BEDDING PLANTS 



Bedding Plants have been sold 

 at wholesale for many years at 

 prices which are, at present-day 

 costs, below the cost of produc- 



tion. We have eliminated many 



varieties from our catalogue and 

 offer a selection of the very best, preferring to devote our time, labor and energy to the production of those most popular with our 

 customers and to grow those items in larger Quantities. We supply a good grade of plants and offer this list at prices which are, in 

 some cases, slightly in advance of those of former seasons, satisfied that, if the trade does not see the reasonableness of the advance, 

 there are other lines that can be grown with more certainty of profit.
