Frames Where Nearly 40,000 Pot Grown Hardy Plants are Ready for Sale, Spring, 1934 
Many varieties of Herbaceous plants such as Paeonias, Iris, Spireas, etc. are 
necessarily handled in field grown plants but in most all of the finer rooted varie¬ 
ties, we much prefer a well established pot grown plant, in preference to field grown 
divisions so often used by many firms. We have grown for this season’s sales 
many thousands of pot grown plants, which are in splendid condition for Spring 
sale. Our list is made up of only commendable varieties and our stock is fine.
