A joy to grow! See the Grandsire of Holmes DYNA-GRO 
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 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. Uprightspread- 
ing for greatest mass effect. Pictured on opposite page. 
CAMEO. 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)
