HIGHTOWER’S  VEGETABLE  PLANTS 

Hightowers  vegetable  plants  are  produced  from  the  best  seed,  grown  carefully  and  packed 
so  as  to  reach  you  in  the  best  shape.  All  orders  are  filled  promptly  if  the  weather  is  good. 
Bad  weather  conditions  necessarily  cause  delay  beyond  our  control,  but  generally  the  delays  are 
very  brief.  IT  PAYS  TO  BUY  GOOD,  HARDY,  STRONG  ROOTED  PLANTS.  OUR  PLANTS 
WILL  GIVE  YOU  A QUICKER  AND  BETTER  CROP — NO  C.  O.  D.  SHIPMENTS  OF 
PLANTS. 


FROSTPROOF  CABBAGE 
PLANTS.  Our  Cabbage  Plants 
are  grown  out  in  the  open 
ground,  are  properly  hardened 
off.  and  will  ordinarily  stand  a 
temperature  as  low  as  20  de- 
grees. Under  faovring  weather 
conditions  they  will  stand  a 
temperature  of  down  to  13  de- 
grees. Frostproof  plants  of 
course  do  not  mean  “freeze- 
proof.”  or  that  they  will  stand 
a blizzard.  When  your  plants 
reach  you  remove  from  the  crate 
at  once.  If  not  to  be  planted 
immediately,  wet  the  roots,  and 
heel  out  in  the  ground,  spread- 
ing the  bunches  as  much  as  pos- 
sible. If  the  plants  should 
reach  you  with  the  outer  leaves 
turned  p'urple  or  yellow  this 
does  not  mean  at  all  that  they 
are  ruined.  Cabbage  plants  are 
very  hard  to  kill  and  are  per- 
fectly good  as  long  as  the  bud  is 
green.

Our  BERMUDA  ONION  PLANTS  are  raised  from

plants  make  much  larger  and  finer  onions  that  do  not
