For early flowers some of the plants may 

 be left unpinched. When two years old 

 the finest trusses are produced. The third 

 year the plants flower tolerably well, but 

 they will not keep thrifty and healthy after 

 that. The old plants should then be lifted 

 in the fall, divided and transplanted. But 

 the better plan is to keep up a succession 

 of young plants from cuttings by securing 

 a fresh collection every year. We annually 

 introduce all new and desirable varieties 

 of home and foreign production. The best 

 time to plant them is in the autumn. Our 

 plants are large and fine. Price 2^ cents 

 each ; $2. 00 per dozen .
