Cascade Standard Varieties 
The Cascade varieties are all of exceptional beauty and ex- 
quisite daintiness. While chosen primarily for the ease with which 
they may be trained to hang or ‘'casgade” downward, there are 
numerous ways in which they may be made to yield equally grati- 
fying results with a minimum expenditure of time and effort. 
Planted in the garden and stopped a number of times in the 
usual manner, these little-heralded horticultural phenomena will 
develop a rugged bushiness of free flowering growth that for sheer 
beauty may, perchance, outrival the much vaunted glory of the 
larger and more pretentious of their brethren. 
Grown in pots and without special training, they may be taken 
care of in the open until such time as it is desirable to transfer 
them indoors, where their presence may lend a bit of sunshine to 
what otherwise might be a colorless interior. Let the Fall season 
of dark shadows and crispness of air be brightened and warmed 
by the comforting cheer irradiating from one or more well-groomed 
planis of this type strategically placed on window ledge, bench 
or table.

Suggestions for Culture of Cascades 
PREPARATION OF SOIL. The potting soil is prepared by mix- 
ing 2 parts by volume of fibrous loam of good structure, 2 parts 
well decayed leaf mold, and 1 part of manure. In addition, a S-inch 
potfull of bonemeal or superphosphate may be incorporated to 
every 3 bushels of mixture. This soil mixture may be prepared in 
large quantities and stored in shelter for later use. 
FERTILIZER. Twice a month applications of commercial ferti- 
lizer (liquid fertilizer preferred) should be made during the most 
active growing months for cascades commencing from mid-May up 
to the formation of buds. When dry commercial complete ferti- 
lizers are used, it is cautioned not to over-feed a plant, always re- 
membering that light applications frequently made are far better 
than over-dosing it at any time. 
RE-POTTING. Plants may be rut into 6-inch pots when bought 
from us. Two or three shiftings into larger pots are required 
during the season and these shifts should be made before plants 
form their first root network around the inside of their containers. 
Final re-pottings may be made about the middle of July or there- 
about and sizes of pots used depend on the sizes of Cascades. 
TYING AND PINCHING. (See drawings and photos on page 31.) _ 
When the plant grows to about 12 inches tall (Drawing No. 1), 
it is bent from about the middle and its end tied to a fairly long 
“No. 12 size wire and is bent at an angle of 45 degrees (as in 
Fig. 2). The supporting wire should point north and the leader 
must be tied to it with raffia (see Figs. 2 and 3) at least once a 
week. All laterals and sub-laterals should be pinched at every 
second or third leaf joints as in Fig. 2, and this operation should 
be repeated continuously until around September 15. As the plant 
increases in width, an additional support is necessary to prevent 
toppling over on one side (see Fig. 4). The main leader is lowered 
gradually so that it will be in horizontal position around Septem- 
ber 15, as in Fig. B.. When buds begin to form, the main stem 
starts bending vertically from its horizontal position, with the sur- 
face of the plant facing south, as in picture No. 5. 
When buds begin to show color, the pot is placed on a high 
position so that the sprays will not touch the ground and bent to 
its final vertical position (as in Fig. C. Also see illustration of 
“Jane Harte”’).
