CHELTENHAM ANNUALS 
THE LIST — Because we have found them 
to be the most satisfactory plants for con¬ 
tinuous bloom under average conditions, 
our annual specialties are Petunias and 
Verbenas; they are available in a variety 
of pleasing shades which can be worked 
into the most subtle color scheme. 
There are many attractive annuals not 
listed here because there is not sufficient 
demand for them, but if you want Arctotis, 
Scabiosa, or some other favored annual we 
can grow it for you at no extra charge (un¬ 
less you order less than $1.00 worth of one 
variety), provided the order is placed in 
February, or early March. 
SIZE AND PRICE — Annuals are offered in 
various sizes, but we do not grow ali 
varieties in all sizes. In general, plants 
offered at $.85 per dozen are in three inch 
veneer bands, those at $1.00 per dozen 
come from 3 inch pots, and the $1.25 per 
dozen plants from 3% inch pots. For 
early planting annuals from bands are 
usually as good in every way as those 
from pots, but for late transplanting 
potted plants are much superior. 
The seedlings offered are sown in rows 
in the cold frame, and are not trans¬ 
planted before the time of sale when they 
are 2 to 6 inches tall, according to the 
variety. 
PLANTING TIME — Hardy species, such as 
snapdragons, can usually be planted with 
safety in the latter part of April, but it is 
safer to wait until May for most annuals. 
Heliotrope and other very tender plants 
should not be put out until after the middle 
of May. However, it is advisable to place 
orders as soon as possible, in order to re¬ 
ceive the best selection of plants. 
TERMS — The same as those in the general 
catalogue, except that we do not ship 
annuals by mail; nor by express beyond 
25 miles. On all orders for annuals , ac¬ 
companied by cash , which are received 
by March the first , we will allow a special 
15% discount.
