PINOHINO MUMS. 



I have benched my mums and now 

 they have stems about eight inches long, 

 of good, healthy growth. Shall I let 

 them grow, or would you suggest pinch- 

 ing them down once morel Flowers 

 are wanted about the latter part of Oc- 

 tober. J. S. 



It all depends on whether you want 

 large or medium flowers. If your trade 

 is for rather moderate-priced flowers, it 

 would pay to take out the tops and al- 

 low two or three shoots to grow on each 

 plant. It would make no difference in 

 the flowering time of the plants whether 

 they are pinched or not. C. W.
