DIRECTIONS FOR PUTTING IN WINDOW DISPLAY 
1. Protect floor of window by lining with roofing paper, oilcloth, or other water-proof material. 
2. Cover with clean sand beginning with one inch of depth at the glass and rising to six inches or more at the back. Boxes, 
wooden blocks, or other handy material may be used as filler under the sand at the deep side, if desired. 
3. Leave the surface of the sand in irregular, curving slopes; and if desired,- make some groupings of rock at the back edge. 
4. Plant the plants directly in the sand, grouping them hs shown in cut, and water lightly with fine sprinkler sufficient to 
moisten sand to depths of roots. 
5. Water as often as necessary to keep plants in good condition, allowing sand to dry out fairly well between waterings. 
Sunny windows will require more water than those in shade, and plants will remain in good condition and hold their 
good coloring much longer if exposed to direct sunlight. 
A sign in the window: “Every Plant In This Display For Sale” will bring many customers. When a plant is selected by 
a customer, merely lift it from the sand and smooth the sand out. If the plant is one of the large, display plants, a slight 
regrouping may be necessary. But the display will still be attractive when even half of the smaller, popular-priced plants 
have been sold from it. 
We suggest that you place a small order for popular-priced plants for refilling, at the time the display is set up, and 
further regular orders weekly as indicated by your sales. Order from “Assortments” on Page 3. Do not overstock by order¬ 
ing too large an order for refilling. But order often and have your plants in the pink of condition. The ingenious florist 
will be able to rearrange and change the entire scene occasionally when working in a new order of plants, using such innova¬ 
tions arid variations as the materials at hand and his own inventiveness, may prompt. 
These plants are effective for window display as rock-garden planting where peat or leafmold may be combined with or 
used as a covering for the sand. A group of Indian figures with tepee and campfire; or a group of Mexican figures in front 
of an adobe house; or an arrangement as a panorama with a painted back drop, would be effective.

ADVICE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS: 
For permanent planting use a mixttire of equal parts of sand, good garden soil, and leafmold. Keep in a sunny location; 
water well once or twice a week in bright sunny weather—keep drier and rather cool during cold, dark weather.
