All Especially Prepared For The Purpose 
Every year there are more especially adapted forcing plants being planted by the florists. In order to follow the 
trend, we are continuously preparing larger quantities of popular varieties. Our long experience in this particular 
branch of our business has enabled us to select the proper plants for forcing and also prepare them for you so 
that you will not suffer any losses. Before shipping, this material is properly frost cured and handled at 
times best adapted for the purpose. Most all hardy plants for forcing should be started off in cool temperature 
for about two weeks and later increased to regular Carnation temperature. 
We are listing on these two pages the popular varieties together with cultural hints. For complete descriptions, 
please consult our regular alphabetical listing. If you wish further information, we will be very glad if you 
will call on us. May we suggest that you place your order early so that we can make reservations of this espe¬ 
cially prepared forcing material for shipment at the proper time. This will assure you additional profits during 
the dull winter months.
