 
most famous tulip growers and myself. Naturally 
these fine gentlemen told me about the wonderful © 
new varieties they had coming, and gave me first C. H. PERKINS 
crack at many of them for the American market. 
Of course, it didn’t hurt my chances any to have the backing of my thou- 
sands of rose growing friends in America, whom | knew would jump at the 
opportunity to get these new varieties as soon as they were available. 
And here, now, | am offering not only the fabulous Holland’s Glory but 
several other new ones that will be the talk of gardeners all over the 
country when they bloom next spring! And not only the new varieties but
