SPECIAL HANDLING for Vegetable Plants 
Plant shipments marked ‘Special Handling” are usually sent 
through a little more quickly by the Post Office. An extra fee must 
be paid for each shipment to go by this method, so if your plants 
are to be shipped at different times be sure to include enough extra 
postage for each mailing. 
The extra amounts to be paid are approximately as follows: 
Vegetable plants, except potted plants; 1 or 2 doz. 10c extra; 
50 or 100 plants, 15c. Potted plants, 20c for any quantity on

TOMATO PLANTS 
tomatoes are not only grown but also shipped 
right in our No. 214 Fertile Pots (See page 84.) 
When you receive them, the pots are soft and 
resemble earth but they still feed the plant. 
Set out in the ground, pots and all, and the 
roots will grow right through them without 
being disturbed or checked. The top of the pot 
should be set two inches below the soil level. 
These big strong plants are well hardened 
and carefully packed and should produce earlier 
and better crops. 
We offer these varieties: Victor, Valiant, 
John Baer, Bonny Best and Rutgers. 
Because of the special shipping container, we 
cannot send less than 12 plants. 
$1.65 per Doz.; 2 Doz. $3.00; 50 plants $5.25, 
transportation paid. Not paid: 100 Plants $8.00. (Weight L00—50 lbs.). 
We also offer potted plants of the new Early Hybrid (Earliana x 
Valiant), $2.50 per doz. 2 doz. $4.50 postpaid. 

Transplanted Plants. Ready about May 15th. We give our plants 
much more space than most tomato plant growers, and this makes 
them stronger and more stocky. They are well hardened in cold frames 
before shipment. Varieties: Victor, Valiant, John Baer, Bonny 
Best, Stokesdale and Rutgers. 
75c per Doz.; 2 Doz. (1 or 2 varieties) $1.25; $1.90 for 50; $3.50 for 100,

Untransplanted Plants or Seedlings. Supplied from April 10 to May 
10. We sow our seed thinly in flats especially for these seedling plants. 
This makes them extra strong and sturdy. They should be transplanted 
in frames or boxes and grown for two weeks or more before setting out 
in the open ground. Good hardy plants, 3 to 4 in. high. Varieties: 
Victor, Valiant, John Baer, Stokesdale and Rutgers. 
85c for 100; $3.00 for 500; $5.00 for 1,000 transportation paid. In 
ordering be sure to specify the date wanted. 

“TI have just received the fifty transplanted Rutgers tomato plants ordered from you; and to say that I am pleased with them would be putting it mildly 
indeed. They are the sturdiest, best grown plants I have ever received.”” Theodore Nathanson, Clinton Corners, N. Y. June 2, 1947. 
OTHER PLANTS AND ROOTS 
Pe ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Mary Washington. This is the best kind of asparagus to grow. It is rust-resistant, large and 
vigorous, producing thick stalks of the choicest quality. Asparagus fresh from your garden is 
much more delicious than any you can buy and it is surprisingly easy to raise. Once established 
a bed will last for a great many years with a minimum of care. 
The most important thing is to start with good roots. We specialize in well-grown, freshly 
dug roots of good size, carefully sorted and bunched. 50 to 100 roots will supply plenty of 
asparagus for a family. One year roots are best to start a permanent bed. A small cutting may 
be made the second year after planting and the bed may be cut all spring the third year. Set 
out 14% to 2 ft. apart in rows 4 ft. apart. 
One year roots only: 25 for $1.25; 50 for $2.00; 100 for $3.50 transportation paid. Not 
paid: 500 roots $11.00; 1000 roots $20.00. 
RHUBARB ROOTS 
MacDonald. The finest kind of rhubarb, making a large vigorous growth with big red stalks. 
The quality is excellent, tender and fine-flavored. See full description on page 31. 
Root Divisions: 75c each; 3 for $1.90; 10 for $5.00 transportation paid. Not paid: 25 for $7.50; 
100 for $25.00. 
HORSE-RADISH SETS 
Very easy to grow. Plant the sets (small lengths of roots) early in the spring about 18 in. apart 
in 3 ft. rows, putting the pointed end down and the top 2 in. below soil level. 
New White Hot. Much better than ordinary horseradish—more vigorous, hotter and holds its 
white color better. In good soil it makes fine big roots for fall and winter use. 
$1.00 per Doz.; $2.25 for 50; $4.00 per 100 transportation paid. 
HERB PLANTS 
SAGE—Holt’s Mammoth Broad Leaf. The best sage; it is a true perennial which does not go 
to seed and produces a heavy yield.of leaves; once established it will last for years. These are 
very fine sturdy potted plants grown in the greenhouse and hardened outdoors. 
3 plants $1.00; Doz. $3.50 transportation paid. 
CHIVES. An attractive small perennial plant that can be grown almost anywhere. The green 
tops have a mild onion-like flavor and are used for flavoring soups, sauces, and meats, and 
also in salad. 
3 Clumps 90c; Doz. $3.00 transportation paid.
