In the above cut we show at tine 
left hand side the division as separ- 
ated from clump. You will note that 
the eye is attached to figure 245; 
figure 246 has no eye and neck is 
cracked just below the crown. This 
part of the division is absolutely 
worthless and could only serve to 
make the division seem larger. Figure 
247 shows the division trimmed ready 
for shipment. Note that all unneces- 
sary parts of the division, including 
the fibrous roots and long tails are 
trimmed off, leaving a clean, strong, 
plump, healthy root with a sound 
neck and good eye ready for plant- 
ing. The cut is about one-third 
actual size, the finished root, figure 
247, having been about 4% inches 
long and weighing 1% ounces, or 
just about half what) the original 
division weighed. To those who are 
buying their stock untrimmed our 
roots may seem small; but why pay 
postage on unnecessary parts of roots 
and why send out stock that is un- 
finished in appearance any more than 
you would send out a peach or apple 
tree with the trunk untrimmed or 
unstripped of side shoots? 
If you plant your Da'‘slias by ma- 
chine, as we do, you will find our 
trimmed roots work perfectly, where- 
as the untrimmed divisions cannot 
be used with any degree of satiis- 
faction. 
We would alo call your attention 
to the fact that this extra trimming 
means considerably more work in the 
matter of preparing stioock whicin we 
give you without extra cost because 
we beieve your customers will be 
better satisfied with such stock.
