Buy Zant’s 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 hard¬ 
ened off before shipping and the many letters of appre¬ 
ciation 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-third to 
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.

Hello Michigan: Southbridge, Mass. 
Well, John, this is the time we report. I have had a great 
display. You will find a few photos to enter into your con¬ 
test. Murphy’s Masterpiece was a beauty, two over 13 
inches which you will see me holding in the photo. I asked 
a visitor, he is head gardener of a large estate to bring 
his employer down to see the blooms, but he said, “Do you 
want me to lose my job?” So I took that as a compliment 
to your stock. The following varieties all had blooms over 
12 inches: America’s Sweetheart, Miss Glory, Pride of 
America, Daddy Kemp, White Wonder, Hunt’s Velvet Won¬ 
der, and Clara Carder. I had a lot of visitors who wanted 
to know where I bought my stock so please send me some 
extra catalogs next spring. MR. DAVID YATES.
