Double-Life Gardenias on our Nursery grounds. Over 9 
feet tall and over 25 feet around—and covered all over with un- 
countable thousands of blooms for weeks and weeks! 
These are not “second-hand plants” bought by us from 
unknown sources and sold to you! Every one starts its life in 
our Nurseries here in Tampa under our guiding hand and cul- 
tural treatment. We know where and how they get their vigor, 
long life, prolific blooming habit and floral beauty and guar- 
antee they are direct descendants of the gorgeous mature giants 
you see in our Nurseries. 
Don’t waste time with puny “*5-and-dime”’ plants that often 
live only a year or two. Start once, and start right—with 
Holmes DYNA-GRO Super Quality plants. Yes, they’re 
limited—only 3 strains have proved their fitness to be called 
Holmes Double-Life Gardenias. 
HOLMES. Outstanding for its vigorous growth, big double 
flowers, prolific months of bloom. Upright spreading for 
greatest mass effect. 
McLELLAN. Outstanding for the beauty of its foliage, cov- 
ered with very large flowers, tending to open wide and flat 
like full-blown roses. Compact, prolific; months of bloom. 
VEITCHI. Outstanding for its perpetual popularity. Low, 
spreading, filled with small shiny foliage and loaded with 
small to medium-sized, perfectly formed blooms for months.

We don’t grow these any more than the stores do. Not so 
good, won’t live so long, bloom so well or so long as DYNA- 
GRO. Same guarantee as you get from the stores—nothing! 
Sold the same way—cash in advance. Instead of giving your 
money to the stores, buy these from us. At least we will sym- 
pathize with you. Guaranteed to be alive—look, grow and 
smell just the same as Gardenias. (Same price as stores.)
