Buy ZanCs Green Plants 
Our Green Plants are produced from our finest clumps 
selected in the field for propagating. We use base cuttings 
only and root them by electric heat. We grow them cool, 
which assures stocky plants; they are hardened off before 
shipping and the many letters of appreciation we have 
received prove that with the proper care they will produce 
as good clumps and usually far better blooms than roots 
and yet the price is only one-half the price of roots. Our 
own planting for several years has been at least 75 per 
cent plants. 
BUT REMEMBER THIS 
There’s a big difference in plants, so place your order 
with a grower who you know has the knowledge and 
proper stock and equipment to produce the highest grade 
plants.
