ROOTED CUTTINGS 
The time has now come to tell our customers that 
we prefer Rooted Cuttings to plants, they are much less 
liable to be root bound, much easier handled, and seem to 
result in healthier growth. They can be planted upon receiving, 
or better still, put in pots and harden off to the air in 
a shady place until such time as you desire to plant. Use a 
strip of tar paper to protect from cut worms. If you plant 
on receiving cuttings, protect from the hot sun for a short 
time. Peach baskets are good, removing same in the late after- 
noon. Handle carefully for a short time and you will have 
every success in the world. 
Remember cuttings are much lighter and can be shipped 
special handling, and you will receive them as soon as a letter. 
SPECIAL OFFER—We will ship 6 rooted cuttings, our 
selection, of the newer dahlias we have in the greenhouse, and 
guarantee to surprise you, on receipt of $3.00, Special Hand- 
ling, to your door. 
Cuttings available April 15th on to June Isé. 
NOTICE—If you do not see listed what you desire, write 
us, possibly we have it, or can secure same 
for you. 
Special prices quoted to growers what we have in 
quantity. Write for quotations on items you are inter- 
ested in.
