Qreen ‘Plants 
Our GREEN PLANTS are produced from base cuttings taken from 
clumps, selected in the field for propagating purposes. These cuttings 
are rooted in special propagating benches and then transferred to three 
inch pots. Cool temperatures are maintained to insure stocky plants. 
About two weeks before planting time the plants are transferred to cold 
frames for careful hardening. These sturdy plants are shipped in paper 
pots, to any part of the country and annually produce many prize 
blooms. Instructions for their care are enclosed with each shipment. 
With favorable care the GREEN PLANTS are equal in all respects 
to tubers. Many growers use them exclusively for the production of 
exhibition blooms. Quite frequently the clumps produced in the fall 
are as heavy, or heavier, than those from a planting of the same variety 
from tubers. We are sure that a dollar spent for plants will produce 
at least as many tubers as a dollar spent for tubers. We GUARANTEE 
a satisfactory clump from any plant purchased from us. 
New Novelties for 1937 
Each year hundreds of new varieties, representing the cream of 
the efforts of the world’s hybridizers, are placed on the market. For 
1937 we have selected the ones we believe to be the best. Those who 
are able will be well repaid by visiting our gardens next fall to see them 
in bloom. 
For those who like to grow the newest, we are offering plants of 
some at originators prices.
