Market plants should be sold before they are 

 fully finished, if possible. Select plants that 

 are perfect. Store all stock plants as fast 

 as the blooms are cut. Collect and stack 

 soil and manure for next year's supply. 

 Lift and store all stock that has been grown 

 outdoors. 



December Remove all stock from the 

 beds and benches as soon as possible, to 

 allow the space to be used for other pur- 

 poses. See that frost does not penetrate 

 the storage room, and admit all the light 

 possible to keep the foliage of stored stock 

 in good condition. Begin propagating for 

 specimen bush plants and standards and 

 for early sales.
