Pot Plants of Cannas one of our Specialties 



We are again this season preparing a large stock of Cannas established in 3-inch pots for delivery 

 April 1st and throughout the spring months. We have specialized in these for a number of years and the 

 annually increasing demand convinces us that these plants are appreciated by the trade. 



The florist who prepares for the demand for Easter plants will find this well-established stock, of which 

 we can make delivery either before or immediately after Easter, a profltable investment. The plants will be 

 in proper condition to shift at once into 4- or 5-inch pots, thus making ideal plants for sale at bedding-out 

 time. 



The prices for well-established 3-inch pots are as follows: All varieties priced at $10.00 or less per 100 

 for dormant roots will be supplied in pot-plants at $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; .$90.00 per 1000. On all 

 varieties listed above $10.00 per 100, the prices of dormant roots and pot-plants will be identical. 



Pot-|>Iants ready April 1st; if you can anticipate your requirements, place your order now and we will 

 reserve for delivery at any time in spring.
