To All Our Customers of 1943 
In an effort to supply our old customers with Mum cuttings for 1944, we have had 
to make some changes in our methods of filling orders. War production has played 
havoc with-the operation of all greenhouses. Owing to labor scarcity we will only be 
able to root 2/3 of the number of cuttings we did last year. 
So in order to treat everyone of our customers alike, we can fill 1944 orders with 
only 2/3 of the quantity purchased in 1943. We can, however, supply the remaining 
1/3 in unrooted cuttings. The cost of unrooted cuttings will be $10.00 per M less than 
our rooted cutting price listed in this catalog. 
Rooted cuttings will be placed in the sand immediately upon receipt of your order. 
Unrooted cuttings will be sent when wanted. The rooted cuttings will be ready for 
shipment in three or four weeks after the order is received. 
We have raised our minimum quantity that can be ordered of any variety from 25 
cuttings to 50 cuttings. Under no circumstance will any order be accepted for less 
than 50 of a kind or multiples thereof. 
No orders can be filled immediately. We will only root your cuttings after the 
order is received. We can, if desired, ship your quota of unrooted cuttings at once. 

PLEASE NOTE 
It is our policy to supply your mum cutting needs with such quality and at a price 
that it will be profitable for you to depend on us for them. Accordingly, price changes 
EITHER WAY will be made as conditions justify. 
To fill our customers orders in the most efficient manner we have discontinued, for 
the duration, all varieties of Exhibition, Feathery and the Hardy or Garden Type Mums.
