Book Description

Excerpt from Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue, 1871 It is poor policy and arguing failure for any market grower to plant a great number of varieties, only plant a few varieties and those of the best, that are adapted to the particular soil and climate. Many varieties sue coed well in some localities that fail in others and in making selections re gard should always be had for this fact. It requires the most vigilant care to prevent the admixture of varieties. C could so. Grow and handle plants as to furnish them at much lower rates than offered, but wc prefer to give our customers a genuine article of the best quality, and in the best condition. And we are sure that it is greatly to their advantage to buy such plants, though paying a higher price for them. Plants left to take care of themselves, and to struggle through grass and weeds into a feeble growth, are not worthy to be compared in value to those that are laid in, and carefully worked during the whole growing sea son. We have no hesitation in saying that one plant grown thus is worth more than a dozen prod need in the ordinary way.
