Rooted Cuttings 
The abbreviations ‘‘R.C.’’ in the catalog mean ‘‘Rooted Cuttings.”’ 
Rooted Cuttings should be potted as soon as received and watered thor- 
oughly. Protect from direct sunlight for 4 or 5 days and keep from wind and 
drafts. The Rooted Cuttings will soon establish themselves and become a 
strong plant with a small investment. Rooted Cuttings can be ordered earlier 
than plants. A big saving is earned when you purchase Rooted Cuttings and 
you also have the newer varieties with a minimum investment. Early order- 
ing is advised on the Rooted Cuttings, as the shortage on Roots this year 
will soon exhaust the supply we have in both Roots, Plants and Rooted 
Cuttings.

Chrysanthemums For 1955 
The hardy Chrysanthemums have become a very popular fall flower 
and the increased varieties we now have to select from gives one a wonderful 
selection to plant. The following are varieties we have grown and found 
them to be very good and you can have flowers from late summer until 
freezing weather. These flowers are also know as ‘‘Mums’’ which is a nick- 
name for Chrysanthemums.
