Varieties Suitable for Pot Culture 
Under this heading we have selected varieties that are naturally dwarf in growth, 
believing that they are better adapted for plants for general use. There is consider¬ 
able diversity of opinion as to whether the small or Pompon type or the large-flower- 
mg ones are most suitable for this purpose and in greatest demand. If allowed to 
flower naturally they will afford the greatest display of color, but if large flowers are 
desired they may be restricted to three, four or five growths and then disbudded. To 
keep the plants dwarf it is essential that they be pinched many times during a sea¬ 
son and this operation repeated until a few weeks prior to bud formation. It is impos¬ 
sible to give the exact date for pinching, but the flowering period should be the guide
