tion, 11 week varieties should be lighted after 
August 15th to May, Ist. 12, 13 and 14 week 
varieties should be lighted Sept. Ist to April 
iSth. Two hours during August is sufficient, 
increasing one hour each month until five 
hours in November and December and then 
diminishing to four hours during January and 
February, March to three and April to two.

ROOTED CUTTINGS 
When Ordering Mum Cuttings 
Please indicate the earliest date delivery will be acceptable and the 
maximum number of cuttings that can be handled in a shipment. 
Our growers suggest—for the best service and in order to assure de- 
livery of cuttings when you want them—that it is necessary to have your 
order at least six months in advance of shipping date. Orders on shorter 
notice will receive the best possible attention. Changes or cancellations 
must be received at least thirty (30) days before shipment. We suggest 
that you advise whether substitutions will be acceptable, when giving the 
order. 
Fifty (50) rooted cuttings of a variety is the minimum that can be 
supplied. More than fifty (50) of a variety must be in multiples of 50. 
Shipments will be sent Railway Express unless otherwise instructed. 
When shipments arrive in an unsatisfactory condition for any reason— 
notify your Express Agent at once and have him mark on your express 
receipt the condition of the shipment or give you a “Joint Inspection Report.” 
Bring claim against delivering company. We hold good order receipt from 
Transportation Company and cannot be responsible for damage caused by 
their negligence. 
Rooted cuttings delivered before May 15th may set premature buds if 
night temperature rises to 60 degrees or more. Additional lighting will 
prevent this. Use 60 watt bulbs spaced 4 feet apart and 30 inches above 
the plants two to five hours, depending on season. We cannot be respon- 
sible when this condition develops. 
Use this table to determine quantity prices. 
Prices are for the number of one variety ordered, for one specific delivery 
date and not for the total number of the order.
