high and earlier planting will ensure bushy plants 
4-5 feet high, flowers are large and are in season 
Sept. 15 and onwards. This puts all other so-called 
pinks utterly in the shade and is easily the most

1937. Early application is suggested as the demand 
this season will far exceed the supply. 50 cents 
each, $5.00 doz.
