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 afternoon. 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 selec- 
tion, of the newer dahlias we have in the greenhouse, and guar- 
antee to surprise you, on receipt of $4.00, Special Handling, to 
your door. 
Cuttings available April 15th on to June Ist.
