We are listing in this catalogue. 
ROOTS. These are the standard “roots” of American growers, consisting of a 
division of a field or farm grown clumps and having at least one eye or sprout. 
POT CLUMPS. Are produced from plants in four inch pots. They consist of 
small clumps of plump roots. They keep exceptionally well and are the stan- 
dard root, in most cases, of the European growers. 
OUR POT CLUMPS are grown by a superior process, they are suprisingly large 
and plump in comparison with other pot roots, and are definitely greater in 
value as planting and propagating stock than the ordinary root; for they 
will average more than one eye and in most cases may be divided. They are 
the most vigorous of any planting stock and are most excellent for propaga- 
tion. Unless directed otherwise, with varities of which root stock is limited, 
we me not hesitate to substitute pot clumps for root divisions whenever 
available. 
ROOTED CUTTINGS. These are well-rooted heel or base cuttings taken from 
the sand and shipped direct to customer before development into plants. If 
immediately planted out they cannot be expected to survive 100% and are not 
so guaranteed. Rooted cuttings are guaranteed only to be the variety repre- 
sented, to have been taken from strong healthy stock and to arrive in growing 
condition. When received they should be repotted or transplanted to be grown 
into a well-developed plant before setting. Unless you have a greenhouse or 
conservatory or the equivalent we do not recommend the purchase of rooted 
cuttings. 
Rooted cuttings may be purchased in all varieties of which plants are quoted 
at one-third off plant prices. (See Index for plant prices.) 
Three rooted cuttings of one named dahlia (Plant Price $1.00) would be $3.00 
less + or $2.00, less quantity discount of 10% or $1.80; 6 rooted cuttings of the 
same would be $3.20 and 10 rooted cuttings would be $5.00. If this was part of 
a $6.00 order it would again be subject to a discount of 10% etc. (See Dis- 
counts). 
PLANTS. These are developed by us from selected rooted cuttings which have 
been transplanted to a good growing soil mixture in 214” pots until well grown 
and hardened to light. They are shipped in their own dirt. When received 
they should be set in good dirt without disturbing the ball of earth. Water 
well. See Index for plant prices.
