digging at the proper time. Also the same rains 
prevented our customers from preparing their plant- 
ing ground. There is always too much delay between 
aigging and planting, and as a result, there is always 
scme mortality, and definitely considerable checking 
cf the growth. It is almost impossible to get the 
plants planted at'the proper time. 
Banded plants can be planted anytime. Here is part 
of a letter from another customer who, in 1958, 
planted several truck-loads of these liners in late 
August and early September: 
**_..1 wish yeu could see the stock that you 
sent up a few weeks ago. It is just beautiful. 
I dug up a few of the plants to see if they 
are rooting well enough to care for them- 
selves over the winter, and they surely are. 
This is a new time of the year for us to 
plant, and we are anxicus to see how the 
experiment werks cut.” 
While we do not recommend planting as late as 
September, yet the fact remains that these banded 
plants can be planted as late as the middle of August 
in most areas, and they will prove perfectly satis- 
factory. That means that even though we deliver 
them in May or June, if you have other werk that is 
more important, you can leave these plants right in 
the flats, (but of course water them when they need 
it,) and they will continue to grow just as if they 
were in the field. 
That alone might mean much difference in your profit 
for the year. After all, you have only about 40 to 50 
days in the spring during which time the bulk of 
your income must be realized. If you need not do 
your planting then, but can concentrate on selling 
and deliveries of your merchandise, it might mean 
to you considerably more profit from your business.
