BARE ROOT SEEDLINGS = READY FOR COMMUNITY POT 
The more "bare root" orders I get, the more I realize that my customers like 
the idea of 1. saving transportation cost by getting their seedlings via Pre- 
paid Air Mail, 2. saving the labor charge by doing the potting, 3. buying a 
variety of hybrids for less than they once would have paid for too many seed- 
lings of a single cross. 
So far, most of the seedlings out of transplanted flasks that I have shipped 
“bare root" have been out-of-the-country orders for the entire contents of a 
flask. In other words, 100 or more seedlings of a cross. 
Many of you have written me that you'd like to try a flask except that 100 
scedlings of any one hybrid are too darn many for an already crowded green- 
house! 
Okay, I accept the challenge. 
How would you like to buy just enough seedlings to plant one community pot... 
potting mixture included, of course? 
The seedlings will average 3/8" to 1/2" in height, with good root growth to 
tuck down into the potting mixture (See Page D, but you won't need the part 
about getting the seedlings out of the flask or free from the agar. That will 
be done for you. And since all your 20 or more seedlings will be of uniform 
size, you won'd need to worry about those tiny, rootless ones.) 
The bare root seedlings, ready for community pot..eplus sufficient potting 
mixture for one community pot, will fly to you, Air Mail prepaid. 
Price per 20 bare root seedlings, ready for community pot....seeecceeeee$ds00 
(All the same cross, of course. Different crosses should not 
be planted in the same community pot for obvious reasons. ) 
Or, ALL SIX crosses, ready for community pots (potting mixture included)
