All Especially Prepared For The Purpose 
Our long experience in this particular branch of our business has enabled us to select the proper plants for forc¬ 
ing and also prepare them for you so that you will not suffer any losses. Before shipping, this material is prop¬ 
erly 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 orde r 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.
