OUR GREEN PLANTS are grown so as to give the maximum of results equal or 
superior to root stock. This is only accomplished by the selection of healthy vigorous 
roots benched in a moderate heat that will enable us to take stocky base cuttings. 
Only a reasonable number of cuttings are taken and none used that are spindly. 
After cuttings are rooted and potted and begin to grow they are moved to cooler 
quarters and later shifted to larger pots; at this stage small tubers are beginning to 
form, assuring that clumps will be obtained at digging time; the plants are later 
hardened off in ‘‘outside quarters’? so as to withstand shipping and be in condition 
for planting out. OUR PLANTS ARE SHIPPED FROM 3 INCH POTS.

Should you be interested in ROOTED CUTTINGS of any of the newer varieties, 
write us and we will advise if we have sufficient ‘“‘Base Cuttings” to enable us to 
supply ROOTED CUTTINGS at one-third less than the cost of plants. Taken from 
the sand and wrapped and shipped in wet sphagnum moss we guarantee delivery in 
good condition and that they are true to name; here our responsibility ceases for 
proper facilities (coldframes, good potting soil and 3 & 4 inch pots) are needed and 
some knowledge required to give them the care essential to maintain their vitality 
and grow them to worth-while plants hardened off for outside planting.
