 months, stored in cold houses or cold frames so that 

 they will break away naturally In spring. They are 

 the best possible stock for selling to the retail cus- 

 tomer. The prices are for strong plants In 6 or 6 

 Inch pots, according to the growth of the variety, for 

 delivery during April, May, and June. While we can 

 make shipments of Potted Plants earlier if requested
