Garden and Greenhouse 
PLANTS AND BULBS 
Due to the abnormal conditions existing at the present time, which make it necessary to meet the 
conservation of fuel, and also because of the great shortage of labor, many varieties of Garden and Green= 
house plants usually offered in our annual Garden Book have been temporarily discontinued, but we hope 
to be able to again offer them as soon as conditions permit.

the finest named varieties obtained from the most noted specialists, 
the cream of their collections, and the resulting strain embodies, ~

light rose to almost pure white, many of them beautiful combi-
