Special Helpful Information 
Several of the plants listed have cer- 
tain peculiar habits when transplanted. 
Lemon Verbena will, in most cases, lose 
all of its foliage. However, although you 
seem to have only a “stick” for vour 
pains, watch closely for new small 
growth begin to come from along the 
stem. It should start within about 10 
days. Keep well watered during this 
transition period. The following plants 
tend to turn brown when moved to a 
new locality, and in some cases will 
take about 10 days to show new green 
growth coming. Give them good care, 
plenty of water and sun, and they should 
come back fast. These include the 
following scented geraniums: Lime, 
Lemon (both varieties), Skeleton Rose 
and Fern Leaved. Please be guided by 
this information, and it should save us 
all needless correspondence. 
We do not have space to give detailed 
propagation information on all the 
plants. If you are a beginner, you can
