Double-Life Gardenias on our Nursery grounds. Over 9 
feet talland 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 Grafted DYNA-GRO Super Quality plants. Yes, 
they’re limited— only 3 strains have proved their fitness to be 
called Holmes Double-Life Gardenias. 
HOLMES PROLIFIC. Outstanding for its vigorous growth, 
big double flowers, prolific months of bloom. Upright spread- 
ing for greatest mass effect. Pictured on opposite page. 
XAMEO. Created, undoubtedly, just to be worn in Milady’s 
hair! The very large flowers open wide and flat like full- 
blown roses, so that they fit close in to even the most perfect 
hair-do! Compact, prolific; months of bloom. 
VEITCHI. Enjoys perpetual popularity because it out- 
blooms all other Gardenias. Low, spreading, filled with 
small shiny foliage and loaded with small to medium-sized, 
perfectly formed blooms for months and months and months, 
Heavily Budded and in Bloom (in Season)

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 DY NA- 
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.)
