These plants are grown in the open field during the fall and 

 winter months, which causes them to make a slow, tough, 

 hardy growth — so hardy that the outer leaves turn to a red- 

 dish brown. They can be shipped to distant points without 

 danger of 'spoiling, and should be planted in the open ground 

 from four to five weeks earlier than frame plants. 



They will stand a temperature of 10 to 15 degrees above 

 zero without injury. Will do very much better planted early, 

 as they will take root and start to grow as soon as warm 

 weather sets in. 



Orders filled from December 1 until April. We do not advise 

 planting later than this time.
