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 regu- 
lar listing for grades recommended for 
potting. 
PINK FLOWERING ALMOND—Fast seller in pots because it blooms early 
—semi-dwarf. 
CRAPEMYRTLE—This shrub is hard to transplant when dormant. Potting 
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. 
FORSYTHIA, SPRING GLORY—Folks always want to buy Forsythia when 
it is in bloom. Fix it so they can. 
LILAC ROTHOMAGENSIS—Blooms 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. 
CARYOPTERIS SILVER LACEVINE 
BUDDLEIA PAUL’S SCARLET THORN 
—HOPA FLOWERING CRAB PERENNIALS 
SMALL EVERGREENS FRUIT TREES 
CRIMSON KING MAPLE ROSES
