propagation only. 
2. The stock plants are replanted completely every 
year into a new, chemically fumigated land. 
3. All weak plants are rogued out immediately when 
detected and more thoroughly during routine check- 
ing at blooming time. 
4. Our cuttings are taken not only from healthy re- 
selected plants but also from vigorous young growths 
as far above the ground level as possible. 
5. We are continually developing new varieties that 
are disease resistant, and discontinuing varieties we 
find unsatisfactory.
