Seedlings and Potted Transplants 
Seedlings are a specialty with us. We grow millions (literally) of ‘em for the whole- 
sale trade. We also root cuttings in quantity and establish them in pots or plant 
bands. 
Many of our friends like to purchase these little fellows and grow them on in their 
garden or home nursery. A few dollars invested in quality “liners’’ (a nursery term 
denoting a small plant to be “lined out” in the nursery) now will balloon in value as 
the plants develop into landscape specimens. If you have a touch of green thumb 
and a little space in your garden it’s fun and financially rewarding to grow your 
own specimens. 
We set these little rascals out in rows or beds 12 or 15 inches apart. Ordinary good 
garden soil, which is well drained, is fine, and the location should have some pro-

tection against sweeping winds. Mulching is necessary for fall plantings and bene- 
ficial for spring plantings. Transplants from pots or bands, which come with a little 
ball of soil, are simply firmed in the bed and watered. With bare-root seedlings and 
transplants, we dip the roots in a bucket of thin mud and remove one by one as they 
are set so that the roots never have a chance to dry. Actually, we get virtually 100% 
survival with the banded plants. The bare-root seedlings are a little more tricky. 
Every one may grow or you may lose a portion if weather or your skill are not up to 
snuff. We guarantee all these plants to reach you in A-1 condition and to be top 
grade in every respect, but we cannot guarantee survival—this is up to you. But re-
