This method is still used to consider- able extent by commercial growers, especially in regions where the temperature seldom if ever falls below zero for any length of time. Amateur growers usually ado])t this method because of its sim- plicity and inexpensiveness. Pot culture: The young rooted cuttings are planted in thumV»-pots and gradually shifted to larger sizes as growtli demands until they are in 7-in. pots. Here they are kept and flowered, or the plants are taken up from the fiei'l in the fall and put into 7- or 9-in. pots, accord- ing to the size and vigor of the plants. This methocl is seldom used in commercial growing, being expensive, inconvenient and usually unsatisfactor5^ Time of ]ilanting: Tiiis varies somewhat with <lill'er- ent growers and in different sections. Generally, how- ever, the best results are obtaiTied where planting is done in early spring. Plants set out at this time get "well estaldished, and as a rule are stronger, healthier and 'more vigorous than those si.'t fjut later, when the weather is usually Imt and dry.
