SUGGESTIONS FOR SPECIAL USE OF CERTAIN PLANTS 
We are listing below, for your guidance, certain plants that are particularly well suited for 
specific purposes. We selected items that we thought were qualified for such use more than many 
others that are listed in the catalog. For instance—All agapanthus may be grown in pots, but some 
are so large and robust that within one season they will require tubs instead of pots; Dianella can 
be grown as a house plant but it blooms too late in the season; and all billberias will thrive in 
hanging baskets but most have upright growth. In other cases the plants grow far better in the 
ground so why grow them in pots? 
For house culture we selected plants with long lasting ornamental values, winter blooming habit 
and convenient size. All or most of these should be grown out of doors when the weather permits 
and brought indoors only during the winter.
