OUR GREEN PLANTS are grown so as to give the maximum of results equal or 
superior to root stock. This is only accomplished by the selection of healthy vigorous 
roots benched in a moderate heat that will enable us to take stocky base cuttings. Only 
a reasonable number of cuttings are taken and none used that are spindly. After cuttings 
are rooted and potted and begin to grow they are moved to cooler quarters and later shifted 
to larger pots; at this stage small tubers are beginning to form, assuring that clumps wiil 
be obtained at digging time; the plants are later hardened off in ‘outside quarters’ so as 
to withstand shipping and be in condition for planting out. OUR PLANTS ARE 
SHIPPED FROM 3 INCH POTS. 
ROOTED CUTTINGS 
Should you be interested in ROOTED CUTTINGS of any of the newer varieties, 
write us and we will advise if we have sufficient ‘Base Cuttings’? to enable us to supply 
ROOTED CUTTINGS at one-third less than the cost of plants. Taken from the sand and 
wrapped and shipped in wet sphagnum moss we guarantee delivery in good condition and 
that they are true to name; here our responsibility ceases for proper facilities (cold-frames, 
good potting, soil and 3 and 4 inch pots) are needed and some knowledge required to 
give them the care essential to maintain their vitality and grow them to worth-while plants 
hardened off for outside planting. » 
WHERE STOCK WILL PERMIT AND VARIETIES LIST AT $1.00 OR MORE, WE 
WILL SUPPLY ROOTED-CUTTINGS AT ONE-THIRD LESS THAN-PLANT PRICES.
