Hormodin "A" is the new root-inducing 
chemical that stimulates rapid root growth 
on leafy cuttings, being especially valuable 
for propagating all plants by cuttings, whether 
rooted with ease or normally rooted with dif¬ 
ficulty. Many plants formerly impossible to 
propagate from cuttings may now be rooted 
with the aid of Hormodin.

Annuals are those flowers that attain their 
full growth, bloom and die the first year. 
Among these are the Asters, Balsam, Cos¬ 
mos, Zinnias, Mignonettes, Sweet Peas, Nas¬ 
turtiums, Morning Glories and other brilliant 
and fragrant sorts. 
Biennials produced from seed generally 
flower the first and second year and then 
die, the life of the plant being two seasons. 
Perennials usually do not flower the first 
year, unless started early in the season. 
Perennials live and blossom year after year. 
These sorts constitute the "Hardy Flowers," 
such as Hollyhocks, Sweet William, etc.
