WHOLESALE LIST 



Young Stock in 2-inch Pots, for Growing on 



The following list embraces the best of the standard varieties, as well as 

 the best of the more recent introductions. 



The stock offered is of last summer's propagation. The plants from which ~ 



the cuttings were made are planted in the open field, where many of them 

 have stood for ten to twenty years. The young stock is therefore very su-

 only 6 to 9 months older, but much more vigorous.
