FOR EASY MOVING ... 
Mere Plants Grom Pots ! 
Over a period of years we have been growing more and more plants in pots. These plants are kept in our 
‘““growing-on’’ greenhouse just long enough to become established. Then they are “plunged” up to their rims 
in sand in coldframes. The frames are well ventilated and the glass sash are used in Winter merely to keep off 
excessive rain or snow and when lowered to protect the stock from our frigid, drying ‘East Wind’’. The plants 
are not ‘‘forced”’ in the frames and we produce well rooted stock with compact tops. This is a great advantage 
in packing and shipping. We have access to the plants even during periods of rainy or freezing weather and 
they can be packed easily and sent on their way to you quickly. Plants from pots travel safely and establish very 
rapidly in your garden. For these reasons we shall be sending you some plants from pots this year that are 
not so listed in our last year’s publications. We have so many letters in our files from satisfied customers 
confirming our own experiences with plants from pots that we feel confident you will like them too.

Sapeaee Visit Our Gardens 
AND 
MANY We have found it necessary to request all visitors to contact us in 
OTHER advance of their visits. Our business is conducted almost entirely 
on a mail order basis. As you can easily understand, it is impractical 
Neu for one of our staff to drop his regular duties to conduct visitors 
V/ ° ty, 4 and customers about the grounds. This is especially true during the 
shipping seasons when work goes on at a furious pace day and night 
for 1949 because those seasons are so short and have such definite time 
limits. If you make a mutually convenient appointment with us, 
Inside we shall be able to give you much more of our time. You are wel-
