Does your nurseryman take the best care of 
your plants before shipping? 

The Exotic Nurseries do. 



This balled plant having" been submitted for three 
months to our curing system, shows how the roots devel- 
oped through the sacking. 

Before shipping, “Exotic Nurseries” bailed plants are 
submitted for a few days to this beneficial process. 
This few days of curing, although not yet bringing the 
roots through the sacking, is most favorable to the suc- 
cessful growth of the plants.

Packing is done quite carefully at the “Exotic Nurseries.” It is a point second to none, that Ihe 
plants should reach you as they leave us. Many nurseries overlcok this fact; but the 
“Exotic Nurseries” give it its full importance.
