pots, more than I need for my ow use, and I am offering them to my custo- 
mers at $1.25 each, or 5 for $6.00. The 5 may be all of one cross or an 
assortment from the list. This list of crosses provides a color range as 
well as varying periods of bloom. All will produce beautiful, large blooms 
of excellent quality.
