Special Notice

We guarantee our plants to be healthy
and true to name. All orders are filled
from the same stock, and if the plants
are given the proper attention there is
no reason why each customer should not
meet with the same success.

We absolutely cannot hold ourselves
responsible for plants that are sent out
in a healthy condition and go wrong for
the want of proper attention.

All plants will be knocked out of the
pots.

We pack all our plants in damp moss,
so that they will reach you in the best
possible condition.

We do not pay express or postage on
any plants or cut flowers.

We have quit growing and handling
nursery stock, confining ourselves to the
Florist business only.

Jew and beautiful growing plants. You

lection.

Carnations

Carnation plants should be repotted
whenever there is indication of their be-
coming pot-bound. Transplanted into the
garden after all danger of frost is over,
and given at least 12 inches in space,
with good soil and cultivation, these
plants should furnish abundant bloom
from July until late fall or may be kept
“pinched back” to retard bloom, potted
up at approach of frost and brought in-
side for winter blooming. 15c each, $1.25
per dozen.

of shell-pink, by which all other light
pinks are measured.

salmon-pink, which does not bleach in

long stemmed and free-blooming. The
petals are attractively fringed and the
perfume delightful.

good deep pink sorts, of attractive size

continuous blooming, which has made the
ordinary bedding Geranium so highly
valued. Easter Greeting is the first of a
new race and one of the most valuable
introductions in recent years. As an
Easter plant it rivals the Azalea; but un-
like the Azalea, Easter Greeting will re-
main in full bloom all summer. Each,
25 cents; large, 50 cents.

in a very rich soil, water liberally, re-
move the old flower stalks as soon as the
