DECORATIVE PLANTS IN TUBS 
We have a splendid collection of well-grown and well-estab- 
lished broad-leaved evergreens in tubs. They are highly orna- 
mental and very useful for porch, garden and indoor use. As we 
carry only the hardiest and best-suited varieties, they are easily 
taken care of, and, apart from regular and thorough watering, 
they do not require any special attention. Under ordinary cir- 
cumstances they are perfectly safe to keep outdoors until late in 
November, and oftentimes to Christmas. When severe weather 
sets in, they should be wintered in a rather cool hall or storage- 
room.
