EVERGREEN refers to the foliage of varieties 
that remain evergreen throughout the winter in 
the far South. This class is less hardy North. North 
of the “Hardiness Line” they require good drainage 
Spring planting and winter mulching. 
“Varieties subject to severe winter injury or win- 
ter-kill in localities North of the “Hardiness Line” 
have an asterisk (*) at the end of the description. 
SPRING GOR SUMMER TRANSPLANT. 
ENG is recommended in localities North of the 
“Hardiness Line”, explained below. 
FIRST YEAR RESULTS: Early blooming 
varieties planted in Spring may fail to bloom until 
the following Spring. Do not judge any variety 
the first year as the performance with respect to 
flower size, color, plant height and branching are 
all below par. 
HARDINESS LENE: On a U. S. Map draw a 
line from the Northwest tip of the State of Okla- 
homa to Cleveland, Ohio and from Cleveland to 
Boston, Mass. Some varieties, usually with ever- 
green foliage, suffer injury and sometimes winter 
kill North of this line. 
PEANT DAWEILIES with bleached line on 
foliage at ground level, or with root crown approxi- 
mately 142 inches below surface. 
MULCHENG: A first winter mulch is desirable. 
The purpose is to protect the crown and the top soil 
a few inches around it from winter and early Spring 
thawing. Do not use soggy material. <A nest of 
-excelsior is good. 
PERMANENT METAL PLANT MARK- 
FERS included with each variety will continue if 
government metal allotments permit. 
MAZEL ORDERS: On orders under $3.00 please 
add 25¢c for packing and shipping. Missouri cus- 
tomers include sales tax. 
GUARANTEE: We use care to keep our plants 
true to name and are willing to replace, on proper 
proof, any found to be otherwise, but it is mutually 
agreed that in no case shall we be liable for more 
than the original cost. 
We try to add new proved varieties as they be-. 
come available from the hybridizers. When doing 
this we discard older originations, often good, in 
order to hold our list down to a reasonable size.
