Perkins Personally Selected Annuals. 
ANNUAL PLANTS FLAT GROWN 
Unless specified otherwise all our An¬ 
nual Plants are grown in flats and have 
been once transplanted. They have a 
good root system and if properly han¬ 
dled will give satisfaction and there 
should be no loss. As these are sold 
at a much lower price, due to less labor 
in producing and caring for them, peo¬ 
ple should not expect to get quite as 
quick results as is possible with the 
higher priced potted plants. 
When selecting flat grown plants 
avoid the tall lanky plants, and choose 
the stocky ones, as they will give much 
better results with less care.

ferent sized flats; a large flat holding
