MONTHLY MESSAGE TO FLOWER LOVERS FOR MARCH, 1939 
The most notable additions to flower variety during March are the graceful 
flower spikes known as Stock, They are long lasting flowers and are available 
in lengths of from 12 to 24 inches. There are two principal varieties of 
Stock; one is the sturdy spikes of the double variety, perhaps best c 
to Snapdragons; and the other the single variety which is similar 
nium in grace and style of flower. Both varieties are available 
range of colors such as white, peach, tan and lavender. They wi 
fresh each day from our own greenhouses. 
March is also notable for the improvement of Tulip quality, the 
the price of Freesia due to the blooming of varieties which produce more 
blooms per plant than the earlier varieties, and for the improvement of out¬ 
door Jonquils, Narcissus, and Iris. While Tulips have been available during 
February in a few varieties, most colors cannot be bloomed until March as 
they must be kept semi-dormant until mid-February to permit strong root growth 
before they can be expected to develop large flowers on strong stems. The 
outdoor Jonquils, Narcissus, and Iris bloom in frames in nearby Virginia 
during March and are superior in freshness and fragrance and are lower in price 
than the varieties previously available which bloomed farther South. 
In flowering plants, the Tulips and Hyacinths will be at their best, and we 
can furnish them in any stage of growth in a complete range of colors. In 
foliage plants, you will find both the Ivy and Philodendron plants after a 
full season’s growth to be long and full. The Chinese Evergreens which do 
equally well in soil or water will be available in short, medium, and long 
grades, and are unexcelled for indoor or porch use,
