BLEEDING HEARTS (Dicentra Spectabilis) 
This is a specialty with us and we grow many thousands. Our 
method of culture produces a root that is easier to pot and handle. 
For Mother’s Day these plants require only cold frame protection 
and if forced for St. Valentine’s Day or Easter they can be 
flowered in three to six weeks, depending on temperature. Rea- 
sonable in price and showy. You can always sell well-grown 
plants.
