SHRUBS ESPECIALLY RECOMMENDED 
FOR POTTING IN Cloverset POTS 
The following popular varieties of 
shrubs are especially adapted for grow- 
ing in Cloverset Pots, and find a ready 
sale. Instead of selling them as dor- 
mant plants for only a few weeks in 
spring and fall, have them available for 
your customers at all times. See regular 
listing for grades recommended for pot- 
ting. 
PINK FLOWERING ALMOND — Fast seller in pots because it blooms 
early — semi-dwarf. 
CRAPEMYRTLE — This shrub is hard to transplant when dormant. Pot- 
ting overcomes this. Cut tops back severely when potting. 
FLOWERING QUINCE (Cydonia Japonica) — The early bright red blooms 
on the superior Willis strain of quince make it a natural for pot sales. 
Cut back when potting. 
GOLDEN ELDER — Here is a low priced shrub that will satisfy the desire 
for bright color. The brilliant yellow foliage shows up early. Grows 
rapidly —makes good screen planting. 
LILACS — Bloom well in Cloverset pots. Have them readily available 
for your customers. 
HYDRANGEA NIKKO BLUE — Because these wonderful shrubs have short 
tops they will sell better if potted with new growth showing. 
TAMARIX — Potted plants transplant better. Cut back severely when 
potting.
