Cutting means a leaf setting, just what the leaf produces, with young plants large enough for you to divide and pot each young plant 
separately. Cuttings are sent out of pots, like plants. 
R. L. stands for Rooting Leaf, and menas the leaf was set out here in December or January and it will be too young to divide, All 
rooting leaves are sent to you just as they are planted, in small thimble-size pots of vermiculite, which little pots you are to sink 
in trays of sterilized sand; then keep the sand barely moist, and give the growing plantlets weekly feedings of Plant Marvel. When 
the plantlets are 1%’’ to 2”? high, and sturdy, you can divide them. Don’t divide them too young, which is a common error. If 
you think you might not be able to handle the growing-on of rooted leaves, do not order them, 
L. stands for a leaf fresh cut from the plant. 
WE REQUEST YOU TO INDICATE SECOND CHOICES, as stock is limited, both plants and cuttings, in some varieties.
