ber to February, pot-grown plants at any time. Balled and 
burlapped plants are available except in July, August, and 
September. We will not make substitutions unless you instruct 
us to do so. 
DELIVERY by our trucks outside of suburban Tampa: orders for 
plants over $25.00, 15¢ per mile, round-trip basis. 
PLANTING TIME. Citrus trees for home planting, bare root 
and B&B, are easily moved beginning in October and through 
November, December, January, and February. For the past 
two warm seasons citrus trees have put out heavy new growth 
and bloomed in February which made it hard for the trees to 
get reestablished. Plant early for best results. Roses are best 
planted in December and January; bare-root, dormant fruit 
trees and deciduous plants in November, December, and Jan- 
vary (December and January are best); camellias and azaleas 
preferably from October to February; big trees, oaks and 
magnolias in December and January. Potted and tub-grown 
plants can be moved at any time of the year.
