foliage, and growing rapidly. They are very sensitive to frost, and should not, be 
placed out in the open ground until all danger of cold weather is past. We can 
supply these plants by the thousand, and parties desiring to plant largely for 
Summer resorts nr hotel grounds would do well to write for special prices. .1.
