border and as far south as Georgia with 
excellent results. 
8. JOAN MARIE is easily propagated, 
and those who have seen our cuttings will 
attest to the fact that it propagates freely 
and makes strong, healthy cuttings; far 
better ones than any existing variety. 
9. Freedom from diseases is another im¬ 
portant point, and here JOAN MARIE far 
exceeded any expectations. During its en¬ 
tire existence it has never been subject to 
any extent to stem rot or carnation blight. 
Plants do equally well indoors and in the 
field. 
10. JOAN MARIE is easily grown. It 
grows best without feeding and this econ¬ 
omy is a decided advantage.
