Newest and Best Grown 
Remember plants grown in 3x3x3 boxes (not pots) make 
the finest clumps, as they get such a good start and are 
planted just as they are after removing the bands, no re- 
moving the dirt to straighten out the roots, the roots are al- 
ready straight and not pot bound. 
Rooted Cuttings 
We sell rooted cuttings of any variety I list plants for 
sale of, in my book at % less than the price of a plant. Un- 
less you are an experienced plantgrower, we do not advise 
the purchase of rooted cuttings. 
Rooted cuttings are sold only on the basis of safe delivery 
and good cuttings and our responsibility ceases there. If 
purchased, they should be potted soon as received in 3 or 
4 inch pots in good potting soil and shaded 3 or 4 days, then 
grown in a green‘ house or hotbed until you are ready to 
plant them out.
