ANTS—There is a small ant about 1/16 inch long, red head and 
black abdomen, that will attack the dahlia young or old, and can Zo 
so far as to kill the plant, by girdling the stem near the surface of 
the ground. These pests will sting for no reason at all if he finds 
himself on you. Kill him and his entire tribe with 50% DDT 
powdered around the stalk. We have found that regvlar ant 
poisons do not affect this one. 
We are constantly alert for mosiac stunt and leaf spot in our 
greenhouse, lath house, and garden throughout the year. If we 
find any such plant, we spray the entire area, then burn the plant. 
Our stock is exceptionally clean. 
GREEN PLANTS 
Our green plants are produced 
from base cuttings and rooted in a 
special propagating bed. They are 
then placed in a 4 inch pot and when 
they show a definite growth they are 
sold. We find that the quality and 
size of blooms for exhibition are 
just as good as when grown from 

roots. Rooted Cuttings
