To Lengthen the Summer, Grow Mums 



It's not hard to grow mums. Just be sure you give them a spot in 

 full sun and good garden soil. Set out the plants about 18 inches apart, 

 any time up to the middle of June. 



Pinching the plants (see page 6) will encourage them to branch out, 

 become bushier and bloom more freely. Keep the young plants 

 weeded, and water them freely in dry spells. No spraying is needed. 

 Light winter protection with evergreen boughs is a good idea. Your 

 reward will be armloads of bloom for the house at the very time when 

 most other garden plants have signed off for the year.
