OUR GENERAL PLANT LIST 
ALL PLANT PRICES GIVEN INCLUDE POSTAGE PAID 
For several years we have been selling Rose, Geranium and Chrysanthemum collections such as described on pages 90, 
91 and 92. We found that many, however, among our nearly 200,000 customers wish plants not in such collections. On 
this and the following pages will be found a list of the best kinds of flowering and decorative plants for the South. If 
you are interested in other flowers not listed here just write us for our Special Plant List. Orders from this list, also 
for collections, can be filled up to May 1st. If orders are received during extremely cold weather we hold them back
