MOTHER'S FAVORITE 
An A. B. C. Introduction 
New Schizanthus (Butterfly Flower) 
"Mother's Favorite" is "tops" as a 
pot plant for Mother's Day and 
spring sales. Also of exceptional 
value for cut flowers, this "Dan¬ 
bury Park" strain is in a class by 
itself. A high temperature is not 
required for Schizanthus, even in 
the winter months. For early bloom¬ 
ing, sow October-November. 
Note below what Holm & Olson, 
the well-known retail florists and 
growers of St. Paul and Rochester, 
Minn., think of this grand new 
Schizanthus "Mother's Favorite".

In regard to the Schizanthus, we have 
grown "Mother's Favorite" (Danbury Park 
Strain) very successfully as a pot plant. 
Seeded about the middle of January, plant¬ 
ed in 2 1 /4-inch pots, and when ready pot 
three in a 7-inch pan, and this makes a 
very fine plant for Mother's Day. These are 
rapidly becoming very favored by the pub¬ 
lic, as they, even under such unfavorable 
conditions as in a hospital, develop to the 
last bud and present a mass of blooms that 
last for weeks. 
If seeded in early December they will be 
ready to bear April 1. I am sure it is a 
very valuable addition to our spring pot 
plants. 
Very truly yours,
