Yonoral Information 
SIZE OF PLANTS. All varieties are available as strong, well- 
established plants with heavy root systems, grown in 2¥%4- 
inch pots without artificial heat which produces moderately 
hard tops so plants will ship well. The height of plants 
varies with varieties but all zonal geraniums are of sufficient 
size and age to be flowering. Plants are in bud or bloom 
when shipped. Each plant is labeled with the variety name. 
Larger plants available at Gardens. 
EFFECTS OF SHIPPING. Plants in transit three days or less 
show little or no effects of shipping. Plants in transit five 
or six days may show some yellowing of lower leaves, 
especially in hot weather. It is normal for the plants to 
seem to get worse for a few days after they are unpacked. 
This sort of damage is not serious. Usually, plants leaf out 
quickly and are bushier than otherwise. 
Plants are especially selected for shipping, and are care- 
fully packed with the soil, in which they were grown, left 
on their roots. We have no control over plants after they 
are shipped and can accept no responsibility for damage 
or loss in transit or after delivery. 
Shipments are made the year around via Parcel Post, Special 
Handling on all orders of $3.00 or more. 
TERMS. All sales are cash. No C.O.D. orders accepted. 
Prices do not include postage. Larger plants are shipped 
via Railway Express or Truck Lines.

(Cultural Notes 
IN THE GARDEN. Geraniums will thrive out-of-doors in any 
reasonably well-drained garden soil. The soil need not. be 
rich as rich soil tends to encourage leaf growth at the ex- 
pense of blossoms. Geraniums are sun-loving and will thrive 
in full sun, however, in climates where the summer sun is 
intense, the flowers will be larger and finer if they have 
shade during the middle of the day, but be sure they have 
some sun, otherwise, they will not flower. Geraniums will 
stand a little frost, but will be damaged or killed if exposed 
to temperatures below 28 degrees F. 
Plants should be set a little deeper in the soil than they 
were in their pots, but not so deep as to cover any of the 
leaf stalks. Soil should be pressed firmly around the root
