ALL PLANTS ARE STRONG, WELL ROOTED AND FREE OF DISEASE OR INJURIOUS 
For the past 41 years we have specialized in the propagation and growing of pelargoniums. 
Since our purchase of the greenhouses in 1914 the business has remained under the same owner- 
ship and management. 
We strive to always produce top quality plants. No expense is spared to have our stock healthy 
and free of disease or injurious insects as we realize that clean, strong, well rooted plants are im- 
portant to our customers. 
We have many greenhouses deyoted exclusively to pelargoniums. Our stock is arranged so that 
propagation is continuous throughout the year. Each year old varieties are discarded as newer and 
better ones become available. Selection of varieties is made to offer a complete color range of varie- 
ties best suited for pot plant culture. 
Pelargoniums are popular blooming pot plants for spring sales during April and May. The 
earliest varieties begin blooming in March, and others in April, and continue blooming through 
April, May, June and later. 
With each order we enclose a cultural leaflet which gives instructions concerning the growing 
of pelargoniums. Refer to this leaflet for suggested pinching dates, information about how to pre- 
vent shattering of petals, and general growing suggestions.
