REITH^S Plants are ‘‘VITALIZED” 
Extra Vigor and Quality Forced Into Them 
By “Vitalized” we do not mean just fertilized and the like but a whole 
chain of operations that insure the highest production possible in 
plants. This is the Keith Way of growing plants

Thej' are grown in an ideal plant soil with plenty of natural plant 
foods like that found only in virgin soils. 
Special fertilizers are used that tend to produce vigorous roots 
and crowns which insure greatest growth and production. 
Continuous cultivation and extra fertilizing along side the rows 
all during the growing season. 
Lifting plants at digging time with special machine which get all 
the roots without breaking or injuring them which is often the 
case with ordinary methods. 
Careful handling after they have been taken from the soil so they 
are not exposed to the sun and drying winds. They are kept fresh 
and reach you in this fresh condition. 
They are all hand-cleaned indoors and made ready for you to 
plant without any pruning. 
/ They are carefully packed in special crates after a method devis- 
, ed by Keith which insures arrival in best of condition. The roots 
are embedded in damp special moss, and the tops exposed 
to ventilation. They reach you as fresh as the day tliey were dug. 
These are some of the operations that enables Keith to grow and 
supply you with “Vitalized” plants.

Keith’s Plants 
Keith’s Vitalized plants are so full of pep that 
they start growing for you as soon as you get 
them in the ground. No waiting around half 
the summer for them to get started, they 
START QUICK. They are just like a well-

you at once. They do not have to be fed up 
to get them going. We have already do3ie this 
for you. 
Smaller orders are securely wrapped in waterproof 
Paper with the plant roots embedded in moist special 
moss wrai)ped in waxed paper. 
Keith’s Special Method of Packing: their Vitalized 
plants. Special Moss keeps the roots moist and plant 
crowns and leaves fresh for long: distant shipping:. 
We also use a si)eeial wire-bound crate. 
Keith’s Special Packing Methods 
We do everything possible to have our plants 
reach you in good condition. We protect the 
plants from drying winds, etc., from the time 
they are dug until packed for shipment. They 
are then packed upright in wirebound crates 
with their roots embedded in damp moss (see 
5-6-7 at top of page), and are sure to reach 
you in the best of condition. 
Half Way Around the World 
Our system of packing is different and so 
efficient that we can safely ship our Vitalized 
plants half way around the world.
