2. DEVELOPING AND IDENTIFYING PLANTS
Our plants were originally developed by Mr. Charles T. Daniels master horticulturist as a hobby. A greeting card firm, wishing to purchase a million four leaf clovers for use on their cards, required proof that the leaves were truly genuine clover. We therefor [sic] submitted our plant to the United States Department of Agriculture for identification. After complete and exhaustive investigation, the new plant was positively identified as genuine White Clover. (Trifolium repens L.). This is the type of clover generally found growing in lawns.
4. HOW PRESERVED
The production process, after harvesting, has been subjected to endless refinement. Suffice it to say that a special chemical treatment was developed which preserves the natural clover-green color.
Special presses were designed and built for drying and sterilizing the clovers. After the color process is completed the leaves are pressed dry. For this process each leaf is placed on a specially designed tray so that each petal stands apart from the others and is attractively arranged.
The result is a dried genuine four-leaf clover in its beautiful natural green color. It is sterilized, and it will retain its shape and color for years.Transcriber
