TEN FLOWERING AND FRUITING POT PLANTS 

 FOR MIDWINTER 



We have no great variety of flowering pot plants to choose from 

 around the Midwinter holidays, but I very much doubt whether, if 

 we did have, anything could usurp the present popularity of a good 

 red Cyclamen or a pan of well grown Poinsettias for Christmas. On 

 the other hand, there is no doubt but that if a grower can produce 

 any or all of these ten plants in good shape, he won't have to go much 

 out of his way in order to dispose of them at good prices. The list 

 is arranged according to the popularity of the plants. 



CYCLAMEN ERICA CINERARIA 



AZALEA POINSETTIA PRIMULA (in variety) 



BEGONIAS (in variety) ARDISIA OTAHEITE ORANGES 



SOLANUM (in variety) 



DESIRABLE DECORATIVE PLANTS TO BE 

 CARRIED UNDER GLASS 



For the florist retailing his crops and depending on a local trade, 

 decorative plants such as palms, ferns, etc., are fully as valuable as 

 flowering stock. Among such plants the following are some of the 

 principal ones which will prove good investments. Most of them, 

 with just ordinary care, will thrive and increase in value rather than 

 become useless as is the case with leftover flowering plants. The 

 most important ones head the list. 



KENTIA FORSTERIANA and K. BEL- ARAUCARIA 



MOREANA DRAC/ENAS in variety 

 PHCENIX CANARIENSIS and P. ROEBELENII P AND ANUS VEITCHII 



NEPHROLEPIS in variety CROTONS in variety 



ARECA LUTESCENS EUONYMUS 



LATANIA BORBONICA AUCUBA 



Cocos WEDDELLIANA Ficus ELASTICA 



ASPIDISTRA LURIDA GYCAS REVOLUTA 



TEN DESIRABLE HARDY CLIMBERS 



From the florist's point of view, such climbers as will in the 

 shortest possible time make a showing are the most desirable. Even 

 those who don't do landscape work are frequently called upon to 

 furnish hardy climbers in preference to annual sorts such as Cobxa 

 scandens and others. 



ROSES (Ramblers and other climbing DUTCHMAN'S PIPE 



sorts) WISTARIA 



AMPELOPSIS in variety 



BITTER SWEET (Celastrus) KUDZU VINE (Pueraria)
