DESIRABLE POT PLANTS 
Here are attractive plants for the window garden, the 
sun-parlor or the conservatory. Many of them have other 
uses, too; in the porch or window box, or perhaps for 
bedding, or as summer fillers in rock garden or border, but 
primarily most of them are house plants. They are shipped 
packed in damp moss, and safe arrival in good, growable 
condition is guaranteed during the period from early 
April to late November. Through the remaining four 
months of the year, the winter season, shipments can be 
made only when customer accepts the risk of freezing 
in transit. We shall, however,.endeavor to give frost- 
proof packing during the winter months, and in general 
winter shipments by express are fairly safe. Plants are 
supplied in young stock, in sizes suitable for safe packing 
and easy transit. They will soon grow into fine specimens.
