Note regarding Quality of our Bedding Plants. —This 
stock is grown with a view to making shipment via local express 
or American Railway Express and with this in mind we grow 
our plants in larger size pots, which develops a heavier plant 
than is required by the mail-order trade; send us a trial order 
and note the difference in quality.
