EXPLANATION OF SIZES 
2 Rooted cuttings are about 6 inches long. These, of course, cannot be expected 
to bloom this year. Medium plants are well established, branched plants, many of 
which will bloom this season. It should be noted that there is considerable differ- 
ence in this respect in the different varieties. Some bloom as young plants and 
others only when reasonably mature. Specimen plants are 2 feet or over, except for 
some of the dwarf basket types; all are well branched, mature plants which can be 
counted on to make a fine showing of bloom. 
While plants can be shipped quite satisfactorily in bud, to flower after 
arrival, we suggest ordering for March delivery so that plants can become re-estab- 
8 lished before flowering.
