POT PLANTS 
Three years ago nearly all Cyclamen, Calceolaria and Primula seed was grown abroad as 
were many of our Cinerarias and Begonias. In this short space of time the American seed 
trade has taken over the responsibility not only of producing most of these items in quantity, 
but of actually improving them in many instances. That many production problems alto- 
gether new to seed growers were met and solved quickly, is surely to the credit of a trade that is every 
day proving itself capable of adapting its ways to meet rapidly changing conditions. 
We take pardonable pride in having contributed our full share in this task. Today our greenhouses here 
in West Chicago with their thousands of pot plants for seed represent at least a small part of what we 
have come to know as—’’The American Way.”’ 
AMERICAN CINERARIAS 
There are no finer Cinerarias to be had than 
these American grown strains. We have every 
confidence in this statement, having flowered 
every important strain in existence in the past. 
This includes European as well as domestic 
strains. All varieties with one exception, listed 
on this page are produced here in West Chicago 
in Our Own greenhouses. 
Sow from June on for Christmas flowering and 
later. An early Sept. sowing will produce fine 
5 in. pots for the average Easter date while 
good 4’s can be had in May from a sowing made 
as late as mid-December.
