FORBES CHOICE FLAT-GROWN PLANTS 
With our increased facilities we offer this year a much greater variety of flowering plants for 
your selection. You will find below many of the hard-to-get bedding plants. As our Newark 
store is limited in space for handling plants in great variety, we suggest that you stop at Forbes 
Sales Garden on Route 10, Hanover, N. J., where you will find all the plants available. These 
are well-developed, strongly rooted plants that have been hardened off before you get them.
