SUGGESTIONS FOR CULTURE OF CASCADES 
e FOREWORD—Plants to be used for cascading effects 
are chosen because of their natural habit of producing 
a bushy growth and strong, flexible stems clothed with 
an abundance of florescent splendor. 
SOILS—Satisfactory results may be obtained by using 
a good, productive garden soil. Maximum results may 
best be had by the use of a compost prepared accord- 
ing to the specifications of any one of numerous formu- 
lae suitable for the purpose. We suggest that you try 
a mixture composed of one part well-rotted steer 
manure, one part thoroughly decomposed leaf mold and 
two parts fairly heavy loam. 
POTTING—Upon arrival plant should be placed in a 
4 or 6 inch pot, size to be determined by stage of root 
development. Subsequent changes to increasingly larger 
pots must be made as the need arises. Each change 
should be accomplished before roots have had an op- 
portunity to become pot-bound. Normally, July 15th 
should find plant permanently established in a 10 or 
12 inch pot. 
WATERING—Space adequate for watering purposes 
must be left at top of pot. Watering should be attended 
to daily and sufficiently early to insure superficial dry- 
ness of foliage before nightfall. 
FERTILIZERS — Although liquid fertilizers com- 
pounded from animal manure are considered old- 
fashioned and are in truth a bit messy in the manner 
of their making they are none the less effective when 
properly applied. Commercial fertilizers have come 
into general use, are readily available and convenient 
to handle. Your dealer is doubtless qualified to choose 
the one most suitable for your specific need should you 
elect to use some form of the latter. 
FEEDING—tThe plant must be fed more or less spar- 
ingly at bi-weekly intervals. After each application of 
fertilizer careful study of the progress of growth being 
made by the plant and the condition of its foliage 
should give you a clue as to the amount and strength 
you need apply with each subsequent application. 
Avoid overfeeding at all times. Discontinue feeding 
when buds begin to show color. 
TRAINING—By taking advantage of its natural pli- 
ability and with proper manipulation this type of plant 
may be trained after a fashion to suit the individual 
taste. The heartshaped cascade seems to be in public 
favor at the time and it is chiefly to the method of its 
training that we devote the following with a word of 
admonition to bear in mind the fact that the basic 
principle of inducing widespread growth and maximum 
florescence remains the same regardless of the delinea- 
tion of pattern desired. 
When plant is 5 or 6 inches high pinch top. From 
new growth reserve uppermost shoot for use as main 
leader. Stop remaining shoots at second or third joint. 
Later divide equally and train to either side of main 
leader. It is often desirable to use but one shoot on 
each side of the main leader and remove the rest. 
When main leader is 12 inches high train to a firmly 
imbedded No. 10 galvanized wire 4 feet in length pre- 
viously bent, at a point 5 inches above surface level 
of pot, to an angle of 45 degrees. Outer tip of wire 
must face to north. Tie end of main leader to support- 
ing wire at weekly intervals. 
All laterals and sublaterals should be pinched syste- 
matically at every second or third joint throughout the 
growing season to insure spread of growth and sym- 
metry of form. As plant increases in width additional 
support is necessary for the purpose of stabilization. 
To overcome the natural tendency of plant to develop 
blooms from extreme tip first with a perceptible move- 
ment toward base, discontinue routine pinching about 
Sept. Ist. On Sept. 5th complete final pinching of 
broadest one-third or basal division, on Sept. 10th the 
ucseetone one-third and on Sept. 15th the final one- 
ird. 
Gradually lower main leader so that it will be in a 
horizontal position about Sept. 15th. When buds begin 
to form, with surface of plant facing south, start 
gradual downward bending of main leader and 
support. When buds show color place on solid base at 
required height and bend to final vertical position.
