GREENHOUSE FLOWERING PLANTS— Continued 



POINSETTIAS 



The Poinsettia does not properly 

 come under flowering plants. The 

 gorgeous coloring during December 

 is due to the maturity of the bracts 

 and gives the appearance of a 

 flower in reality. These plants, so 

 ornamental for the holidays, are 

 propagated during July and Au- 

 gust, and the growing of this young 

 stock is one of our specialties. We 

 ship all our Poinsettias in paper 

 pots. We are certain they will
