CHIPPEWA. A University of Minnesota introduction. Very dark 
rose red or mallow-purple flowers of 8 inches. Practically double, 
but mature flowers will show an open center. Grows sturdy and 
erect, 2 ft. tall, and flowers early, Sept. 20. Blooms very freely and 
the color is outstanding. Chippewa was given an unusual amount of 
publicity to the retail trade last year. It deserves its popularity and 
will be in heavy retail demand this year. Good cut flower.

SAM WILLISTON. Large rosy-crimson flowers of 3% inches, semi- 
double. Blooms in great profusion. Height 18 inches. We believe 
that the flower size, color, and its early free-blooming habit will 
make this variety quite popular.

HOW TO HANDLE ROOTED CUTTINGS 
The usual procedure is to pot and grow in the greenhouse for 2 
or 3 weeks and then transfer to cold frames under hotbed sash. After 
a week or so, according to the weather, the sash may be entirely re- 
moved or only placed over the plants at night. This method makes 
fine plants to retail or to set in the field. Fine stock may be grown 
in the greenhouse if the temperature is kept low and plenty of ven- 
tilation is provided. 
If greenhouse space is not available, they may be grown entirely 
under hotbed sash. Such stock should be shaded and ventilated as 
needed. Water only enough to avoid wilting the first week. 
They may also be grown entirely without glass. Lath shades are 
placed over the frame, and a strip of unbleached muslin 8 ft. wide is 
laid over the top. The cloth must be held down by weights and the 
top must be so covered that no draughts can blow on the plants. The 
cloth may be removed in a week or so, and the shades in two weeks. 
Any potted stock placed in a coldframe, either under glass or cloth, 
should be plunged in sand or soil. Potted stock in flats dry out. 
Some growers do plant cuttings directly in the field, water each 
plant, and have good success under favorable weather con ae) but 
we do not recommend it.
