Geraniums 



When you plant your stock in the field from 

 which you are going to take cuttings for next 

 season, it will pay you better to set out young 

 stock that has been propagated for field plant- 

 ing, rather than whatever happens to be left 

 on hand after the Decoration day business is 

 over. We have a fine lot of stock brought on 

 for that purpose.
