TRANSPLANTED PLANTS 
Our early tomato, cabbage and pepper 
plants are transplanted. Seed is sown in 
beds. While very small, they are trans¬ 
planted an equal distance apart in a 
plant flat which gives each one an even 
chance to grow into a strong, well rooted 
plant. Plants grown this way have strong 
stems and heavy roots which makes them 
easy to set in the open garden. 
We are growing some tomatoes and 
peppers in small containers holding two 
dozen plants which allows purchaser to 
take plants home without disturbing the 
roots in the soil. 
HARDY PLANTS IN POTS 
Hardy Perennials, Roses and Bleeding 
Hearts growing in large pots. No loss in 
setting out. Many of them blooming. 
They are fine gifts for Mother’s Day as 
they will be a permanent reminder of the 
love of the donor. 
FLOWERS FOR MEMORIAL 
DAY 
We will have a large supply of flowers 
to cut the last week in May. We can fur¬ 
nish large fine bouquets of many hardy 
flowers for Memorial Day.
