If the heavy root system of well grown plants is confined to a comparatively small pot 
feeding them can more easily be overdone than when growing in the open where an ex- 
cess of fertility can be or is leached away. Applying a small spoon full of Vigoro 2-3 
times during the growing season is common practice, but with a lean soil better use a 
mixture containing more nitrogen. After all, what feed a plant can use depends on its 
vigor or appearance and what was used in the soil when potting, so it’s pretty hard to say 
anything definite about feeding. In applying any fertility to growing plants, check on it 
by omitting it with some plants. The results might prove that a lot of fertilizers are 
sometimes wasted. 
Years back small flowered varieties including pompons were principally used for pot 
plants. Today the buying public largely chooses the big ones, so the same attention 
must be paid to disbudding such, as when grown for cutting. The class referred to as 
“disbudded pomps” and the Anemones and singles are also popular for this purpose. 
While the varieties used cover nearly all on the list that tend to be at all compact, the 
list of pot plant varieties in this catalog generally covers most popular varieties (see 
page 17).
