GARDENIA PLANTS A SPECIALTY 
Now you can buy them potted ! 
Beautiful Belmont Gardenias 
m Bud and Flower 
(jj ARDENJ A growers, both amateur and pro¬ 
fessional have been generally disappointed with 
results when they have attempted to grow gar¬ 
denia plants indoors. It has seemed impossible 
at times to make gardenias flower and thrive in 
pots, and for this reason the potted plants have 
not been grown and sold extensively. 
At Belmont Gardens, we experimented long and 
patiently to perfect the now famous Belmont 
Gardenia, a patented plant which introduced an 
entirely new type and size of flower. 
Continued experimenting has enabled us at last 
to produce salable potted gardenia plants in such 
quantities that we shall be able to supply the trade 
not only during the holidays, but throughout the 
season. 
The Belmont Gardenia is truly unique. Its 
flowers are three and four times the size of ordi¬ 
nary varieties, and it is more vigorous and a 
heavier producer of perfect blooms. By growing 
the potted plants in the perfected stage, in bud or 
flower, we are able to offer something which we 
feel sure is far superior to the ordinary run of 
plants in the market and obviously more satisfac¬ 
tory for the particular flower buyer. These plants 
will make a splendid holiday gift item.
