CHINA ’MUMS are often referred to in the trade papers and many 
growers do not understand their significance. Such blooms are not a 
specific type but are the standard commercials pinched so as to produce 
three or more blooms to each plant the same as disbudded pompons. 
They are grown mostly by the Chinese in California hence this term.
