‘eget 
New Hampshire strains are carefully developed to 
withstand the rigors of our New Hampshire winters 
and to mature quickly in the short northern growing 
season. New Hampshire strains are specially adapted 
to New Hampshire soils because they were first 
grown and developed here as superior types for the 
climatic conditions of New Hampshire. Local pur- 
chasing eliminates the middleman and gives the buyer 
the best plant possible. Buying native plants guaran- 
tees they will always be true to type since they were 
developed from the parent stock.

Every hour, every minute that 
a plant travels from grower to 
garden increases the hazard to 
the life of the plant. The ex-

roots and reduces the readiness 
of the plant to grow, thus losing 
valuable time. To insure a “green thumb,” buy from 
your local New Hampshire grower!
