Plants for Garden, Terrace, Window Box, Planter

Annuals and many of the biennials and perennials can be grown in and sold directly from 2-, 3-, or 4-inch pots, or started in flats and grown on in pots. Grown and sold in pots (and especially in the organic pots) plants suffer little or no setback when transplanted to the garden, terrace, or window box. The busy gardener appreciates the fact that he doesn’t have to plant potted plants immediately. Unlike flatted plants, which tend to grow into a jungle, individually potted plants can be kept for some time in a sheltered area as under shrubs or on a shady porch.

If your greenhouse is small and this is your first year in business, you may find it advisable to purchase ready-grown stock in lots of 25 to 100 for resale. The more popular plants are reasonably priced when you buy in lots, thus enabling you to make a substantial profit, at least 50 per cent, on them. Later, as you discover which plants your customers favor, you can make provisions for starting your own crop in the greenhouse, cold frame, or hot bed.

Since new varieties appear and sometimes fade away so rapidly, I’m not going to delve into them very much in the following plant notes. I urge you, however, to keep posted on the All-America Selections and other introductions each year. Don’t be afraid to be a leader in offering these to your customers, but don’t be too quick to discard the old reliable varieties, either.
